Captured the Masked Bandit this morning (2017, 10-11) while having our coffee. This is a close up of Momma, the younger one was in the backyard. I chased her off the deck with a broom and she ran up this tree within a few feet from me, but wasn't happy & hissed/growled at me. She wanted to get to the peanuts I put out for the Blue Jays, Squirrels and Chippie.

Just brought out more detail, just loved that face and the gleam in the eyes and shiny nose.

Will try and do some commenting today, have almost 250 to look at. May not comment on all, but will look at everyone of them. Just finished our last competition in Blaine Minnesota US then I'm off to my sister-in-law's for 2 weeks.

Thank You for your Patience, Friendship plus Comments most Welcomed in Advance.

Have a Great Day, ♥ Skates ♥

I wish I was a Glow Worm, a Glow Worm's never glum, 'cause how can you be grumpy, when the sun shines out your bum?

You get to see all the critters that come to visit while having your coffee Pat - very cool - Momma is so cute - Great Capture - wonder if she ever came back later to see if those peanuts were still available - have a great trip and visit with your sister-in-law.

For a grumpy mama, she sure looks sweet. Probably trying to get her way with the puppy-eye routine.

A very unique and (sometimes) delightful denizen of the woods, Pat (one of my favorites since reading Sterling North's "Rascal", as a boy). While you have to feel for her concerning the peanuts, you also have to consider what a nuisance they can be once they realize a regular food source, like your deck. After your deck they'd be migrating to your trash cans (and they're adept at getting into them). Terrific capture of her. Did you get any of the kits?

If you've ever wanted to make a difference but found it hard to believe that one person could... check out the Kiva Team Caedes discussion thread and discover that anything is possible.

This is great Pat. We sometimes have these little bandits raiding the cat food. I have seen a whole family of them on the porch. I chased them off with a broom but the little ones scampered up a tree. When the parents realized what they did they nervously called to them to come to them. Eventually they united and disappeared into the forest. Good clear capture.

Life's moments are sweet. I just want to capture all that I can of them.

Very well timed photo with nice and clear details. She will keep coming again I am sure and will also drive the birds away

My comment can be very short this time, Pat: a precious shot, perfectly taken by you.
S+F instantly. Thanks, my friend!

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB

Sorry for lack of comments, I still do part-time studies with students.

I like the cheeky look on this face, well photographed
