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.
This is my awake (awoke?) week. It seems I have used up all my awaken (awoken) photos this week already: my awake coffee mug, my cat waking me when it is still dark, even a sunrise somewhere. But I know (and the mirror confirms this) that I will never look as awake as this hare, alert, vigilant, sharp, and wired. I need something to awaken my morning bearing.

I saw this stork stalking through the cut off wheat stalks (oh my!) and grabbed my camera. If I noticed the two spots in the back to the left of him, I didn’t give them a second thought.
I got closer. Magnificent bird, I thought, totally focused on the stork.
I zoomed in. What a wonderful bird!
Only at home, when I had transferred the photos to my computer and saw them on the larger screen, I realised that those brown, indistinct lumps had ears.

The Long Patrol is a novel by Brian Jacques and part of the Redwall series. It is also the name of the specialized, elite army of hares that fight for good at the side of the creatures living in Redwall Abbey. This bright and alert fellow looks like he could well be part of those fierce fighters.

Obviously, the Easter bunny was checking if the coast (or rather the dining room) was clear.
