I was in the Yorkshire Dales to photograph a well-known erratic, and I had decided to fit my long lens for the shortish walk to my destination, just on the off chance there was some wildlife. Luckily for me, there was. I saw these two Hares coming towards me, they stopped and one decided to get a better view of what lay ahead, by standing on its hind legs. Unbeknown to the Hares, there was a Fox coming up behind them, and I thought there was going to be some action. But alas not, the Fox wasn't interested and trotted off in to the distance.

Somehow, this reminds me of "Alice in Wonderland"!!!

A lovely image of the classic Brown Hare in its 'what's up Doc' pose. (They remind me of a Kangaroo when they do this) Nice eye level view in sweet light, Peter.

Glad you put on that lens. Great shot of the hare having a look in matching-colored grasses. Nice side light.
