I saw three rabbits yesterday. Well, actually they were hares;
Varying Hares, also known as
Snowshoe Rabbits or
Snowshoe Hares. The fur on these mammals turns white in the winter and brown in the spring/summer.

In early April of this year I photo- graphed a hare with its fur colour in transition. It still had some white fur showing but the brownish colour was now becoming dominant.
A few years have gone by since I've seen many hares along the roadsides like I used to, but so far this year I have seen five.
I was driving along an old dirt road a month or so ago when I saw this hare in the photo, feeding in a ditch on greenery near a rather large puddle.

He looked rather curious when I drove by but as I didn't stop it continued feeding. Having decided to return home, upon my return trip I could see that the hare was still feeding so I approached slowly in my car and managed to take four or five pictures from my car window before it decided to hop away.
