Bunnies are creatures of habit. Thus, you would think, the task of capturing a picture of Jemima's daily post-breakfast mega-stretch-and-yawn should be a trivial task. Not so. For, like electrons, bunnies are slaves to something called the Observer Effect. Simply put, this means that the simple act of observing a bunny is enough to alter it's course or behaviour. To see where a bunny is going you must look, but to look is to cause the bunny to go somewhere else. You get the idea.
In this case, point a camera at something that bunnies do every day and today it won't happen.
So, after many years of trying, I finally get the camera in the right place at the right time and out of sight, only to mess up the focusing and timing. D'oh. Next time...
Better luck next time!
ReplyDeletelooks like my bun she usually does a nice big stretch like this when I come home for lunch and she wakes up from her nap to greet me. Sometimes she even does the cat-style back arch!
