found only in north america the snowshoe hare has 'big feet' to allow them to get around better on the snow, they also will change totally white in the winter to aid camouflaging against predators....
We've had a family of Snowshoe Hare living on our property for the last three years now. I was unloading our truck in the driveway and this guy hopped right over to investigate. Since my camera was in the front seat, thought I should take his photo.
Snowshoe Hare running around! I tried some high key images today; white subject on white snow on a cloudy day... BTW those are the back legs....
Dave took this of me coming back from the back woods.
This was last weekend when we went up snow shoeing. 16* These are my shorter aluminum snow shoes and I love these more then the heavy old ones.

So precious and innocent. It is hard to believe that anything so adorable, was put on earth to be a main food source, for a great many predators.

Spent a magical few days in the far North of Sweden. Absolutely loved snowshoeing, as it bought us close to the landscape in total tranquility. Very fortunate to see some wonderful wildlife while on snowshoe and it really was a great way to escape from the daily grind!
A Snowshoe Hare in autumn that is in the midst of transitioning to its winter white coat. It had just been chased by the Pine Marten posted to the left but it is safe here. It started with a huge lead on the weasel which eventually gave up its all-out chase.
Sax Zim Bog. Minnesota. We kept missing the ermine by just minutes but was a nice consolation prize to get some time with this handsome hare.
Snowshoe Hare - Every year these guys come out of the woods late afternoon to steal bird seeds at a public feeder. Some years we can count 9 to 10. I have only seen 4 this year. I always wanted to capture the light behind those wonderful ears but it never happened...Even though the sun angle was not low enough for what I wanted to achieve here, I am very happy anyway as I have tried to get this composition and the backlit to show the ears and fur for several years... but there is a lot that needs to happen to get that shot: 1) a sunny day 2) subject position and/or sun position 3) time of the day and finally time of the year for the sun angle... So I am satisfied right now but will still try again some sunny day.
Our resident Snowshoe Hare showed up again this morning for a photo shoot. Since the last shoot, 10 day ago, the grass is much greener in our yard. With the sun shining, the Hare's ears look like they are lit up.
