17 June 2010: Open For Business

I came home this afternoon and looked up toward the garden and spotted Peter Rabbit waiting for a table at the Bunny Buffet! You may recall a previous post about the Bunny Buffet (http://wide-angle-lens.blogspot.com/2010/05/24-may-2010-garden-grows.html) and now that everything is growing, the bunnies are making sure they are on the waiting list for the best table in the house.

24 May 2010: Bunny Buffet

My mother in law wanted to plant a garden and since we have a lot more room with direct sun, she planted it at our house. The animals haven't eaten everything...yet! I have seen a lot of bunnies in the yard getting ready for a feast.

12 April 2009 Photo: Peep Show

OK so this is not the best example of photography, but I could not let the yearly CNY Diorama Contest go by without a shout out to the Peeps. I look forward to this every year, well it's only the third year running but still I wait with anticipation. It brings me back to my childhood when making dioramas was the best class project ever and I was good at it!

This year's winner in Syracuse was call St Baldpeeps Day which was based on St Baldrick's Foundation. St Baldrick's Foundation (http://www.stbaldricks.org/) is an organization to raise awareness and funds for childhood cancer. It's great cause with events that run all over the country. Check it out!

6 April 2009 Photo: Here's Comes Peter Cottontail

...hoppin' down the bunny trail. It that time of year again - children being forced to sit on the giant scary Easter Bunny's lap to capture a picture. Too many times, I see kids screaming bloody murder as they are placed on the lap of this crazy looking bunny. Who can blame them, if you were made to sit on the lap of something that is 100 times the size of what it should be wouldn't you be frightened? Thanks Easter Bunny...BOCK! BOCK!

P.S. If a bunny eats lots of carrots and carrots are good for your eyes, why is Peter wearing glasses???

1 February 2009 Photo: Spooky Snow?

As I was getting the groceries out of the car today, I looked down at the drive way and saw several areas that looked like what only could be described as spooky ghost faces. Then I remembered my husband told me that we had a rabbit hole going through the snow to where they like to live under the deck. When I looked closer I realized these were rabbit footprints. We have anywhere from 3-6 rabbits living in our yard at any time (at least that we see regularly). Mona loves to chase them but luckily she is not fast enough to catch them. I love when the babies are born each year and will try to photograph them in the spring when they are not hiding in the snow. Here is the hole below...
