#demille — Public Fediverse posts

Last one for today.

I don't know if this one is a he or a she, but the arresting dark patch around the mouth reminds me of #lipstick, so she it is. She looks like she's about to say "I'm ready for my #closeup, Mr. DeMille."

This is a white-tailed jackrabbit, or "jack" as they are sometimes known here, in the prairies of #Saskatchewan, #Canada. Despite the name, it is a species of #hare rather than #rabbit. She is sitting in a snow bank that has piled up atop a raised-bed garden in my backyard.

The man replied,
"From an olive tree."

After a pause, Cecil said,
"I don't suppose I'm in a position to say this is not an olive branch."

"No sir," said the man... and the scene went on.
