Jackrabbit with Kokopelli

Jackrabbits are so interesting. I find their expressions to be quite human. They often remind me of a particular person. Kokopelli is the name of the flute-playing rabbit on the textured rock behind the rabbit.  His image is often found among petroglyphs on cliff walls and boulders throughout the southwestern US, sometimes as a human figure, but occasionally as a rabbit, bug or other animal.  Petroglyphs are images and symbols carved in stone. Kokopelli is said to be the "water bearer" or perhaps represent fertility. I see him as a mysterious wandering minstrel spreading joy.

Spotted Towhee

These beautifully colored, perky birds love to shuffle through leaf litter in the bushes just below my studio window. They move through the underbrush with a very distinctive and peculiar hopping (that is when they aren't flying.)
