Cottontail in Spring, Michelle Kogan © 2020, watercolor and watercolor pencil.
Taking a brake from my bird focus to bring you this lovely cottontail I saw on my walk this morning, still had part of his/her winter coat on too…
OH BUNNY
Oh bunny
hiding between
Spring greens,
you’re no bird,
but oh so perfect
in oh so many ways.
Thanks for your
quiet,
momentary,
distraction…

Beautiful illustration and poem! A cottontail is always a nice distraction. So nice that saw one.
What a lovely distraction this is, Michelle, and it comes just in time for Easter. I hope you are doing well in Chicago. Stay safe.
Hi, Michelle. What a sweet bunny poem. They are a good distraction and so much fun to watch. (The way your bunny is hiding reminds me of Peter Rabbit!)
