I drew this rabbit amidst a field of giant carrots in my sketchbook but decided to make a quick stamp out of him. :D

I have this rabbit that has made a home in my backyard. When I went to take this shot he looked at me as to say what are you doing in my house. He has now made my yard his home.
This wild rabbit was fearless and allowed me to inch up almost to the minimal focal distance of my telephoto lens.

When you photograph birds in the backyard and you suddenly see a rabbit less than ten feet away smelling your yard long bean plants!!
This is my daughters' rabbit, Mittens. He is a very cute rabbit but not all that friendly towards us. This is a real shame as he is very cuddly looking but seems to get quite stressed when we pick him up.
I am so happy with this Rabbit family living in my backyard and Neighborhood, is a growing family now. I do hunting them for a good shot and they always do it for me....
This is one of MANY who enjoy our garden as much, or even more than we do. Here in the 'burbs dogs don't roam or stray. There is no rabbit hunting in town. As a result there are WAY more of these than we need. And they aren't the least bit afraid of people. I drove up in my truck, got out and took this picture. It was within 10 feet of me and never even budged. See what I mean?

The Rabbit was introduced to the U.K. by the Romans in the 1st century as a source of food and fur. Some time after this a number of animals escaped to form a wild breeding population , the Rabbit is now accepted as a indigenous species. Rabbits are now widespread throughout Britain and Ireland, but are absent from A few smaller Scottish islands. Rabbits can be found almost anywhere they can burrow with the most suitable areas being banks , woodlands edge and hedgerow. The rabbit has long ears without black tips , about the same length as it’s head , and long hind legs; its colouring is sandy and less reddish than brown hare. The eyes are brown and lighter in colour than it’s cousin the Hare. Body length is around 40cm and they weigh between 1.2 – 2kg , the male is usually heavier and larger compared to the female.
Bunny facts – Rabbits are born with their eyes shut. Once their eyes open, they have 360-degree vision meaning it’s difficult to sneak up on a rabbit. They do have a small blind spot directly in front of their face.

A rabbit kit pauses for a moment, lifts it's head, and then continues to chew away on grass. I was amazed at how relaxed it was with me watching.
Taken with a Canon 70D DSLR and Sigma AF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 APO DG with the following settings: f/7.1, 1/500 s, and ISO 800.
seeing wild rabbits always reminds me of Adams' book, Watership Down.
“Rabbits (says Mr. Lockley) are like human beings in many ways. One of these is certainly their staunch ability to withstand disaster and to let the stream of their life carry them along, past reaches of terror and loss. They have a certain quality which it would not be accurate to describe as callousness or indifference. It is, rather, a blessedly circumscribed imagination and an intuitive feeling that Life is Now. A foraging wild creature, intent above all upon survival, is as strong as the grass.”
