Excellent capture. Our wildlife seems to take off in a flash as soon as they see you.

  NICE CATCH PATIENCE FOR SURE Deer do this in Penn. in many touristy areas. Have seen wild turkey that get USED to ignoring people . Have never seen a WILD RABBIT this trusting before.

  That's amazing! I can get pretty close to ours, but not that close..of course, I've never fed them either, so maybe I will try that.

  Sweet capture, Jeff! We once had a black bunny pop up in our backyard. Must have been a pet, because he let me take photos from less than a foot away. Hope he made it back to where he came from!
Looks like Leena has become the official "snack lady" to the rabbits. Cool!

  Leena must have a sweet and gentle nature for the rabbit to trust her like this! Wonderful capture of this adorable little bunny, Jeff! Excellent comp and clarity! I took some images of rabbits at the Zoo we went to which I'll be posting later on. I think they're the cutest things! :)

  It is a very trusting wild rabbit, mind you the neighbours here would chase them, rather than befriend them. A beautiful image, well taken=^..^=
