A tribute to the magnificent Woodland Creature that this wild raccon undoubtedly once was.

However, the photo itself is a sad side of Nature. When I spotted him in the woods, I immediately felt that something was not right with the raccoon. It soon became apparent that he was very weak and probably had only a few hours left. Shortly after I took this shot, the poor little one lay down on his side and was unable to even lift his head. It was heart breaking to see. However, he won't be forgotten.
