I shouted abuse at one of the wild rabbits last week. Called them bad bunnies. (Long story.) They were shocked. My YelpForRabbits "Best Lawn" ratings took a hit. But one was back this week. I did not swear at this one. #cottontails #rabbit #naturephotography #garden #gardenphotography #wildlife

Reckless cottontail kit. Moving out of the shadows into the sun like this makes him more visible to hawks and ravens. He's only 10cm from nose to bum. Could fit on my palm. Best seen large. #cottontail #naturephotography #photographer

I occasionally use my blog for dull nerdish items. The latest post is for #finance and #investment geeks. And if #beta and #sortino ratios aren't your thing, go to the far more fun items in the blog. Like the Philosopher's Bicycle, etc. Otherwise, keep going to blog.staadecker.com/2025/12/14/i...

For anyone who needs another photo of a small wild, midnight, cottontail. In the grounds of Chateau S. Midnight is not convenient for photography but Mrs. S. said "Aw, he's so cute." In the words of Abba "Who am I to disagree." #wabbit #rabbitrabbit #firstofmonth #biggamephotography #gardens
