Just doing a bit of experimenting using a fixed 50mm lens on my canon. If you look closely at the first photo, you’ll see what happens to a bunnies whiskers when he gets a little bit too close to a lit candle. oops!

Gravy
Pie/Gravy Update
We’ve nearly had the bunnies for a month now (although it feels like longer!) and they’re finally starting to get comfortable in our company. They’re still not very comfortable with each other though.. after what we thought were the beginnings of friendship, they had another huge fight and now we’re back to square one. It’s a little bit frustrating for us because we want to be able to leave them alone with each other and not come back to find chunks of fur missing, and Gravy cowering in a corner!
We’ve also had a couple of rabbit-related casualties over these past few weeks, involving: one half-chewed-through speaker cable (which caused one speaker to stop working properly and had Dave completely perplexed for about an hour), 3 completely severed tomato plant stems (now fighting for life in a vase of water), and one completely-chewed-through speaker cable (yes, the same one – we’ve learned now!). Since then, we’ve also learned that it is very difficult to reprimand a rabbit.. especially ones that look at you the way ours do! Far too adorable.
Introducing Pie and Gravy…
hm.. seems to have been a while between posts! I do have an excuse though..
Last week Dave and I headed to Paris for a few days to do a spot of sightseeing/shopping and to catch up with some family. I’ll post some photos from that trip tomorrow though because right now I want to introduce you to two new members of our German household.. Meet Pie (left) and Gravy (right)
Pie is a female Mini Lop and Gravy is a male ‘Farbenzwerge’. Despite their adorable faces, these two have been a little bit of a hand-full since we got them home last night, when Pie decided to defend her spot under the coffee table. Suddenly we had tufts of fur flying out from under the table and Gravy scampering off to find a corner, looking rather sorry for himself. Poor little guy.
They’re both fine when they’re on their own with us, but now neither of them will have a bar of each other. Clearly making bunny friends takes a little bit of time! Head here for some more photos.
