POTD: Bunny Flop

Bunny Flop
Bozeman, Montana
2026

A young teenage girl, holding a skateboard and wearing a bike helmet, getting ready to try and pull her clearly pampered pet rabbits behind her, each on it’s own heavy looking wooden wagon. We stopped and talked to her (and her dad) for a while about what it’s like to have rabbits as indoor pets. The rabbits seemed totally unperturbed by strangers, barely moving the whole time we were there. We should have stuck around to see if she could actually pull the two wagons behind her on her skateboard but didn’t. I don’t remember the name of the rabbit on the front wagon, but the one on the trailing wagon’s name is Bunny Flop.

POTD: Home Ground #38

Home Ground #38
Bozeman, Montana
2026

I’ve photographed this outbuilding before but not in the context of this series of images I don’t think. Plus I liked the lighting in this shot, making it worthy of a repeat.

This is the first outbuilding we built after we’d started building our house in the mountains. It was built primarily of used lumber acquired at a farm auction. The window and door came from the old Anaconda copper mine in Anaconda, Montana. The building serves primarily as a tool shed for gardening etc. Since I’ve always liked photographing old buildings, I built this one to look old from the beginning and let it weather from there.

It seems a bit of a tradition in Montana, and elsewhere I assume, to throw found skulls and other bones on the roofs of sheds or barns or even houses. So I started doing that here many years ago. I haven’t added anything in recent years though. There used to be a lot more on the roof of this shed but between high winds, critters, and general ageing and deterioration of the bone material itself, there is not much left.
