Mother's Love

I am happy to report that 4 of my photos were used on the Reliable Carriers (http://www.reliable-carriers.com/) website. Check it out! Just makes my day! :D


My backyard is full of life! To be exact... little bunny life. Yesterday I discovered a Rabbit's nest. All four little bunnies were snuggled up together. It was the cutest thing ever. So what was I to do? Snap some shots off, of course! Here's my favorite shot. Notice the little butt in the air on the right side. I decided to read up on Rabbit's nest, because I was concerned that they might be abandoned. What I found out was... the mother will only come late at night or early in the morning to feed them. She doesn't sit on the nest like most mammals. She covers them in fur and grass to keep them warm throughout the day. She does this so that it won't attract any unwanted predators. As long as those little bunnies have full bellys and aren't crying.... well then, that's the way you know the mother is doing her job. If you move or take the bunnies out of the nest, the distraught Rabbit is known to search for her bunnies for up to a week. Now that's a mother's love!

  1. Love the pics so far Tina! Can't wait to see more. We had a robin's nest outside our front window this spring. It was fun watching the progress. Wish I could have photos like the ones you were able to! Good Luck!
