It happens gradually.... sometimes parts of them are white and parts are a lovely soft brown.. You can't see them at all when there is a blanket of snow on the ground..which around here is a looooong time .... ...perfect camouflage. They pop out of a snow bank and race along our snowy roads at breakneck pace ... sometimes right beside the car! they scare the daylights out of you if you are driving, darting all over the place. But, if they sit still.... you never know they are about at all.... just another lump of snow in a snowy field... or on our lawn, or over on the snowy golf course.... where a lot of them live....BumbleVeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13272892605379537233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13313028.post-88020911615950502032011-12-07T14:30:41.171+00:002011-12-07T14:30:41.171+00:00That's an amazing shot of the hares, you must ...That's an amazing shot of the hares, you must have been quite close to them to capture that!

Wonder if it's also true of rabbits; most of the wild ones around here are the same greyish-brown color as the soil.
