    Re: Not a white Rabbit

    You must look forward to opening the curtains every morning. That view is just wonderful and beautifully captured. As to the Hare/ rabbit debate, I'm not so sure this isn't a rabbit. Hares normally have much longer ears and front legs and their rear legs are much longer and more powerful - at least in this part of the world. Although I should perhaps take into account the fact we have a nuclear processing plant only 3 miles away.

    I'm pretty sure it's a hare as although the ears are not super long they are longer and more oblong then the ears of a bunny rabbit photo I have... but I'm not sure.

    As we have no near neighbours and no frosts I leave the curtains open so yes if I manage to open my eyes it is the view. It was covered in mist this morning but has cleared up now. Thanks for the comments.

    P.S. In the top left you may be able to make out New Zealand's only oil refinery but is abut 15 miles away and I do not think it is converting rabbits into hares but if desperate I will add it to my list of excesses.


    Yes Christina I think it is a young hare. We get both rabbits and hares but normally the hares are bigger and not as photogenic as the one above.
