Hey everybody,
Up in Arrowhead for the holiday, I caugt a racoon who was taking a nap in a tree just off the deck. He didn't seem bothered by the fact that I was about 5 feet away, actually he seemed irritated that I was disturbing his nap.:huh

    Good capture Ian. Hoped you stayed at a safe distance from that disease carrying pest.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Have you been keeping this one up at night by going through his garbage? :D Nice capture. I'm not a big fan of these garbage can rats. They are always getting in our garbage. Even with the straps on the cans. What eats racoons? :uhoh headscratch.gif:D

    Actually, I did disturb his nap repeatedly by making little clicking noises so that he'd look into the camera, so I guess I got a little payback:D :D
