Wow, that was a lot! Wish I had something written. Or time to write at the moment.
The rabbit shot is really good.
I always appreciate the links, Shannon, thank you!
Hey Shannon,
Yes it's me, your starstruck fan, Gary.
That bunny would be perfect for a blog hop.
I'm noting your links and especially Petronela's link. I'm thrilled for her and her recently published book. Like you, she a darned nice lady.
Be well, Shannon.
I'm going now....
Bunny pictures always brighten the day.
That's quite the contest galley! And it came with a free bunny. Thank you for both, Shannon, and I will go check out that piece on Writer Beware.
What a lovely linky round-up! Thanks for these. And, oh, my. Such an adorable bunny. There's something so inexpressibly pleasing about bunnies.
Wow that's a lot! If it reads like an echo, I think Alex said it too. :)
My cats, believe it or not, are my bunny wranglers. They bring me bunnies, babies, still alive that aren't mine that they find in the wild. We raise rabbits. Unfortunately, their training of "bring it to Momma alive" also includes birds, snakes, and lizards.
One such capture, but not kill was a Cottonmouth snake, 2-ft long and dropped on my foot. Want to see Jo jump up on a chair in a split second?
Oh BTW my blog today is linked back to you. You are my inspiration today.
We live in an area without rabbits. It's weird. No squirrels either.
Thanks for all those links! I'm going to check a couple of them out.
And there seem to be a lot of rabbits around here, too.
Hmm, I'll have to check a couple of these out - thanks! And omg, what a cute bun bun! We used have tons when I lived on Cape Cod but here in Maine I almost never see rabbits of any kind - except as pets.
Love the bunnies! We have so many hanging around this time of year.
Cute bunnies. I need to get back to crafting some short stories. Too busy with a novel in progress, blogging and work. \Jagoda
We have lots of bunnies here too, cottontails and jack rabbits. the babies are so adorable.
Great links, as always -- gracias!

Thanks for the links. Love the 'writer beware' one...we can't be too careful.
