Cottontail

Just hanging out eating some clover.

He's pretty fat for a wild rabbit. Nice shot, looks sharp and clear and its got good natural surroundings. And so cute. but, they aren't the smartest animals by any means. I was sitting at my picnic table the other day and one didn't see me and walked right up to me. I'm talking 6 inches away haha. Luckily had my camera too. How far away were you when you got this?

I was about 7 to 8 feet. The ones in my yard don't usually let me get that close. If I would have know it was going to let me get so close I would have shot from a lower position.

How did you get him to stand still? All I ever get is the cotton tail bouncing in the frame ;-)

He just sat there and let me take the pic. I figured it would have hopped away before allowing me to get that close.
