I have not gotten out to take any photos lately so I am thankful I can go to my old blog and find something for you. One of my favorites popped up, a bunny we found while on a road trip in September 2013. Meet Buffalo Bill Bunny. We found him in a quiet area of the garden when visiting the Buffalo Bill Center in Cody, Wyoming, which you can look at here.
Buffalo Bill Cody is famous worldwide. I remember my father telling me stories about him as a child. Dad was a big western fan and new all about Buffalo Bill's Wild West Tours in the UK, stories he had read when he was a young lad. That was the first time I had ever heard of this famous showman. You can read a biography at this link.
His namesake, Buffalo Bill Bunny wanted me to tell you "Howdy!"
He was a bit too busy to get into an in-depth conversation...
but told me he was very happy I had named him so auspiciously.
I couldn't interest him in any kind of conversation. That grass was just too tasty.
An addition to my post on Saturday, September 7th, 2024. There is another from this center that I published on Annie Oakley. She was a very popular performer at Buffalo Bill's Wild West Tours. You can see that post at this link.
Thanks for hopping by and
I hope your week has gone well.
Nice tale about the rabbit, Denise.

DeleteBuffalo Bill Bunny is so cute! I like how you captured him eating away. Appearing to paying no mind he definitely has his radar working. That's so neat that your Dad told you about Buffalo Bill Cody. Thank you for sharing this memory Denise. I hope you have a good Friday!
ReplyDeleteHe must have been used to a lot of people going back and forth. Didn't seem to mind me at all. Yes, I have good memories of Dad telling me about Buffalo Bill Cody. Glad you enjoyed it Martha Ellen, thank you :)
DeleteI love your penultimate photograph of Buffalo Bill Bunny with grass in his mouth.
ReplyDeleteThat's one of my favorites too Janice, thank you :)

ReplyDeleteThanks Ann and yes he was very cooperative :)

DeleteHello Buffalo Bill. He's a big fellow, Denise. That's interesting to hear that your dad was a big western fan and used to tell you stories. My dad loved John Wayne, and watched all this movies. You took some great photos of this guy.

Your dad and my dad had a lot in common Sheri. My dad loved watching all the John Wayne movies :) Thank you, it was nice seeing photos of this bunny again.
