A view near the top of Slieve Donard. The clouds were amazing. This is a stitch from about 7 images. I have reduced the image to half its size.
It was a bit muddy and wet yesterday.
These lovely hares have a wonderful unique way of running using their very powerful back legs. More of their leg positioning in different phases of their stride will be shown in future posts.
Mountain Hare taken this past weekend in the Highlands. A fair trek up to capture these lovely animals as their coats are all almost back to brown until winter again.
Back on the hares! I haven’t been up for ages as the fields have been so flooded and waterlogged, and last time I went I didn’t see any at all and thought they had moved on elsewhere. However, I thought I’d give it a go yesterday morning and was so pleased to spot a group of them in the middle of the field. I crawled along the hedgerow to try and get closer to them when I suddenly realised this little guy was so close to me, he was so well disguised in the soil. I crawled to just 10 feet from him and spent some time observing him cleaning himself and chilling in the sun. This picture is uncropped, that’s how close I was to him. What a wonderful way to spend a morning, well worth getting muddied up to the eyeballs!
This Mountain Hare had established a discreet hiding place and only popped into view when another Hare in the vicinity was getting all the photographers attention !
Taken at Centre Parcs, Whinfell Forest.
Thank you to everyone who views, faves or comments on my photos, it is always appreciated.
The brown hare is known for its long, black-tipped ears and fast running - it can reach speeds of 45mph when evading predators.
The Brown Hare can be between 24 and 30 inches tall. Also they can be up to 11 pounds in weight.
good to go
Brown Hare / lepus europaeus. Lincolnshire. 11/04/22.
'ON FULL ALERT.'
Brown Hare activity has started to ramp up now, though as yet any I've seen have been rather distant.
My image was made two years ago on a disused airfield. The hare had worked its way leisurely across the grass towards me, scenting the ground all the time. Due to this behaviour I assumed it was a buck, either trailing a doe or trying to seek one out.
This is the nearest it came to me, due the bag hide I was hidden in getting battered by strong winds and making a lot of noise! Not ideal concealment on that particular day!
BEST VIEWED LARGE.
I've spent a lot of time recently photographing hares, waiting motionless in the concealment of a hedge bottom.
this one paused a number of time, getting closer and closer with each subsequent pause, eventually it was with 5 meters of the lens when I released the shutter. it did come closer though I resisted taking more shots so as not to spook it.

The two phenomenal artistic comets of the 1980s contemporary art scene in New York City are brought together in this mural. Largely discovered by Andy Warhol, both Keith Haring (1958-1990) and Jean-Michel Basquiat (1960-1988) quickly shone like supernovae until their lives were ended by illness and drugs.
The Haring reference is particularly apt, as not far from here in 1984, the New York artist himself painted a mural in his iconic style. Sadly, it was damaged by vandals recently. [Those feral humans who understand nothing of value - veritable oxygen thieves of which there are far too many around these days.]

I recall seeing the exhibition of both these artists in Melbourne in 2019. www.ngv.vic.gov.au/exhibition/keith-haring-jean-michel-ba...
From Streets to Canvas: The Rise of Jean-Michel Basquiat - the Rebel Genius
If this rabbit only knew, we had no intention of causing harm. He took off as if we scared him to near death.
Explore - April 22, 2024 (#187)
One of my photographic highlights from last year was a trip to the vast peat moorlands of the Peak District in search of these little beauties with a local friend of mine who knows the area like the back of his hand.
After several miles of walking in the rugged terrain we caught some glimpses of some hares mainly running in the other direction.
We struck lucky however, after stopping for lunch in this little gully .A group of about six male Hares known as Jacks were scenting and following a female known as a Jill.They passed within feet of us and even stopped to look at us before going on their way.
This is a shot of one of the males who circled us and sat on the bank just above us.
I think you will agree a lucky and an amazing encounter,
I photographed some hares in the UK this spring in a beautiful field. It certainly helped being completely camouflaged.
