Good mood day on TE - NO POINTS PLEASE!

Here is my contribution to the 'Good Mood Day' as suggested by Marianne.

A hare and a wine bottle?! What on earth has a wine bottle to do there ?
We have since a few years tried to send away the voles from our garden by digging empty wine bottles here and there into the flower benches. More precisely the European Water Vole (Arvicola terrestris) is the species, which in some winters have made considerable damage to the plant roots in our yard. The wind, which is present most of the days is said to create a sound effect in the bottle, which the voles do not like. I'm not sure which shape of bottle is the best. It would require too many years and maybe also too many bottles of wine to drink in order to know it. :)))

This hare visited our garden in previous winter many times and always rested in the same place for a long time. Especially my wife was delighted to see it sit there so often. But when the spring arrived, she was not so happy to notice that the hare had eaten her best clematis vines and left the less valuable untouched. Is that what is called quality awareness? ;)

I shot this photo almost exactly one year ago through the window with a long focal length not to startle our guest.

Hi Lasse. The rabbit is the best symbol of survival, good cheer and optimism. He is sitting next to a bottle, is really very original. Regards, Wolfgang.

Hello Lasse,
I'll bet that hare is in a good mood, well I would be if I was sitting next to a bottle of wine.
Lovely shot, it makes me smile.
Thank you for your contribution to Good Mood Day.

Best wishes
Peter

Hi Lasse!
An all-over funny contribution! The hare really looks like being "hammered" by alcohol...
Well, the bottles - I think you should use only empty ones ... ;-))
Have a funny day!

Hei Lasse,
Both cute shot but also quite informative with the note. So it's not one of those city rabbits, used to wining and dining of finest herbs?!

Hello Lasse,
wow :))
Yes! I saw the bottle!!
My very first thought was: this guy had a very good time with alcohol and afterwards he dug the bottle into the snow to hide it from his "spying wife" LOL ;)
Kind regards,
have a very good day!

Hi Lasse,
It is funny to see this rabbit. It is like if he was trying to protect his treasure :-)))
Good idea!
Have a nice day, full of smiles!
Marianne

Hello Lasse,

Children and animals are sure winners to get most people in a good mood!
A few months ago I observed a hare outside myself, but it left at top speed and was never later seen...

Greetings,

Ciao dear Lasse,
very nice your guest! :-)
A pleasant photo accompanies from a funny note. I didn't know the ultrasounds method of the bottles! Thanks! :-)
Ciao, have a nice evening!

Bravo Lasse,

sei riuscito a trovare una foto carina e appropriata al tema: ci fa veramente sorridere e ci mette di buon umore: mi piace proprio! (:-)
(Io non ho nulla di adatto alla circostanza...)

Ciao,
Donato

Ciao Lasse,
davvero originale questa immagine.
Sembra che il coniglio non soffra minimamente il freddo, riposando tranquillamente sopra la neve.

TFS!
Francesco

Hello Lasse,

Animals can be much more clever than one could think about them: I'm sure it's a white wine bottle which is kept fresh in the snow !
Very funny indeed ! Congratulations.
Guy.

Hello Lasse,
A funny capture of this rabbit - wine connoisseur, does he go for red, or white? It is nice to have these guests, the bunnies in our neigbourhood have nearly disappeared. I think I would even allow them to eat my clematis if they came back :-)
TFS and have a nice Sunday,
Dasha

Kielia (24077) 2011-08-31 5:28

Hi Lasse,
to be or not to be that is the question!
I could not resist this one. Looking at this wonderful photo and reading your nice note makes even the most melancholic person happy again!
My compliments!
Warm regards
Harriet
