Nature & wildlife photos... Are you sick of / pictures yet?

These were taken yesterday, 2025-01-27, in my snow-covered yard in the middle of the . They're white-tailed jackrabbits.

#1 was shot through a railing with vertical supports, explaining the light/dark striping. I like the alternating it gives, really highlighting the detail of the eye that would otherwise be darker, and also the whiskers against the background. Any more-experienced care to comment on the here?

#2 is Not Amused at the presence of a human in "his" yard. If looks could kill.

A white-tailed jackrabbit (a kind of hare) is seen sitting in 1/4 view, with his head turned to the side so that one eye is fully visible. He has his white winter coat, with the dark markings on the ears and around the muzzle. The detail of the eye is quite easy to see because it is in one of the overexposed stripes of the picture (from shooting through a railing with vertical supports), revealing detail that would have otherwise been too dark. That eye appears to be pointing pretty much directly back at the photographer. He is keeping his eye on me. The background of the photo is completely blurred but darker, so individual white hairs sticking out from the hare's profile stand out clearly.
Photo of a white-tailed jackrabbit, a kind of hare. He is facing the camera in a mostly relaxed position, with ears folded back from the head, lying mostly in contact with the spine. He has his white winter coat, with brown markings along the length of the ears, and mottled brown around the eyes, the bridge of the nose/snout, and a little browning on the cheeks and lips. He is looking directly at the photographer. Their normal facial expression, such as it is, resembles disapproval (see "disapproving rabbits" as a meme), so this one appears to be Not Amused.
