Lafayette, Colorado. There are so many rabbits in the past few years! There are two rabbits in this photo. The second is almost occluded by the first.
Brother rabbit .. illness and old age have reduced our beautiful pet rabbit to this sad creature. All 3 of us are really sad, he was such a great companion when he was young and healthy. The vet concluded his kidneys are faulty. It is a matter of time but I think he will not make it till morning.
A rendered z stack of the autofluorescence from a rabbit fleas head, taken on a Zeiss LSM700 confocal microscope. I like the paddle like 'hands' on its legs, and the ribbed structure of the body.
Sample was courtesy of a colleague's pet rabbit.

Originally introduced into Britain from Europe in the twelfth century, the rabbit is now often regarded as a pest. Numbers were drastically reduced in the early 1950's during an outbreak of myxomatosis but steadily risen again and there are now an estimated 15 million rabbits in Great Britain.Rabbits are very sociable and live together in warrens made up of extensive burrows in the ground. There is a hierarchy within the warren, where dominant rabbits do not have territories and mix only with other subordinates.
Rabbits are mainly active at night, keeping close to their warren and grazing on vegetation. In winter they may gnaw on bark, which often damages young trees. During the day, while underground, rabbits may eat their soft droppings, which still contain vitamins and proteins. The breeding season extends from January to August; litters are produced at monthly intervals in short burrows away from the buck(male). Three to seven young are born; they are independent within a month and sexually mature at four months.
Jeff and Rachel's white rabbit on their acreage on Vashon Island, WA - he's a big guy. Belle, the Australian cattle dog, was very smitten. I think he reminded her of Cherry the Chinchilla, Kev's fluffy friend who she loves. A pretty perfect Easter bunny.
Experimenting with a borrowed 500mm mirror lens (thanks Steve) provides a chance to get in close, but it's manual focus only and I found it difficult to capture a sharp image on a first outing
Re-edited with Photoshop CC 14/06/18 for improved colour balance and sharpness of the rabbit's head. Reduced amount of crop.
Thanks for looking!
Seldom seen, the rabbits Bruna and Porter are still around. I finally went to PetsMart, where I used to go several times a week minimum and now it's a miracle if I go there every four or five months. Seriously. Shifra went with me tonight since I'm getting out of work at 6 o'clock which leaves a lot of time to actually enjoy life...weird.
Anyway. Got some hay, bedding, chew treats and cleaned the cages. I also spruced up the kitchen, cleaning out my fridge, the stove (which finally works!), and scrubbing down the cabinets (four dogs will leave plenty of dirt...) all the while looking ridiculously pretty.
My job is going down the toilet and I'm seriously broke, but I'm happy....it feels like I'm human again now that I'm not working so much. I'm going to try to bring up the practicality of me moving to five days a week which will be a fucking miracle ... I think I can do it.
My porter, you know...the one I'm in love with...have always been...put in his two weeks notice. Can't blame him--I'm applying other places as well. I would love to work at a pet store! But anyway....it's so sad. I'll never see him again!
