Bunny Run

The predicted rain did not make an appearance today, other than a few showers. So even though there was still high water in the underpasses and debris all over the walkways around my building, I got in to work without much trouble. It was a pleasant day back, with people being nice to me and all. Ha! Wait until I've been back a couple days!

Anyway, it was sprinkling a bit when I headed home, and so nice and cool out that I decided to go for a run. By the time I got outside the rain was completely gone, and it was pleasant along the bayou.

It was turning out to be a totally uneventful run when I came across some bunnies! They're not usually out in the late afternoon/early evening, so I'm thinking they were probably hungry after being rained in for so long, and with the cool temps and absence of people walking their dogs along the bayou, they felt brave. It was great seeing my little friends for the first time this summer. An unexpected and welcome treat.

I don't know about your neighbourhood. But I never seen a bunny in the past 10 years. Now, out of nowhere I seen them all over my area.

I believe it is a bunny invasion...

I see tons of bunnies when I ride or walk home from work. And I think their nummbers are increasing drastically. Not many naturual predators along my stretch of Braes Bayou.

They are cute to watch scurring to get out of sight in the tall grass. Wonder what will happen to them the next time they mow the banks?

Awww man .. I want to come and run with you and the bunnies!! We have some bunnies in our neighborhood but they don't like our yard because we have a stray cat who hang under our porch and scares them away...

That sounds like it was a great run! How far is Houston from DC? Hmmmm

I always love seeing the cottontails when I'm out for a run. They're everywhere!
