Two Hares

were observed from a window....
8:00 A.M

One hare watched cautiously from a spot on a mound,

while the other hare dozed under a bush.

Suddenly, the first hare became fully alert, turned and ran into the woods.

The other hare sat up at this commotion, but stayed sitting under the bush.

Later, when I checked, the hare had left this cozy spot and was sitting on the driveway.  She seemed to want to go back to her nap and hopped in the direction of the bush, pausing to eat a dandelion leaf on the way.  She didn't stay too long though.  The mosquitoes may have bothered her too much as every so often she flicked her ears to shoo them away.
