bunnies

As we leave the birds, I'll say again I am disappointed I couldn't get any reasonable pics of chickens. People show an incredible number of kinds of chickens. Most of them are fancy, with amazing color, or amazing feathers, or both. All were securely surrounded with fencing, and even with manual focus my pics were at least as much about the fencing as the birds. Sigh.

So we'll go back to mammals. Rabbits were in the same building as chickens. The rabbit people kindly put a bunch of small bunnies in large cages with no tops. Your intrepid photographer was able to lean over the top, and snap pics with no obtrusive metal between her and her subjects.

Here's some more contrast. A bunny with no pigment at all, and another with a ton of it.























I believe the dark one is a rex bunny. Rex bunnies are about like chinchillas, to the touch. Their hair seems to have no "grain" -- it's just as smooth to stroke one direction as the other. Short hair, and *very* soft.
