Taken from my back deck, which is about 20' above the ground. The cat is in my next-door neighbor's yard. The final shot is an experiment. I was hoping to get a bat silhouetted by the moon.

Ive never been able to get such a nice closeup as yours, though.

Thanks for sparing the rabbit the trauma of being chased!

(34,121 posts)I remember watching reruns of the TV series probably was on Saturday mornings in the mid 60s. MFF was a book, too.
Ive always been a rabbit lover and am a big fan of Watership Down, but Ive never seen any of the movies, I tend to prefer the book over the movie whenever applicable.

(34,121 posts)I just loved that story. We always read to our kids, too. I dont know who enjoyed it more! They all turned into good readers. We used to read Highlights magazine stories to them a lot, and the Berenstain Bears.

(4,673 posts)That's the neighborhood cat. I'm not sure it has a home, but I've been seeing it from time-to-time since I moved into the house four years ago. It's a little ragged, but seems healthy. My cat's outdoor adventures are limited to the back deck, which is gated and too far off of the ground for her to escape.
Here's my Calliope.
