"Hanging in there"
I really enjoy photographing racoons. They are one of the true acrobats of the wild kingdom.

It reminds me of that motivational poster with the kitten on a clothes line! Great catch!

Indeed, what a great catch!

What a cute catch! Raccoons are very amusing to watch, and I love their little masked faces. Really nice job :smile:

Fantastic Don, I saw one the other day way up in a cottonwood sticking his head out of a hole! I noticed in Costa Rica they would sleep up in the trees all bunched up together.

Excellent catch, did he fall or make it down gracefully?

I like the title and nice shot of a racoon in his/her environment.

That's a great moment you caught there!

That's a great catch Don, really like how you caught him with his head turned towards you!.

Thanks for the comments. Don, he did make it down without falling but it was nip and tuck for awhile. :smile:

Like the shot, Don. Hey, are the Big Horns still hanging at the Drake exit, off of Hwy 34?
