If you've read my blog rencently, you'll see this was a series of images I took of a very confiding hare last weekend.

I probably would have binned it as the Hare wasn't quite looking round enough when he was stretching, but as I noticed he'd stuck his tongue out when I came to review my images, I thought I'd process and post it out of interest :wink:

FF & HH (i.e., resting on a beanbag on the door of my 4x4)

Was it warm weather Graham or had he been running for a wee while? We see them on the grouse moors stopping for a breather with their tongue out, similar to panting dogs, (or 'keepers)

I love it when they stretch, usually it means they are about to do something interesting after a period of rest. I have seen them poke their tongues out before. I have no idea why they do it, I wonder if it is a message to the photographer? :biggrin:
