I tried an experiment via YouTube this week - jury's still out, but I'm discovering that either 1) People don't think this is as cool/interesting as I do, or 2) People are just ignoring me.

Ready to Run
This eastern cottontail rabbit was chilling, literally laying in the yard without a care in the world, until I pulled into the driveway.
