Raccoons



My favorite raccoon. She showed up one day and looked in the window and I snapped this photo of her.

She lived under my shop and had four baby raccoons there and raised them up until she weaned them and then she sent them up and over our board fence for the last time.

She was a wonderful wild animal and I often think of her and her babies.

The four of them are shown in this photo. The mother was on the ground behind them and was coaxing them to go on over.

It was a whole new world for the baby raccoons and they were not so eager to leave the only home they had known.
