Lagomorph

I’ve just learned of the English name “lagomorphs” for all kinds of hare-like creatures (taxonomical order of Lagomorpha from the Greek lagos = hare and morphé = form). In German, they are called Hasenartige, i.e. hare-like or hare-kind.

I kind of love the word, in fact, it is my new favourite word.

Square 2 for the KindaSquare Challenge in October.

I’d rather be with the cow

Lots of action in Pick a Word this time.

Bavaria and her quadriga of lions – looking towards Munich or facing away, a volte-face, depending on your position.

A stork taking to the sky, soaring upwards and away.

Little Red Riding Hood revealing the real story of her wolf, a lunar or lunatic story.

But faced with this impregnable wall

I’d really rather join the cow, reposing on a bale of hay.

Linked to Thursday’s Special: Pick a Word.

No rest for the lagomorph

At the end of the day, I spotted this hare sitting laid-back yet with non-laid-back ears in a field near the baulk.

Then something startled it. It turned and fled. Gathering speed it doubled back and

next thing it was running at full pelt leaving me with barely a blurred photo.

Liked to the Ragtag Daily Prompt: Pelt.

A single splendid sun

Although I was looking forward to Becky’s Square Challenge returning in October I am kind of sad to see summer go. Let’s hold on to it a bit longer with photos of the warm and bright season!

This sunflower is a kind of sun – to sustain us, hopefully, through the darker months ahead.

And yes, the title is a reference to that wonderful novel by Khaled Hosseini A Thousand Splendid Suns.

Square 1 for the KindaSquare Challenge in October.

Remember: The photos don’t have to be square as long they are regular quadrilaterals, i.e. as long as they have four sides of equal length and four right angles.
