THE CROSSING

Posting 3 of 4 in a SERIES of postings of a mother racoon and five kits crossing a creek to a sewer pipe on the other (west) side. I've numbered the kits #'s 1 to 5 with # 1 being the first to swim to the other side and the first to enter the sewer and # 5 being the last even though it was the second kit to arrive at the water's edge.

Note: See http://www.pbase.com/hankvv/image/163548854 for posting 1 of 4 in this SERIES, then "click" "PREVIOUS" "PREVIOUS etc. to see all four SERIES postings

Top Image: No. 1 kit is already inside the sewer, ahead of Mom whose tail is just visible. Kit # 2 is about to enter the sewer.


Kits #'s 3 and 4 hiding in the rocks on the west shore after having swam across the creek.


A happy reunion for Kit # 3 when Mom came back to check on what was keeping everyone..


Kit # 3 trying to get Mom's attention whilst # 4 wants in. But, where is kit # 5?

STAY TUNED for the final posting, 4 of 4.

The saga continues. Mum must be fed up with having to ride herd on 5 babies. You've captured this story perfectly.
