Tribble! (aka Cole) 🧡
A ginger rabbit (Cole) as seen from behind. He's sitting on some grass, and his head cannot be seen, so he looks like a tribble - round and fluffy with only his little white tail to show that he's actually a bunny.

Lola is not impressed with Mama interrupting her stick chomping for a photo.
A close-up of the front of Lola's face (grey, lop-earred rabbit for anyone new). She has a partially chewed apple tree stick at her feet and is looking like she's about to nose the camera.

Miss Margot is getting quite floofy...
A little black lop-earred rabbit with a white right arm is sitting in a hay-strewn gravelled garden. She has little tufts of fur looking ready to fall out all over her backside as a precursor to the spring seasonal moult. She's so looking thoroughly unimpressed because Mama was just trying to help remove the loose fluff, and she doesn't like being touched that much.

Mr Cole is obsessed with our pile of apple sticks. Nom!
Cole, everyone's favourite ginger and white lop-earred rabbit, is seen from above as he gleefully chomps on a pile of apple tree cuttings a very kind co-worker gave to Mama.

A thoroughly unimpressed Lola 😂
A grey lop-earred rabbit with beautiful brown eyes and a quintessential fluffy white tail called Lola (the rabbit, not the tail...) is sitting eating some hay. Her expression conveys annoyance or possibly exasperation at her Mama sticking a camera in her face yet again...

Margot bravely venturing into the back lane! Mama's so proud. 🥰
Margot, our favourite black and white lop-earred rabbit, is standing on some grass, which is just outside the back gate of the garden. She looks a little surprised that she's there...

Can I eat this yet? - Cole
Cole, the cubby, ginger and white lop-earred rabbit with a bottomless stomach, is sitting in a large plant pot containing a rose bush. The bush is bare because it's still winter-ish, but he's sniffing it hopefully. There is also a little statue of a rabbit in the pot with Cole because this is Snowy's memorial rose. She was Cole's wifebun, but we lost her three years ago. Mama still misses her...

Fresh grass - the one sure way to get the family to sit still for a photo. 😂🥰
Three lop-earred rabbits sit munching on a pile of fresh grass that's in front of them. Cole (ginger with a white streak on his face) is on the left, Lola (grey) is in the middle, and Margot (black and white) is on the right with her head up and several blades of grass sticking out of her mouth. The adorableness is impossible to describe.

Margot being as cure as ever 🥰
Margot, a black lop-earred rabbit with only little hints of white showing when seen from her left side, sits like she's about to sprint. She's been doing a lot of zoomies lately...

Miss Lola deciding if she wants to go play in Mama's house today. (THE answer is usually 'yes'...)
Lola, who you likely know by now is a grey lop-earred rabbit if you've been tuning in here, is seen from behind looking cautiously down the garden stairs. From this angle, you can see her perfect bunny tail, which is big, white, and very fluffy. And adorable. Did we mention adorable?

Mr Cole enjoying an apple twig the buns all got for Margot and Lola's birthday yesterday.
A closup of a lop-earred rabbit, Cole, chewing the end of a twig. Cole is a ginger boy with a wide, white blaze on his face, a bit of a dewlap (because he's a bit chonky, despite Mama's efforts), and a white right shoulder. The white on the shoulder kind of fades across his chest, rather than being a stark change in colour like it is on his face.

Hoppy birthday to Lola and Margot! Mama's girls are 5 years old today! 🥳🥰
Two lop-earred rabbits are sitting in a wooden playhouse amongst a large pile of hay. Lola (left) is grey and has her right ear perked. Margot (left) is black with a little peak of her white patch showing above the hay she's sitting on.

A certain Mr Cole insisted on being served fresh grass. Which is only in the lane behind our house.
Cole, a ginger and white lop-earred rabbit, sits amongst some fresh, green grass in front of a brick wall. Mama Bun would love to give her kids fresh grass all the time, but sadly, she has to rent because, despite making good money, she can't build up any appreciable savings, and she isn't allowed to plant anything while renting. We do have a large grass 'tray' but it's covered right now because the neighbourhood cats keep pooing in it...

Margot doesn't seem to have gotten the hang of sitting in flowerpots...
Margot, a black and white lop-earred rabbit whose description you're probably sick of by now, is in a large plant pot which half of her butt sticking out over the edge, even though the pot is more than big enough to accommodate her. I mean, really, baby doll, I know we've gotten a little chonky this winter, but you're not that big!

Lola loves her apple twigs
Lola, a grey lop-earred rabbit with beautiful brown eyes, gingerly chews a twig from an apple tree.

The three amigos 🥰
A trio of lop-earred rabbits playing in a hay-strewn garden. Lola (grey) stands facing the camera with her ears perked. To the right and slightly behind her is Margot (black), who is reaching to get at some grass in the plant pot next to her. Meanwhile, Cole (ginger) is trying to also get at the plant pot and is jostling with Margot's right shoulder.

Helicopter ears!
Margot sits with her back to the camera. She's a lop-earred rabbit who looks completely black from the back but actually has some white patches on her front and her nose. Her left ear is cocked, listening for something her Mama can't hear, making her ears look a bit like helicopter blades.

Always looking for food, this one... 😅
A lop-earred rabbit is seen from above. He is clearly hunting for something tasty to eat, even though he has uninterrupted access to hay. He's ginger coloured with a white triangle on the front of his face/head, and a white shoulder that looks like a near-horizontal stripe across his back, tapering off on the right.

Miss Lola's closeup! 🥰
A close shot of Lola, a grey lop-earred rabbit with little white patches on her front feet. She's actually a 'blue tortoiseshell,' and up close, you can start seeing the flecks of copper in her fur. She's sitting with her head slightly turned to the left, and her ears perked. Not the first time she's heard something Mama can't...

Our bunny crop is starting to sprout!
A black lop-earred rabbit with an artful splash of white on her front sits in a large flowerpot that is home to our crabapple tree. She's facing the camera and looks like she's eyeing the pruned rose bush that's starting to produce shoots of new growth like it's lunch.

Someone's excited about our new forage box 😅
Cole, a ginger and white lop-earred rabbit, sits with his head firmly hidden inside a cardboard box of hay containing lots of very tasty things. He's the foodie of the fluffle...

Lola joined Mama on the bench 🥰
A grey lop-earred rabbit, Lola, viewed from the back, standing on a teal blanket on a garden bench that has seen better days. Mama always loves it when the buns hop up next to her, but she's not kidding herself... they're always just looking for something to eat.

Little Miss Margot ❤️
The lop-earred rabbit, Margot, sits on top of a large plant pot that has a broken edge on one side. She is black with a little white tip on her nose, and a white right arm with the white patch extending to the middle of her chest. There are a number of other things around her because Mama's not great about keeping the garden tidy in the winter, but they're inconsequential because Margot is too adorable to pay attention to anything else.

Grass!!!!
Three lop-earred rabbits eagerly hoover up some fresh grass their Mama has picked for them from the lane behind their house. Lola (grey) is reaching across the front of Cole (ginger with a wide white blaze on his face) trying to get at some grass that's by Margot's feet (black bun with a little white tip on her nose) who is sitting on the right with a blade of grass in her mouth.
