Out of nowhere when we wandered the lovely property of Coolart, a rabbit suddenly appeared and just as suddenly disappeared!

A love of wild life
Photos need patience and speed
Paradoxical

I measure out my life with haiku. My camera films my soul. ~ Gemma Wiseman
AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

I have been enjoying your posts and photos
I love the haiku form
and the challenge of it
very nice
Great pictures (rabbits are my totem). Your haikus are just wonderful -- this is a difficult challente.
Paradoxical, yes!
Because I don't have much patience, my shots come out blurred and a failure oftentimes!
Your haiku taught me a lesson to become a better photographer...:)
That's what they say.. strike at the right moment..very well written haiku..a good message there..
The photo is stunning
The haiku matches
Yes - now I know why I'm such a poor photographer!
Really paradoxical. Nice!
Patience is well rewarded with this great shot that you have today!!
A clever and interesting interpretation.
Very nice picture. A measure of patience,speed and luck!
Hank
A great haiku.
Patience and speed - opposites that can live happily together.
SOOOOO true ... a nanosecond can make a difference!!! :-)
This is true. Patience is required in most actions of live. Wonderful picture and Haiku.
Melanie
Patience is vital for a wildlife photographer I think :)
And what would life be without a little paradox? Boring, methinks!
paradoxical but so true
Such truth in this one; I find it especially applicable to photographing butterflies. :)
