Oh, for cute*

 A recent morning on my regrettably shabby front lawn:

I kept creeping closer and closer, taking pictures at a range that surely must have suggested to baby bunny the possiblilty of a sudden swoop on my part.  It just sat there until I finally gave it a few words of sage advice and an emphatic "Shoo!".

I figured this is the kind of critter that must just maximize its cuteness and hope for the best.

Or is it?

"Sure, they're cute now..."

*the prefix "oh for..." seems to be specific to rural areas of Minnesota.  My grandmother used to say this a lot.
