It was just a glimpse but I swore to myself that it was a small rabbit. So getting out of my car, I walk down the driveway to retrieve the garbage can and I steal another peek between the houses. Yep, a little bunny is about two feet away from my neighbor&#8217;s air conditioning unit. As luck would have, I have my camera.<\/p>\n<p>I quietly pull out camera and sneak over to very carefully lean around the corner of the house ready to capture <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Here_Comes_Peter_Cottontail\" target=\"_blank\">Peter Cottontail<\/a> (or Paula??). I am afraid that just the sight of me will cause it to hop away. I look though the camera around the corner and he is still just hanging out. I snap a few pictures. Lean back around for cover to check the camera. Yep. Got some&#8230;. now if I can zoom in a little more it won&#8217;t look so much like a brown rag in the grass!<\/p>\n<p>I snap a few more and then decided I probably have frightened Peter enough. Pack camera away and went inside. Here are three pictures of Peter (yes, I named him.) watching me with great intensity. One thought that crossed my mind when I verified it was a rabbit&#8230; &#8220;even with all this concrete in Houston, wildlife still blooms .&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll keep an eye out for Peter and try to snap a few more if he pokes he head my way.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.kfalcon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/khf_27214.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-202\" title=\"Peter Cottontail 1\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kfalcon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/khf_27214.jpg\" alt=\"A rabbit in between me and my neighbor\\'s house.\" width=\"369\" height=\"245\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.falconphotography.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/khf_27214.jpg 800w, http:\/\/www.falconphotography.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/khf_27214-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 369px) 100vw, 369px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.kfalcon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/khf_27212.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-201\" title=\"Peter Cottontail 2\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kfalcon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/khf_27212.jpg\" alt=\"A rabbit in between me and my neighbor\\'s house.\" width=\"370\" height=\"246\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.falconphotography.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/khf_27212.jpg 800w, http:\/\/www.falconphotography.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/khf_27212-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 370px) 100vw, 370px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.kfalcon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/khf_27216.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-200\" title=\"Peter Cottontail 3\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kfalcon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/khf_27216.jpg\" alt=\"A rabbit in between me and my neighbor\\'s house.\" width=\"370\" height=\"247\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.falconphotography.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/khf_27216.jpg 800w, http:\/\/www.falconphotography.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/khf_27216-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 370px) 100vw, 370px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Maybe he will be around next year for an Easter Portrait session.
