Geoff Fox: My Permanent Record
Back when I was in school teachers would always scare me with stories of how my exploits would end up in my permanent record. I believe this is it! – Geoff Fox
Helaine spotted tonight’s rabbit from the upstairs bathroom window. Would he stay long enough for me to get my camera? Would he let me approach? Would he have a white cotton tail?
This is rabbit season. They’re all over the place. Unfortunately for them the coyotes have dinner plans.
I emailed a link to Stef earlier tonight. It’s video from Ōkunoshima, a small Japanese island. The island houses a colony of very cute, very tame, extroverted, cottontails.
It’s commonly known as “Rabbit Island.” Stef called and renamed it. It’s now, “Bunny Island.”
She then proceeded to describe the trip I should take her on to this island. She likes bunnies.
Here’s the video that started it all!
I made it to the front steps just as the bunny took off. He wanted a little cover and protection. He found it alongside a large rock in my neighbor’s yard.
Four words: “Is that a bunny?” As soon as Helaine asked it I was off… not toward the bunny. I was heading upstairs to get my camera, plug in a battery and switch lenses.
“God,” I said to myself, “I hope he doesn’t have a short attention span.”
I made it to the front steps just as the bunny took off. He wanted a little cover and protection. He found it alongside a large rock in my neighbor’s yard.
Our rabbit friend sat graciously as I snapped away and closed the distance between the two of us. Finally he’d had enough and was gone.
Here are my three best shots.
