Description It is done! I have succeeded!
For the past couple of weeks, I have toyed with the idea of gaining a photograph of the rabbits that lurk my complex at night. I first spotted them while taking out the trash and thought my eyes were playing tricks on me when I spotted a certain shape through the darkness. I approached and the shape darted. I tried countless times to get a clear picture but fell short due to the lighting and darkness.
Well, today, like for the past couple of days, I opened my backdoor to find a rabbit only a couple yards away. I ran inside and grabbed my camera, and for about half an hour I played chicken and chess with the creature. Finally, I snuck up to it from around the corner of a townhouse to find it only a yard away. I carefully aimed and scored this picture. I was so excited!
Sorry about the quality, but I find it fitting. Hardy creatures like rabbits clinging to the edge of society, trying to survive in the middle of the cities like this.
Isn't it cute?

Thank you. I worked hard to catch the little rascal. Really? I didn't think it was that good. I just find it thrilling to photograph a wild animal and it was kind of a personal challenge to get a clear shot of a rabbit. Maybe I should be a nature photographer on the side or something.

He (or she) is such a wittle cutie! I love rabbits. I just saw a group of bunnies just the other day too
hehe, I caught a baby bunny when I was little. It started squeaking and scared me so I let it go.

I kept calling it a girl. It just seemed a gentler word to call to it with, as I was trying to assure it I wasn't going to eat it in an attempt to prevent it from bolting. At least we know the rabbit populations aren't going anywhere just yet.
O_O ... *shiver* You just reminded me of something I saw happen to a bunny a couple years ago. A stray I was taking care of caught one and it let out the most chilling cry. They'll do that. And I probably haven't seen the last of them either. Should I try to get more pictures?

Either way, the bunny is still adorable. A comforting thought, there will be fluffy long eared critters hopping around for many years to come
For such an sweet little critter they sure can cry loud.
oohhh! yes! more pictures!!

Must have been a shock.
I would love to see it! It's probably better then mine.
I don't really myself; I'm too self-conscious. But it's still evil fun when you have to.

along with the rabbit squeal there was a high pitched little girl scream. so yesh I was
*rummages threw computer pictures* FOUND IT! Well taking pictures at night is extremely hard.( I fail miserably at it x.x)
I don't really mean to but when I do its entertaining. I'm rather self-conscious too.

I bet that scared the rabbit much more then it scared you.
Oh, oh! Can't wait to see it!
At least I'm not the only one. Though I think my mom wants to smack me upside the head with how bad I can be with it.
