Laurie ran into the house shouting “baby raccoons in the back yard”. Of course, I see a great possibility for photos. The two little critters were about the landscaping. I imagine the parents are the ones that sometimes clean out the feeder. I hope they can manage to survive.
About twenty years ago, a similar experience happened in the yard. However, the raccoon was bigger. I placed my hand towards the ‘coon to make it move for a photo when teeth entered my hand. Two weeks later the neighbor saw a sick one. Needless to say, I ended up in the hospital going through a series of rabies shots. A LESSON LEARNED!
Wow… Awesome photos and some super ideas for artwork! Sometimes we have to seek out nature… other times it seeks us out. We had a litter of baby skunks crawl out from under our sunroom a few years ago after their mother mysteriously died from multiple gunshot wounds and blunt force trama to the head. Boy… where they ever cute! Dana
