Bunny and Chick in the Crocus Garden watercolor

A wild cottontail rabbit, on its way to munch in my crocus garden, has stopped to curiously check out this little chick. The fuzzy chick is just as interested.
Bunnies are so cute that I don't complain much when they nibble my flowers. There are at least two of them and they seem almost tame. When I walk by, they don't give me so much as a glance. Watching them munching weeds surrounded by birds at the feeders and the new chicks at the neighbor's house gave me the idea for this sweet little scene.

Carolina Wren checking out the Birdhouse - watercolor

A little Carolina Wren has found the birdhouse on the crabapple tree and is inspecting it as a suitable place for its nest.
