Baby with Mom Raccoon Asleep

Baby with Mom Raccoon Asleep

Mama raccoon asleep atop the holly tree in our backyard, baby with one paw on mama. He's just spotted me at the open window here, so is a bit afraid. There were 2 babies with the mama atop the tree today, she had 3 before, not sure where the 3rd baby was today.

too bad the clematis vine tendrils are in the way, guess I could clone part of them out, but the baby's whiskers would be gone if I did much cloning.

Hi Cindy, good to see you here, and thanks for your kind comments. Know what you mean re being behind with everything! Am so far behind around here that soon will be "meeting myself at the other end", as the saying goes. I don't know where to start now, it's that bad :)

As always, your wildlife photos are a pleasure to view. This is another of your heart-warming shots that I love. Apologies for not commenting lately, am getting so behind on everything! ~PANIC~ :)

Hi Lorraine, no, this is a mama who has or had 3 babies (only saw 2 of them yesterday atop the tree with her.

The other little one, belonging to the blind mama raccoon, went missing over a week ago and hasn't been seen since. I don't know what became of the poor little fella/gal. Sad
