There are a number of Eastern Cottontails that have taken up residence on our property. The rabbits mostly are harmless with the exception of the early-summer vegetable garden, which we have fenced off this Spring. The bunnies also attract the hawks and owls periodically, who do a decent job of keeping the bunny population in control.

Chipmunk Again
One of our new backyard residents
While working to photograph a few birds in the back yard, this little guy slinked his way into the frame. I had the Canon 135MM F/2.0L lens on the camera to capture images with that shallow depth of field and creamy bokeh, so I immediately thought there would be no way of getting a descent close-up image. So I waited. And waited. Eventually he went for the bird seed while I was kneeling just five feet away, which gave me a great opportunity to take the above images with the Canon 7D Mark II.
Have a great day!

Eastern Gray Squirrels
Here are few of the Gray Squirrels I've kept well-fed throughout the Winter. They really enjoy the nuts and black sunflower seeds I put out for the birds.
The color images are slightly edited in Adobe Lightroom, while the black and white image is post-process in Nik Software's Silver Efex Pro II.
Have a great day!
