Taffy explored along the beach, where she found tracks galore. Not only from the golf cart, where the gang were picking up raking debris from the high water, abut also these tracks of Mr. Raccoon, out hunting. (Those are Taffy's toes on the right hand side, which give some scale to the raccoon's paws.) Raccoons have long delicate fingers on their front paws, the better to get into all sorts of mischief.
They are a pain in the **** if you don't lock up your garbage and bird feeders, but they are really just trying to get by, like all of us. Curious creatures, they get into all sorts of places where they don't really belong.
Nor are they above the occasional "photo bomb". This wonderful shot was captured on a friend's Game Camera last fall. We love it!
That is a great photobomb!
ReplyDeleteI remember watching one holding onto a beam at my parent's place with one paw, reaching over to the hummingbird feeder with the other, all so he could tip the thing far enough over so it would drain out. Then he went back down and licked up the sugar water.
