Snowshoe Hare in Alaska run in a 7 year cycle. At the peak of the cycle, there will be thousands of Hares hopping around and at the valley, they are very scarce. The Hares are beginning their upward swing in the cycle as we have noticed many more this year so far. We have been fortunate to have a Hare that lives on our property. We don't see him everyday but we do see him often.
This shot was taken in the woods near our cabin. The Hare is healthy and still has its winter white rear feet. We are not sure if this Hare is male or female or if there is a family that we haven't seen. A few years back, we seen three Snowshoe Hares on our property at the same time, but in the past few years, only one at a time.
Snowshoe Hares are hunted by Lynx, Fox, Coyotes, wolves, owls, and other birds of prey.
There are many differences between a Rabbit and a Hare. Rabbits are born with no fur and their eyes are closed, on the otherhand, Hares are born with full fur and their eyes are open. Hares are also much larger than their Rabbit cousins.The Snowshoe Hare turns fully white during the winter months.
i was so lucky to see so many hares during my two weeks vacation at the north west coast of germany. while their numbers are in decline in some of the counties here their numbers are very good. Nordfriesland, Germany
An Arctic hare blending into its surroundings. I will always remember this moment because it was so cold that I got an icicle on my eye lash. This photo is a bit shaky due to the strong winds but I am happy with it :-)!
A couple of accidental shots which I decided to post because I was surprised by the detail and liked the movement! My instincts from macro images are to capture static, profile images and I've had little luck panning for action shots. It would be nice to capture movement in a wider shot. Will try harder!

It will be a fun fish and chips party dear Daisy Maude, I promise you! We're going to eat fried fish and....I'm going to surprise you with a "Hollandse Nieuwe". That's a raw herring with onions that you have to slide into your mouth. It's called "Haring Happen".
Typically Dutch
Herring may be called Hollandse Nieuwe if the fish is sufficiently fat, and has been chewed, salted and matured in the traditional Dutch way. (Croaking is the traditional way, while heading is done with computer-controlled machines.) In addition, the herring, like any fish, must be deep-frozen at a temperature not exceeding -20°C for 24 hours. The maturation process takes at least one day and up to seven days at a temperature of 0-4°C. Enzymes from the pancreas and salt play a major role in maturing jerked herring and ultimately determine the flavour.

Only posting this taken from the car shot as it was so nice to see hares back in this particular area. Last year there was some illegal activities going on and I thought we had lost the small population. To see two in in this particular field was great after 11 months of no sightings.
I don't know if buck chasing another buck, or if he is after the doe. ?
UPDATE: A knowledgeable colleague has told me that they are trying to mate.

Still going with the hares. It's been a good season with them so far, and with some lovely light at dawn...
I'm also taking the opportunity to promote a new coffee table book called 'Wilder Britain'. It's a kickstarter project started by Wilder-World. The book will feature 185 pages filled with memorable wildlife encounters by 60 UK based photographers. Its aim is to promote the wild in Britain, its importance and why we should all choose to protect and enjoy it. All proceeds from buying the book will go to re-wilding projects across the UK.
If you're able to buy the book that would be fantastic, and you'll be safe in knowledge that you have directly supported conservation in the UK. The kickstarter page is below, where you can find out more...

Hares can be frustrating animals to try to photograph. Sometimes they come closer and closer, then veer off in the opposite direction. Sometimes they get far too close and other times they just wander off into the longer greenery. This one had done the latter, so I went to get back in my car. Then I turned back and from "nowhere" it was coming up the top of the field behind me. Just managed to get this (shot through some long but sparse stalks of grass) before it noticed me and changed direction :-)
Young mountain hare that I've followed since he/she was still a leveret. Lovely to see in winter pelage looking stunning!
