TITC - NEW - ONE OF MY NEW LITTLE BUDDY'S

Fort Worth, Trinity Park, TX

Went to the park at lunch and saw some feral cats and got out to shoot a couple of pictures and when I did, all these raccoons started coming out of the woods. This was one of 21 that came out. Guess they thought I was going to feed them. So, this picture is one of my NEW little buddies. One out of 21! I think I'll call him Rodney. I'll be heading out there again soon.

"He" is cute but be careful, then can carry rabies.
Karen Stuebing05-Sep-2009 16:27
He's a cutie. Love those blue eyes. I wouldn't be able to tell them apart so I'd have to name them all Rodney. :)

How lovely to have the trust of a wild creature, wonderful shot Cindi!

Careful Cindi, pretty soon they'll all be following you home
like the Pied Piper!

Wow, that's quite a close up. I hope the raccoon knows you well enough to realize how sweet and nice you are. Personally, I don't care for them.

Great shot of Rodney. He looks a little sad or maybe he's just disappointed you didn't bring dinner.

So pretty! I was so sad, last night, 11:30 PM, I ran over a possum on the way home, all I could think was that she could be a mommy with babies to feed. I'm sorry.
sue anne03-Sep-2009 15:27
Wow good capture and he looks like he is going to your new buddy. Thought they mostly come out at night.

Adorable shot. But be careful!
Ed Preston03-Sep-2009 13:44
We trap 'em up in this neck of the woods as they eat our garden down to the stems! But they sure are cute, just remember, they are wild and nasty if angered, please be careful!
