Mono Monday: Week 473 ...

... narrow (or broad).

I had my mind set on achieving a narrow depth of field image today for the Mono Monday theme.  I took lots of pictures trying to get that perfect DOF image.  But then later in the afternoon R let me know that this Eastern cottontail was in the backyard.  Surprisingly I was able to get quite close to him/her and actually walked up to the deck as that offered the best view of him/her.  This main picture was shot between the narrow deck posts.  As was the Extra photo ... which I left in color so you can see how beautiful this bunny is. 

We got out at lunch for a quick walk at Housenick Memorial Park.  Another surprising sight today were the honey bees on the snowdrops!  Did not expect to see bees out this time of year! I guess the above normal temps are having an effect of all kinds of things.  I also saw my first ant of the year ... and, according to my late mother-in-law, that's a sure sign of an early Spring!  

Thank you to Pinkhairedlady for hosting Mono Monday this month.  And to Skeena for keeping the Mono Month Challenge going for it's ninth year!
