How Cute Are We?


Quite a few really "cute" creatures like to frequent the watering hole at COC (Chihuahuan Observation Center, Lizard!), and I like to spend time photographing them. The Desert Cottontail is one of my favorites, epitomizing as it does the very essence of cute-ositude. Just look at those black-button eyes; don't they make you want to run out and buy a chocolate rabbit to consume?
And what about the Quail family?--Dan, Marilyn and offspring. This group was caught on the run so the photo is definitely C quality. But, boy, can those babies move. The little ones--no bigger than a shelled Planters peanut--have little trouble keeping up with the track-star adults.

I hope you can get another shot of the bunny with split ear so we know she (or he) is OK. Perhaps this bunny is a cousin.

Spooked Deer

Haynes Canyon early Just as we were about to enter the forest from the top of our drive we kicked up several deer that jetted away from us. ...
