Some Black-tailed Jackrabbits, Lepus californicus, call the Mendonoma coast their home. Jon Loveless managed to get this great photo of one who momentarily posed for him in a meadow, with the sun shining through his or her big ears.

They are also called American Dessert Hares. They mostly eat shrubs and grasses.

Thanks to Jon for allowing me to share his photo with you here.

It was much cooler this morning, but the afternoon was warm with some pretty strong winds. There are some clouds overhead, adding interest to the oh-so-blue sky.
