Desert Cottontail Gallery

Between the Toes
We came across this desert cottontail in Petroglyph National Monument in Albuquerque. Even though we were excited to see the many rock drawings, the little rabbit of course was just going about its daily routine, mostly just resting during the day, here taking a moment to clean out between its toes.

Or flashing me the peace sign. Or telling me to live long and prosper.

Hard to say.

While it might look like I'm about to get the world's softest headbutt, the little cottontail tucked its head in tight to groom the fur of its chest.

Fitting In
The desert cottontail's coloring is well-suited to the desert where it lives. I didn't get the composition quite right on this one but oh how I adore the soft light on this lovely little rabbit.
