A Telescope by gardenfolk

A Telescope

The soul without
imagination
is what an observatory
would be without
a telescope.
...Henry Ward Beecher

This is in my son's backyard that is all rocks and dirt at the moment. The hare has been searching for some shade, under a chair or along the fence, in this 100+ degree heat. I suggested they put out some water and a carrot. This wild hare reminds me of the famous Albrecht Durer painting titled "Young Hare" from the year 1502.

Nice on Black.

Such a wise looking hare.

@gardenfolk Sorry: I didn't mean to "correct"! I was enthusiastic with this photo because I have never seen a real wild hare; only rabbits, whether in captivity or wild.

Excellent capture

@domenicododaro No worries! To me every dog is a puppy! And to me rabbits, bunnies and hares are all in the same family so I interchange the word. I added the difference to not only teach me but others if they are interested. :)

Odd looking beastie with his big ears and long nose. A great photo considering the sensitivity of a hare to be within sight!

Wow - look at those ears. Very nice on black.

Great catch! I love the shadow!
