Ghost Bunnies

Flutter above the snow

White tails bobbing, off they go

I'm glad they do this

Don't cha know

Cuz if the doggies see them

Down I go.

Morning dog walking can be fraught with peril, although it's worse after the sun comes up and the red squirrels come down from the honey locust.

It's pretty out there in the moon stained snow though, quieter than usual,everything a soft shade of midnight blue

Not much traffic so early in the morning and the sound all muffled by a couple of inches of new fluff.

I listen as hard as I can for the Great Horned Owls, but not yet.....not yet...too soon I guess.

If the snow gets deep and they get hungry for rabbit, down they will come from the back hills I think..

There are a thousand, thousand, thousand footprints lacing the yard like rabbit macrame. 

What's not to like for a hungry hunter?
