a small friend

Here's a recent night when we did take enough pictures.  In fact we took way too many, trying to get a clear shot of a friend in the background.  And as a concession to the course prep waiting for me tonight, I'm not taking the time to edit out the hammock pole.

Can you see what Eleanor is pointing at?  This rabbit is less than15 feet away from our commotion.  He sat there chewing for the longest time while we chased the ball and giggled.  Fearless?  Or hungry?
