Uploaded by: Denalidaze — Wednesday April 18, 2012 — St Augustine, FL

We went out to eat at a local restaurant, "Creekside", which offered a view of the marsh. A family of raccoons made a visit below the the decking to search for food. As you can see this young mother was eager to receive any scraps.

catilac,
Thanks so much for your comment. I searched through many of the pictures to find one that showed the hands clearly. I, too, am facinated with the use of their feet/hands, which are almost human-like. The hand/paw on the left shows the shape of their claws.

Oh, what a cute little mom she is! You did
catch those hands beautifully. Looking at her
face, I'm sure I would have thrown her a scrap,
but I hope she and her relatives stay out of
our orchard this year. They can do some damage!
This is a really wonderful shot and is very
deserving of the Blue frame! Congratulations!

Thank you readers for your WONDERFUL comments!!! I will confess that I did feed them some bread sticks and a few shrimp (alone with many of the other people). I was surprised to see that they did not dip the food into water before they ate it. I know they can be a pest in some areas, but they certaily put on a show for the dinner guests.
Also, a big THANKS to the approvers for giving me the pretty purple frame.

Went back to see the raccoons last evening, but the light was too poor for good pictures.

Adorable! All the ones around here are shy or mean and only want to eat my chickens so we trap them for relocation.

I totally understand! I used to live on a farm and remember the problems we had with their cousins. I still have many friends that go out hunting for them. We had 20,000 chickens, but we had a greater problem with the weasels.

About Denalidaze
Denalidaze I have loved photography since I was quite young. My mother had an old box camera and I was always excited to see the magical pictures when she had them developed. She mailed them off and I would check the mail each day to see if they had returned. As I grew, the cameras in my life also grew. My husband and I love to travel. During our 44 years of marriage, we have never bought each other Christmas, birthday, or anniversary presents. Travel each year was our gift to the other. Of course with travel comes pictures. I have been to 47 states and many foreign countries. On our first trip to Europe, we purchased a 35 mm Canon camera in Germany. I Took MANY picture and slides. I used a lot of my photographs in the classroom (30 years) and brought the wonders of the world to my students. My first digital camera was a Sony Mavica. Wow, digital discovery was like eating food with no calories. What a way to celebrate life! On our visits to Alaska, it is not unusual for me to take 60 GB of pictures. Now, I seldom leave the house without my camera. Yes, I have loads of pictures, but I am always looking for more pictures to take, and ways to improve my skills.Create your own visitor map free counter for your website
