oh dandelions!
if only we could see them
with a rabbit's eyes!
You can read an imagined (and fanciful!) bunny's eye view of dandelions here starring our bunny Anya (now sadly no longer with us).
but not all rabbits are impressed by dandelions, as you can see here on Houseful of Rabbits.
What a lovely idea Juliet - I find the idea enchanting.
ReplyDeleteI loved dandelions when I was little, I used to pick them all for mum to put in the lounge room vase.
ReplyDeleteDo the rabbits eat them? I kind of like dandelions, and don't mind them in the grass at all.
ReplyDeleteThanks Weaver!
ReplyDeleteBlossomFlowerGirl - that's so sweet!
Sandy - some rabbits eat the flowers, most rabbits eat the leaves
Anya is super-cute, and I can't believe you ruined her dream like that. A little horrifed to say that when Titus dreams he whimpers and twitches and I'm pretty certain he's dreaming of... rabbits.
ReplyDeleteAnd Winnie! Who couldn't love Winnie's studied lack of enthusiasm?
Titus - Anya was super cute yes, we miss her now she's gone... Yes Titus probably does dream of rabbits..
ReplyDeleteAnya was a beautiful bun Juliet! I know you must miss her.
ReplyDeletexx, shell
Anya was beautiful. She looks exactly like our Weuschel at the rescue. Almost twins. Some of the buns around here like the dandelions and some of them dont.
ReplyDeleteAs a kid I used to watch the wild rabbits eat clover and do their darndest to avoid dandelions. I used to wonder why they did that until I tried them both at about 8 years old. One was sweet, the other bitter.
ReplyDeleteAnya reminds me of Elvis at Eye of the Needle. Definitely some of that Zoey Lionhead!
ReplyDeleteI've never had a rabbit that didn't love dandelion greens.
ReplyDeleteSomehow this combination should become a children's book, Juliet. Dandelions and Rabbits just has a ring to it that invites further exploration!
ReplyDeleteI like the haiku. Nicely whimsical. I love rabbits and used to have one when I was a kid. Sadly, when one has greyhounds, rabbits are not an option, but this really brings back some memories.
