  I have been trying recently to get a good photo of Zou in action !
  
  She has become a bit bonkers these last few days and flies between her two ‘safe’ rugs (tiles are slippery!) like an excited kangaroo!! And then she’s SO happy and tired, that she does MEGA dead-bunny flops almost rolling 360°, just like a fighting crocodile!
  
  So I’ve been trying to get photos…. trying !
  
  Here are the results. You can see when she lands she has her head already turned to “oink” at me !
  
  Many are out of focus as autofocus just doesn’t kick it fast enough so close to the subject. And of course the lighting was all wrong. So I left it manually focused with the rough distance. One of her face on a taking off photo is pretty well focused. The rest? Well all a blur !! LOL
  
  This from almost a sitting position. Piece of cake !
  
  This next one : The intensity in her face !! She’s jumping into white rapids to save her beloved one from certain death !!
  
  (My mistake, it’s just to give me an ‘oink’, up close !!)
  
  Next, she’s saying “I’m freeeeee” (If she were painted in rainbow colours – she could BE a rainbow !!… with ears )
  
  So come on, post yours too – i’m sure there are funny ones out there !

  Amazing! I WISH I could capture pictures like this. I’d have to be taking photos 24/7. And somehow Jack knows when I’m trying to get a shot and he promptly makes it more difficult for me. He’ll never have a career as a jumping model. Sigh…

  Believe me, MANY missed shots (I thought a bunny just jumped but I can only see one furry toe sticking out the corner of the photo!!).
  I was quicker than her (give her a nibble to slow her down as you run to the landing side) and aim blindly (no time to put eye behind the viewer) and hope for the best…

  Butters, that not a simple jump, thats a triple back twisted side binky movement !!!! Brill !
  And I had a slightly easier target as I knew she was going to jump from one lily pad to the other !

  Zou looks amazing, think I only now see her in all of her glory. Don’t know why but she reminds me of queen Elizabeth I for some reason.
  
  ButtersBear that is an awesome photo and awesome bunny performing an awesome binky.
  P.S. Shadow is pretty awesome too.

  Vienna, yes, it IS a “triple back twisted side binky movement”! I was very excited to catch it on video. Thanks for the great comments, everyone! Looking forward to more action shots of Zou and otheres!

  Well done, well done ButtersBear too, my Olly likes to try and take my camera phone off me when I take pictures, our friend will be here next week he is a photographer, we’ll see if we can get some good pictures of Olly, I did take a picture of Olly throwing a binky once, so blurred, I sent it to someone asking what it was, it ended up on their ghost website, he was trying to say it was a ghost.
