The Degerfield Bunnies

[align=left]We took Daisy to play out in the garden yesterday - and boy did she open up!
[/align][align=left]She was straight out of the carrier, no hesittion, and bounding around in the grass!

She even started climbing all over me and begging for loves, which Daisy just doesn't tend to do.

Okay, so.. lots of pictures. I took 198 of her but you guys can have a selection of the best.

[/align][align=center]

Mmmm... strawberries...

Stawberry lips!

Gosh all that strawberry all over me...

Hehe, what are the chances of catching a bunny blinking?

Well, if you won't feed me any more stawberries, I WILL find a way to them myself.

Sit still, human, you're not making a very good lookout post!

wow, Daisy is breathtaking. Is she moulting right now or is her color always darker on her back like that?

 

[delusional]

She is moulting right now, but the fur on her back is always darker too. =P

You can see where she's moulting - the rougher looking light grey patches that are coming through the dark grey. And also the white patches on her shoulders are where she's lost big patches of fur.

Daisy is beautiful! I love this one:

You should frame some of those!

 

[delusional]

Lol, I'd tell her you said that but I think her ego is big enough... :rollseyes

I am planning on framing one or two of them. I have a big collection of bunny photos in frames on the wall already, I'll have to make some more space (or find a second bunny wall.. )

[align=left]Okay, so I'll admit it, I don't post enough pictures of Bunny and he feels left out!

So, here you go!

[/align][align=left]Bunny went for a nice afternoon out in the garden today, and I took lots of pretty pictures. He ate an enormous amount of grass, and even a couple of strawberries (which he STOLE from the strawberry beds. )

[/align][align=center] [/align][align=center]

[/align][align=center]
What? You want it back? Well, come and TAKE it back - go on!

I knew you'd give in...

All this eating is making me tired...

I said I was tired - not that I wasn't still hungry!

I love these shots...

[Jess_sully]

You have excellent photography skills- love all the new pictures!
Bunny is equally as handsome as Daisy- I just want to smoosh his puffy cheeks.

 

[delusional]

Thanks. =)

Bunny is the original Degerfield, and doesn't act like the middle-aged man he should. From what we were told, he's getting on four and a half now...

(Oh, and he LOVES having his puffy cheeks smooshed, and rubbed, and stroked.... )

 

[tonyshuman]

so many beautiful pictures of beautiful bunnies! there are several of Bunny that are just amazing, and Daisy looks like a model!

 

[Jess_sully]

awwww. Flynn likes having his cheeks stroked, too

 

[delusional]

Thanks tonyshuman!

(Daisy thinks she IS a model, lol!)

And now for some Nigel!

[align=center]

[/align][align=left]Nigel aboslutely LOVED the garden today. Well, Nigel absolutely LOVES everything, every day, he's got so much enthusiasm it just doesn't all fit in his tiny little body and it just comes spilling out all over all of us! But he had a very nice day bounding around on the grass.

[/align][align=center]And when I say bounding...

In fact, he ran so fast here....

..that he crashed into the fence...

And that's when he decided it was time to settle down a bit, and clean up...
[/align][align=center]

(Note tiny tongue!)

And come and see what I was doing...

And nibble some grass...

Before it was back to bounding...

And can't forget binkying!

Alas, my reactions were too slow to catch any other binkies, but I just love this one. Looks like he's just sitting there, hovering mid-air.

OMG I must know what settings you have your D40 on to get those mid binky and mid running shots! :shock:

I love Nigel! :inlove:

 

[delusional]

Hmm, lessee....

F-stop: f/5.6
Exposure time: 1/320
ISO speed: ISO-400

The only thing too slow was my own reactions. Next time I'll have to keep the camera trained on him the whole time!

 

[JadeIcing]

I love love love your bunnies. Now when you send them to me make sure you also draw pictures of them for me. You just know how I love your artwork.

Thanks! I'm gonna write this down and save it for future reference. My ultimate goal would be to catch a mid binky. First I'll have to work with the lighting indoors because I know that shutter speed will come out with pitch black pictures with the way things are now :?

 

[Haley]

Nigel is adorable! I love this one:

It looks like he's floating. lol

Your bunnies are all so adorable. Are any of them bonded?

 

[delusional]

Raspberry and Cordie are together (though not spayed yet and we did have some difficulties with them a while ago, so I don't know if they'll stay together - fingers crossed).

And we were working on Ollie and Mango - they nearly got there but then we had to stop because Ollie got worms and we didn't want them spreading (turns out we had to treat everyone anyway, but still...) And I have to admit we've been a bit bad about it since then... I'm thinking outdoor bonding time while I'm off work to kick us off again.

Aaand then we'll be working on Daisy and someone, though I don't know which lad we'll try her with.

 

[RexyRex]

You have such a good looking group! I love you mid binky shot, wish I could get pics like that but my work camera is too slow.

 

[mouse_chalk]

WOW!! Those pictures are amazing! I LOVE the Nigel shots... he's sooo cute! That binky shot is the best!

I've never tried the exposure up so high on my camera as it tends to make it darker, but I can't remember what the f-stop and ISO was when I did that before... I'll have to try it again because my binky shots came out blurry last time!

I hadn't realised how much of a cutey Bunny was either... I love his little nose pics! I can never get those either cos the cheeky little buns wont stay still enough, and come towards me to eat the camera lol

 

[delusional]

Thanks guys!

Yeah, as you may notice, the trick to nose shots with Bunny is to catch him while he's stuffing his face!

Not that he really stopped stuffing his face...
