Description

In summer coloration, obviously. The incredibly large burrow guarded by this rabbit, with the surrounding bare ground, reminded me of the scene in Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Deliberately processed for stark lighting. If only there were a few bones in the foreground to get full effect. Taken in early morning, Rocky Mountain National Wildlife Refuge, near Denver, Colorado.
Gary Holmes is an advanced amateur, opportunist photographer of nature, landscapes, abstract, and other found objects of interest. Although I have been a photographer for decades, I have only started posting them for others to see in the past 6 months. I have had sufficient encouragement from posts on other sites to try putting some up for sale on FAA. Please see my larger collection of posts at http://500px.com/holmesidepi. I plan to progressively start posting the best of those on FAA over the next few months.
If you love, like, respect, admire, or even feel somewhat favorably inclined toward any of my works, please vote, vote+fave, and/or offer gently constructive criticism or suggestions. Votes and faves are important to me and help me understand what other people like or don't like. Even negative comments will help me to learn as I continue to improve my work.
Of course, I will be overjoyed if you find something that inspires you to purchase it.
