Saving A Bunny Today, Losing A Bunny Today

We lost a bunny today, and saved a bunny today. I was out in the far pasture photographing Ted Emerson as he brush hogged the rear pasture. I looked down and saw the brush hog rolling over a rabbit’s nest near a tree I saw a baby rabbit run right under the tractor blade and die, he was crushed.

I ran ahead of Ted and got him to stop the tractor, and he turned sharply away from a second bunny, who just froze, trembling. He was saved. In a few minutes, he ran off into the brush, I saw his mother there waiting for him. He waited long enough for me to take a picture of  him.
