Raccoon!

Post by nanny_56 »

I have never been able to get a photo of our late night visitors before. But last I was able to get a few of this one. I believe it is a pregnant female. It did not seem to frightened of me and I was able to get within about 5-6 ft. of it.

:lol: :lol: :lol: Sorry, Claudia...I know you're all grown up now... :lol: :lol: But when I read you were within 5-6' I kinda freaked! I've seen what those things can do, and how fast they can do it! They are also the #1 carrier of rabies around here, so if they don't run from you, that would concern me, too! :roll: That's what that 18x optical zoom is for! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I do get the 'sacrificing your body for the perfect shot' though!!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
