Mother Raccoon & baby

: Mother Raccoon & baby; took this today in our backyard. Note the Mother's hind feet on the lower branch and the front legs on upper branch! : ) A neighbour's dog had scared the mother and baby into the tree, so I ran indoors to get the camera. This seems to be a different mama than before, as there is no "notch" in the ears of this one, and she only has the one baby.; Created by: Alandrapal.; Tools Used: Sony cybershot DSC S 70; Created on: 8 July 2004; Image Views: 2,584; Average Views per Day: 1.3; Image Number: 1492

thanks Alan, glad you found it, it was one of my favourites for a long time. Now I can see it's not as sharp as the pics captured with my Canons. It's interesting how you don't notice this until later :)

thanks Mel, I was surprised to see a comment on this one, as you say, it's an older shot now and doesn't show up that often. Was happy to capture this one, a pretty scene. They visit our back yard each night.

What a wonderful photo, I see you took it some time ago now. An added bonus to have 2 raccoon's in the shot too. The baby looks so cuddley (I bit they're not though). Perfectly composed!
