There is a common misconception that me and my kind are unstoppable. Ever since that freekin Energizer scumbag, we have had to live up to  the falsehood concerning our status, stamina, and speed! I am only a bunny! I tire easily when chased. I get hot in the summer and cold in the winter. Don’t get me wrong, I may be cute, fuzzy and I have these adorable eyes but I am a survivor.

But come on people!!! I am not a superhero!  So, next time you see me scurrying for my life and trying to get away from hawks, owls, eagles, fox, coyotes, weasels,wolves, bears, cougars, or any others in a long string of bunny haters.  Remember we do go fast when we have to, but we don’t KEEP ON GOING.   So give us a break would you, and let a bunny rest once in a while. You will be a better person for it and we will finally be rid of the energizer LIE once and for all.

 

For those of you who entered the Name that photo contest on A “Focus” in the Wild’s Facebook Fanpage I thank you~  For those who are not yet following or fans.. Stop by and check it out.. ~ Thanks.. and if it warms up a bit today, I think I will go out and see if I can find some bunnies for supper…..

We don’t have ground hogs here in the West.. so today I am posting photos of some of their distant relatives.. But our weather doesn’t look anything like the photos above.. it looks more like the photo below.. and I would guess if one of these furry little rodents sticks it’s head our of the snow.. It will have a big surprise waiting for it.. ~ A not so friendly/hungry surprise..  Read More →

I am not sure what the rancher is growing in his back field. Went back to be sure that this crazy doe had not been hit by a car and she gave me the peace sign.. all was good, she was just REALLY enjoying the warmth of the sun, and something in her cud.. lol  Read More →

“Stay strong America” I have heard it said that animals are the first to recognize a disaster.. they are so intune to the world that they live in, they have to be to survive. Before the tsunami’s, before humans were even aware of the earthquake.. the wildlife was on the move to high ground.. Before the big earthquakes people recall their pets getting restless and agitated.. Makes me wonder what scared the heck out of this beautiful bird.. this Majestic symbol of American strength and freedom.??.. I don’t live anywhere near the ocean, and I did not feel the ground shake.. did you? I did not post this as an open... [SEE MORE]

The American Bison go into a lethargic stage in the winter to conserve energy, this by no means makes them any less dangerous.. I am very fortunate to be able to photograph some of these massive creatures from the safety of a vehicle and have done so for years.. I learned a lesson this year on a recent trip to town.. we had a meeting and a little time to kill so I asked Hawk if we could take a drive, and see if we could find the Big Horn sheep on their winter range, and to see how many bison had migrated out of the park for the winter.. It was a beautiful day shared with our youngest son.. After locating and photographing the Big Horn Sheep..... [SEE MORE]
