The Snowshoe Hare
The Snowshoe Hare is wandering around my yard enjoying the new spring grasses and weeds. There are two things very unique about this rabbit. One being it turns white in the winter, which I have never been able to get a photo of one that is white. Well, that means I would have to be here in the winter as well. 🙂
The other is the size of their back feet. This size helps to keep them on top of the snow during the winter. Hence the name snowshoes. 🙂

Beautiful!
Thank you very much Katherine.
I like this rabbit who will get bigger as it nibbles on all that lush grass. Those feet are pretty large!
Yes, they are not very afraid of me either so I can get pretty close.
I like seeing them in the early morning with the light coming through their ears, so you can see the soft pink and veins in those ears.
nice shots of those feet 🤣😎🙃
Amazing rabbits for sure and very fast. 😊😅
Love these photos. Those are some big feet!
Thank you, and they are super fast when running.

Oh how adorable…those FEET!
They are such a cool rabbit.
Too cute! squeal
great shots!
Thank you very much 😊
We used to see them up in Montreal in the winter. They look like bouncing snowballs against the snow! So cute!
I have not seen one when they are white for winter. They probably blend right in with the snow.
Fine photos, Sandra

They are quite the rabbit. Some mornings there are 5 or 6 of them running around. 😊
