While we were away in Florida, these two raccoons came creeping out of the darkness and took a few photos of themselves. Nikon D810 with Nikkor 17-35mm lens (at 17mm) ISO 500, f/14 at 1/160th of a second, Cognisys camera box, trail monitor and remote flashes.
I’ve been waiting years to say this: You gotta watch those typos, Sean.
(Fellow Blog Subscribers: I know this is not really funny, but I’m asking you to let me have this one. For a lot of reasons it would take too long to explain, this one is personal.)
The larger one (perhaps the mother) has been in a “tangle” at least once. Look at that ear. The street hardened “urban raccoons” here in Denver, are formattable creatures. I would pretty much take almost anything, flora and fauna-wise, over the “human virus”, however, when these type creatures (raccoons/squirrels/etc.) start acclimating, and even thriving, in amongst man they can become as bad, or even worse, than humanity itself.

Damn you Wittig. You got me. Typo fixed.

I think they’re about the same size, one is just much closer to my wide angle lens. These are country raccoons. Much different from you urban coons.
They are really cute—-until they find a home in your attic. They do not take kindly to eviction.
