Safe Space

This very young raccoon kept me in its view as I walked around the tree he was sitting in. The was the last of the siblings that were hanging around our yard for a couple of weeks last summer. This was the only one I saw climbing and I was surprised by how well it was able to get up the tree for how small it was.

To add to the adorable nature of this photo, if you look closely, you will a little dirt on the tip of its nose.  They would spend most of their time with their noses buried in the grass, hunting bugs and grubs and who knows what tiny raccoons eat.

You might be able to see the dirt better if you click on the photo.  A larger version will open in a new browser tab.
