This little guys show up every evening in my yard. He politely nibbles the grass, and ignores my flowers. Quite often he will sit there for extended periods of time; I worry about him because of the hawks and eagles in the area. He is a sitting target for them--and for me, through the window. Look at those little ears; this is still a baby.
And this is hawkweed. Growing up in Michigan we always called it Indian Paintbrush, but the proper name is hawkweed. I love the bright orange color and the curls, and the way the petals are squared off and serrated. Isn't the creator an incredible designer? Even the small details are amazing.

I grew up in Michigan and never saw that beautiful plant before.
What an adorable little bunny! I have never seen a hawkweed before, it is very delicate and pretty!
Awww, what a cute bunny! I hope he can stay safe from the predators- especially since he is a NICE bunny who doesn't eat your flowers! Those orange blooms are AWESOME- those little curly tendrils and the scraggly petals make an unusual pair but it totally works! Plus the orange color is amazing!
Oh my goodness! What a sweet, sweet bunny. It looks like you were so close to him too. I love the vibrant oranges on the flower as well. So cool.
i remember hawkweed where i grew up. we called it indian paintbrush too. great shot!
Love those flowers and what a cute bunny! I hope the only one with their "eye" on him is you!
What a beautiful flower! They are amazing! And the bunny is so cute.... we have about 3 or so that live in our cul-de-sac. Alex thinks they are the best thing ever! :)
The hawkweed is gorgeous! Wonderful shots, both. My son will be loading up a uhaul this next weekend. . . wish I could help him, but he's 700 miles away:( The good news is that he'll be closer, only 300 miles away! :)
