A New Bunny in the Neighborhood

I'd been feeling kinda sad.  For several years a local wild rabbit would hang out at the base of the fir tree in my front yard.












This would happen on a sporadic basis and weeks could go by between visits.  However, it's been a very long time since the last appearance and I figured one of two things had happened.  One - the rabbit had died of old age.  Two - the rabbit made a meal for a local coyote.

Today I was pleasantly surprised to see another rabbit has found the comfort and safety of my fir tree.

I know this is a different rabbit because it's smaller than the first rabbit.  Plus, the first rabbit only hung out on the side of the trunk closest to the house.  It never napped on the outward facing side. 

I'm sad that the original rabbit has gone missing.  I'm glad that the 'tradition' continues.
