After the Rain
A creepy crawly insect was enjoying the flavor of this coneflower/black-eyed susan. (the internet has confused me as to what kind of wildflower this is)
Ladybug glistening on turkey foot grass out back.
When I looked up from my spot in the tall grass, I saw the elusive jackrabbit. These little guys are so hard to photograph because they move so fast. I mean as soon as I spot one, poof, he’s gone. But this guy stuck around long enough for one click.

They do frolic don’t they! I usually get a shot of their butts when they are hopping away from me so I’m pleased with this shot. 🙂

Folks around here have tried to fool me with the jackelope. We were at a friends house and he had a couple mounted on the wall. I knew better though! Glad you like the ladybug. I thought you would! 😉

Your photos made me smile in the midst of a very sad week for our family – two good friends passed away, one quite unexpectedly. Looking at these pictures helps to remind me that there’s design, and sweetness, and joy in even the little things. Thanks. Leah.

Great Photos! I saw a jackrabbit recently – swear their ears are just about the same length as their front paws.

Yeah really! When they hop through the tall grass all you see are ears!
