James was grilling dinner tonight (we had steak and a salad) when he called me out on the deck. There in the neighbor's backyard was a cottontail rabbit.
I'm sure it could hear us talking, but it just remained there for a few minutes...

...then hopped a foot or two away as I was taking its picture...

...looked a bit wary...

...but finally settled down...

...checked out the area a bit more...

...before starting to groom itself...

...not forgetting that cute little cottontail!
