Description
Fullview to see everything that is going on.I always, always loved the movie "Watership Down". I know they all didn't die by bird, but the expression on that rabbits face reminded me of the animation in the movie.
If you haven't seen it, or read the book...

it could change a child view of nature.
and dang the expression on that rabbit's face looks like it came straight out of the movie (the part where the rabbits where screaming silently as they were buried alive)

Watership Down was a very good book, but when I was a kid I watched the animation and it scared me horribly. I don't know why, I guess it was the death in it. Hmm...
Anyway, someone mentioned you read the Redwall books in a comment earlier, you definitely should. ^.^ They are quite entertaining for people of all ages, great for kids too. I like Taggerung and Doomwyte, those are my favorites.
Great shot, I love how the feathers and the rabbit's fur are brought out.

I know, the animated movie scared me half to death. I don't see how it was a kids movie!

Eugh, it was past creepy. >.< I laugh at horror movies, but that... that was just frightening.

Awe I was worried somebody was going to ask me that.
I WANT to say, 'Oh you know. I chased down a falcon and snapped this picture whilst being invisible in the bushes while wearing a pine tree outfit...just all in a days work...' but I can't do that.
I was at the museum

See the movie! The book was good but the movie is easily comprehendable. I so spelled that wrong

If you liked 'Watership Down', which it's obvious
you did, then Brian Jaques 'Redwall' books are
right up your alley. Great reading, in very much
the same vein as Watership Down.
Here is a link to the site:

Ooo thanks a lot! I've heard of "Redwall" and was meaning to give it a closer look, thanks for reminding me
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It really is great stuff. I have all the books in the
series, and they're just wonderfully good. I think
you would enjoy them a great deal.

Excellent

Great! You might also like David Eddings' work,
as well as Terry Pratchett, too. Same kind of
whimsical humour, though not animal oriented,
but still good fantasy reading nonetheless.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, I DO love Terry Pratchett. I also like David Eddings, though I have not read much.
I think either of those suggestions would be preferable to what I am reading now. Danielle Steele. Good lord.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Danielle Steele? No offence, but...ugh. I guess
I am a dyed-in-the-wool fantasy reader, huge fan of
Terry Brooks as well, not to mention Tracy Hickman
& Margaret Weis (Dragonlance & Deathgate Cycle);
if you've not read any of their work, I would strongly
recommend you do. Very good stuff, though not as wry
as Eddings' work nor as funny as Pratchett's.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hah! None taken - I read whatever I haven't read yet in the house, and since I just finished reading everything else I own, I had to read something new or I'd go insane.
So, Danielle Steele it was. I'm not enjoying it, but I never put down a book once I pick it up, no matter how long it takes me to finish it...like Stephan King's book about celphones and how they turned people into zombies and wow it was stupid.
I think I'll hit a bookstore as soon as I can.
And yep, I've read TONS of Dragonlance and Deathgate. No worries there, I'm not that far out of the loop!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Glad to hear you're not out of the loop! Lots of
people I know have read Dragonlance, but you throw
Deathgate Cycle at them and they're lost. Oddly,
though, I've never been a huge King fan, aside from
the Dark Tower books, which I thought were amazing.
I even ended up getting the graphical novels that were
done of those. Not bad, but not great, either.
Have you read any of Piers Anthony's 'Incarnations'
series or his 'Xanth' books? Those are good, and if
you liked Dragonlance, you would probably like Raymond
Feist's 'Riftwar' series as well. Very similar.
- Cheers!

lol I LOVE Piers Anthony.
I just moved, so all my Piers books are still in storage, or I would have read "The Color of her Panties" again (I think that's the name) because it made me laugh, very good.
I'm not a Stephan King fan. I think he goes way too in depth for what it is. I don't want to read about the tarnish on a nickle for 11 pages, ty. IT, Pet Cemetary and Eyes of the Dragon are really where I draw the line...And I've never read the Dark Tower series (I get so many weird looks for that...)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
IMO, the Dark Tower series were the only things King
wrote I found even remotely readable. Otherwise, he's
like Dean Koontz - every book is the same.
Yep, 'The Color Of Her Panties' is dead on right. All
the books in the Xanth series are great, but I liked his
'Incarnations Of Immortality' books the best, I think.
There are seven, and they basically deal with Death,
War, Fate, Nature, Time, Good and Evil as 'jobs', for
which ordinary - or not-so-ordinary mortals - can be
chosen. Some riotous moments, but mostly, it made me
think:
What would I do if I controlled, say, time? What would
my responsibilities be and how would I uphold them?
Good stuff, and highly recommended.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Dean Koontz..yeah you're right about that, all the same, I never really paid attention before, but you're right. Maybe that's why I stopped reading him after two book (chuckle)
I thought it was The Color of her Panties. Good to know my memory isn't failing me yet
At least I'm not reading Danielle Steele any longer...(shiver)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Good for you! I don't think I have ever read more than
a couple pages from her stuff and hated it. Same goes
for V.C. Andrews, though I know she's very popular.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah, now there is an artist that I have every single book ever written by (or by others after her death).
I think my obsession with her goes back to when I started reading her when I was fairly young - and I couldn't shake it. Only the things SHE wrote were any good, the rest is trite crap, but I still can't stop reading it xD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I have a friend whose mom is an Andrews fan from way
back. As I understand it, she also has all her books,
including the posthumous work, as well. I never got
into them, I have to say, but then I am not much for
"shock & horror" stories. I have always been a Science
Fiction and Fantasy nut, I guess. My mom got me into
both when I was quite young...and I never stopped.
But it's cool that there are some authors you really
enjoy. More people should read. Not enough do. Not
nearly enough can.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I don't think I would classify any Andrews writing as 'shock and horror', I believe her first series of books was based off of events in her life, and then she only wrote a handful of others before she passed away. The only good books by her were, in reality, her first 4. At least, that's what I think, yet I can't stop myself from buying them...they have turned into more of a predictable 'girl gets into big personal trouble and is harassed but somehow she'll make it through because she has a unique name like 'STAR' or 'BUTTERFLY' and those girls never lose!' then anything...very much now one is the same as the last.
I am not so much for Science Fiction, but I'll always have a tender spot for fantasy. I remember curling up and actually accidentally cutting class in school because one of our teachers was a huge Forgotten Realms fan and they had a cardboard box of books in the library, I'd just grab one and sit in an overstuffed chair for hours and hours, reading. Nobody bothered me, you'd think they would have sent me on my way, no? hehe.
And you're right.
Not enough people read, at all. It's really very sad
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You're probably right about the predictable 'damsel
in distress' (or dat dress) feel to the work; I don't
know, myself, as I am not that familiar with it - but
what you say makes tons of sense to me. As with any
author, playwright, or musician, once you find the
magic formula, one tends to stick with it for as long
a it works.
I am a big fan of Bob Salvatore, btw. Forgotten Realms
is a neat little series, though Bob did kind of go
overboard with the Drizzt/Dark Elf books in the end.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah yes. I never did get into his later Drizzt works, because I thought (in my opinion) it could have stopped entirely after the trilogy (Sojourn, etc).
Every time I pick those up I'm totally filled with nostalgia
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I have to agree. He could have stopped at the trilogy
and it would have been fine with me.
The later books, in my opinion, were pretty much a big
disappointment. I see them as a continual milking of
the cash cow. It's sort of like Star Trek/Star Wars,
in that you can only save the world/universe so many
times or ways. After that it gets old.
And thank you for adding me to your watch!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You're welcome for the watch add. Anybody who has spent this much time talking t me about books deserves one
And yep, milked it for all it's worth. I see he has a new one out and honestly my desire to read it is about...zero.
I think the whole franchise died about about 2000, to be honest. They had a good run, Dragonlance and Forgotten Realms, but there is a time when you can't just rehash your favorite characters anymore, you need to go either on to new pastures or just stop entirely. Forgotten Realms was alright for that, there was enough variety to make different books and story lines, minus the Drizzt series, because they didn't really have any 'main' characters except for the ones Salvatore made, and spin offs of said characters. But Dragonlance was based on the same family lines and characters for pretty much it's entirety. There is only so many times Tasslehoff can go back in time!
I digress.
I'm sorry
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Dragonlance was even worse, really, because Hickman &
Weis couldn't leave well enough alone and dragged the
children of Caramon through the muck as well...and
Dalamar, one of my favourite characters, ended up a
bitter old elf who just wouldn't die. Stupid, if you
ask me...
And then Tas died...and lived...and died...and it never
seemed it was going to end...
Even Raistlin came back for cameos. Yeesh.
Sad, really.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It ended up being sad, yes, but they did have their hey-day.
It was entirely enjoyable reading up until that point. I just started to get confused after a while though, but the same applies for Wulfgar, all of his cameos started to confused me as well in Forgotten Realms. I started getting confused with all of that after the first set of books, actually.
But the same would apply to movies. I guess when you hit a cash cow you don't know when to stop

And now, because Hollyweird is out of ideas, they're
raping mivoes from long ago. They're even planning
a remake of True Grit, a John Wayne CLASSIC. AUGH!
As Linus said to Chrlie Brown:
"I love mankind - it's people I can't stand!"
Have a good day!

awesome photo! the rabbit's expression is really terrified...but in the movie, it looks more creepy I think...well, I saw it when I was 6...so maybe I'd think different today. anyway...I like the photo a lot
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I think everybody I talk to saw that movie when they were 6 or 7.
What the heck was wrong with our parents, that movie scared me half to death!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
OH WOW! I love both the book and the Movie! very powerful stories, and a very powerful photo you have here. The rabbit's face conveys such emotion, and the way that most of the eagle is out of frame, emphasizing it's size and power. All in all, Love this peice! :3
