A selection of Hare shots from my summer encounters with this wonderful animal.

This beautiful Hare stayed around long enough for me to get a few shots

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.]

Something I've only ever seen from a long way away, it was a fantastic morning yesterday watching these two! At long last (I've been watching Hares on and off for two years) I was a decent distance away from these two boxing away. I was a like a young kid at Christmas afterwards!

Watched this hare for half an hour . Nice to catch it eating dandelion

Mountain Hare on Ben Chonzie Highland Perthshire. Scotland.

A snowshoe hare seen in Denali National Park.

When you go owling the unexpected often happens.

 

For whatever reason I seldom get the opportunity to photograph these beauties. You can imagine therefore my delight to come across two of these gorgeous animals in one night.

Managed a couple of Brown Hare shots as well as the Kestrel, otherwise not much else seen. The Owls were too far away to get a shot

Lovely to find seven hares in one field , they were quite distant but eventually two came pretty close

Another shot of the gorgeous youngster I saw at the end of May!

Something different from the images of Scotland recently - two photos taken close to home as I start up my annual hare project again...

just spotted this as I was coming out of my quarry

Brown hare in the field

Havergate Island, Suffolk

Really enjoying spending time with these guys again now spring is well on its way.

We came upon this snowshoe hare while snowshoeing in the backcountry. The hare is wearing his winter camouflage coat. The first line of defense against predators is to freeze in position. He is still very visible so if we were Mr. Coyote, he would have to use his next line of defense which is speed. But, the snow cover was very hard today and he would gain no advantage from his large rear paws from which he gets the name - snowshoe hare.

 

Back to the Hares for a few more images. Hopefully I'll get a bit more time to spend with them this summer...

Misty hare from this morning at sunrise. The mist wasn't in the forecast and didn't last long, but it was nice to make use of the atmospheric conditions when these hares came close. Worth the 4am start I'd say!

More from the last few weeks...

Really enjoying spending time with these guys again now spring is well on its way.

A couple more from the ongoing project with the hares... :)

An Irish Hare racing through a Fermanagh field - Its lovely to have these beauties on our doorstep and I always love to se them!

Apologies for the poor quality photo (taken through a filthy kitchen window in bright sunlight & heavily cropped) but I just had to share this special moment when a Hare came to visit me. I'd only just got up & was waiting for the kettle to boil when I spotted it's ears as it bounded through the long grass in the field heading our way & quickly grabbed my camera. Luckily it popped through the fence & posed on the driveway for a few seconds before bounding away.

 

Irish Hares are a species of Mountain Hare, different to the larger Brown hares common in Northern Ireland & the mainland UK. Unlike many Mountain Hares their fur generally doesn't turn white in Winter www.hare-preservation-trust.co.uk/irish.php

Early spring "frosted" look as its pelt is slowly changing to summer browns.

A lovely foretaste of the summer seaside - a stand of Hare Tail Grass on the shore of Waubs Bay, Bicheno, Tasmania.

 

Taken with a bit of legacy glass that gets an outing every once in a while - a Nikkor-P 75mm f/2.8 lens designed and produced by Nikon in the 1970s for the Bronica S series medium format camera.

 

It's a gloriously sharp lens stopped down but with very plush bokeh left wide open. It's uncoated however so flare must be well managed. A few to come from this outing.

 

Nikon Z6, Nikkor-P 75mm f.2.8, 1/8000th sec at f/2.8, ISO 160.
