Racoons on my Deck – part 1

After returning from a trip, we were surprised to find a mother raccoon on our deck. We knew she was a mom because she had six adorable baby raccoons with her.  They were tiny bundles of fur and very cute. 

 I proceeded to take many photos and enjoyed the frolicking raccoons for many weeks thereafter, all the while thinking they might become the subject of a raccoon painting.

We got to know the different raccoons after a while and saw that each one was unique and had different personalities.

 The babies were very trusting and would come up to the French door and press their nose to the glass.  I had a plastic dish pan that had water in it.  It was hilarious to watch the babies all try to fit in at once.
