Convenient Target
Bozeman, Montana
2015
A grab shot from testing my new telephoto lens from a convenient perch on our porch. Rabbits are a sure subject matter around our house these days. We’ve had a rabbit or two living under our porch for several years but this year that’s turned into nearly a dozen of all ages. They’re all quite tame and hardly flinch when we come outside.
Everyone else we know is seeing lots of rabbits this year too. I read rabbit populations tend to run in cycles of about ten years. We’re obviously at or near (hopefully) the high point of one of the cycles. I also read that coyote population cycles follow those of the rabbits pretty closely. We’re still waiting for them to show up around the house.
I would rather have a problem with rabbits, rather than the gophers and rattlesnakes I have.
Super sharp great photograph, what lens did you get?
Thanks Alan, and the lens is the Sigma 150-600 Sport model zoom. So far I’ve been very impressed with it, a major improvement over their old 150-500 zoom I had before. Only downside is its size and weight–it’s a big guy and a bit unwieldy shooting handheld.
Very nice shot, even if you were only “testing”! 🙂 I love how the light comes through its ears, translucent like my cat’s ears.
Thanks Kathy.
