My weekend getaway with Mrs. Thunderer!

Great pics Fred. Looks like you had a great time. I'm one of those people that answer questions that haven't been asked. The rabbit was a cottontail. The duck was a blue wing teal.
 
Thanks, Wade... for the comment AND the answers. I'm just surprised that you didn't "elaborate" on your answers a little... LOL.
 
In appearance the cottontail rabbit closely resemble the wild European Rabbit. Their tail has a white underside that shows when they are running away, giving them their name. Cottontail rabbits belong to the genus Sylvilagus.

Cottontails can be found through out North Central and South America. They will build a nest, usually in a burrow, and give birth to altricial young, meaning they are helpless at birth, born hairless with eyes closed.

Jack Rabbits on the other hand belong to the genus Lepus. They are true hares and not rabbits. They are primarily desert dwellers. The mother will find a spot to her liking and give birth to her young under a bush. They are fully furred with their eyes open at birth. They will then travel with the mother.

The easiest distinguishing factors are that Jack Rabbits have long pointed ears with black tips. The Cottontail’s ears are shorter and rounded. Jack Rabbits have very long hind legs. When they stand up their head is lower than their hindquarters. The Jack Rabbit has a divided upper lip which the cottontail does not.
 
Awesome Fred.... The exit sign on the floor is for when you have to crawl out of the room to find more drinks..lol The only real reason I can think of is if there was a fire and the smoke filled the hallway. if you get low and crawl, not as much smoke.....Thanks tons for sharing
 
Looks like you both had an awesome time! And you are so cute together! Thanks for sharing pictures! I love the ducks!
 
Great pics Fred!!!! :D

Looks like you guys had a great time and you make a really sweet looking couple! And thank you for sharing the "Fred being silly pics", I wouldn't have expected anything less, they made me giggle ;)
 
Great pics, and I'm glad you had such a relaxing getaway. The exit sign is kind of funny... My thought would be that it's there so people can find their way out of a smoke filled hall, if they're crawling their way out.
