I snow shoed up our back hill this morning. The going was tough as I was breaking new snow--over a foot---which had fallen this week during our biggest storm of the winter. I had to pause every 100 feet or so to take a breath. When I reach the top I surprised a snow shoe rabbit and he hopped off out of harm's way.
Later I returned with my camera with Lindley walking behind me. I looked over to the cluster of trees where the rabbit had run from before...not really expecting to see him again, but there he was huddled in the middle of the cluster of trees. He did not move this time and I was able to take a few pictures of him.
Lindley arrived a few minutes later and he was still frozen to the same spot....probably terrified of these tall strangers gawking at him.
