This is not me. This is my Japanese doppelganger Yuebing, miniature successor to the famed pancake rabbit Oolong.
I wish I were Yuebing. While I languish in confinement all day, Yuebing gets to run around outside and hop in the snow.
Of course, Yuebing is also a bit of a sap--she plays outside, then comes right back inside like a good rabbit. Sucker.
If I ever manage to get out of the Bunny Lounge, I will instantly escape into a nearby field and become a free, wild bun.

Today David Bodavid's list of fave sites got me thinking about my own. Between that and David's kitty cakes tribute to everyone's favorite pancake rabbit, I wasted half the morning either nostalgically clicking around in Oolong and Yuebing's photo archives or fighting the urge to sneak off to Waffle & Steak for a quick short stack.
Oolong and his successor Yuebing are my heroes. I think I re-visit them at least once a month. What I love about their sites:
1. Cutest bunnies anywhere. Period.
2. The photographer adores his subjects, and they clearly love him right back. The chemistry is palpable in every photo (even the ones that are a bit out of focus). In fact the photos are more a record of the relationship between rabbit and human companion than simple portraits of the bunnies themselves.
3. Fluffy "head performance" artists in training!
4. The captions. "Around there is much meal" -- as Yuebing romps in a spring meadow. Priceless.
5. These sweet bunnies actually seem to like being photographed outdoors--they don't run away. If I put Indy down on a snowbank and picked up my camera, she'd be off like a rocket and wouldn't look back. I'd be lucky if she bothered to flick me first and we would never see her again. It's not that Indy doesn't like her home with us; it's just that in her heart she will always be an explorabun. The call of the wild cottontail is too strong.
6. Who doesn't love a sweet rice cake? Who doesn't love a sweet rice cake tenderly positioned on a bunny's forehead? Cute furry animal fetish + yummy food fetish = total bliss.
