Wildlife Induced Housework

[akirlu]

I see squirrels from my den workstation all the time. Among other things, they like to bury seeds and nuts in the neighbor's flowerbed. And we see the tiny brown wild rabbits down by Mill Creek and the Green River quite regularly. But this was the first time I'd seen one of the little wild woodland bunnies hop right up the neighbor's driveway. Happily, I had my camera to hand. Less happily, my window was filthy and the autofocus kept trying to fix on the pane instead of what was outside. With some finagling I got my bunny photo, but afterwards, I went straight to the kitchen to get some spray cleaner and paper towels. Because holy cow, that window. I'm not showing the picture where the camera focused on the window pane. I do have some pride. Here, have a nice picture of a bunny instead.

Aw! So cute! That was worth cleaning your window for.

If retroactively worth it, yeah. :)

Yeah, boy was I surprised. And so very glad that my camera was actually right in front of me on the desk because I had been uploading some photos to Flickr earlier in the day, because I'm sure I couldn't have gotten up to get a camera without startling the bunny into flight.

Cute picture.

Apparently the Washington DC area is experiencing an explosion of bunnies. A Washington Post columnist wrote (http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/rabbit-population-explodes-in-washington-area-neighborhoods/2013/08/03/e911ac44-fbac-11e2-a369-d1954abcb7e3_story.html) about it recently.
