This is a momma raccoon that came for dinner every evening for many years. She trained and raised her babies, on my deck and in the trees surrounding it....bringing them in, two at a time, and a week apart, as she always had six each Spring. By late Spring the youngsters would climb all over me when I sat on the deck floor, while she sat just a foot or two away. watching their every move.

What a sweet shot, and well titled. I loved the story, she must have been pretty healthy, and stayed safe for those many years. What a wonderful experience. Tigs♥ =^..^=

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life and so is my love of photography. sandi ♪ ♫
She looks like she is making a peace offering to you Doug.
Sounds like she provided you with much entertainment.
Good portrait.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.
Interesting piece about your little friends and cute shot of momma thanking you.

Beautiful portrait and story, Doug.
When we were kids my Father found some baby racoons standing on the edge of the road. The Mother was dead having been hit by a car .
So he put the babies in the truck and brought them home. We "raised " them so to speak with the help of a friend who was a Vet. There was a small one that we didn't feel could survive in the wild so we kept him. His name was Fitzgerald he was a great pet . I feel wild animals should not be kept as pets but in this case he would have never survived . He lived to a good old age and had a good life . We kids loved him !

I would travel only by horse, if I had the choice. ~ Linda McCartney ~
Never knew that racoons can become so tame. Excellent capture of mama coon with great clarity.

Oh, this is so cute ... she is offering to share her marshallow with you. The little ones can be so curious & playful. Wonderful capture, Doug.

Excellent shot, Doug! I too have a critter that comes around every evening, always too dark to get a good shot. You did great with this one. I have forbid my kids to get too close or feed him. Teaching coons to trust humans isn't in their best interest in these parts.

If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn't need to lug around a camera. ~Lewis Hine The Earth without art is just 'eh'.
Her relatives have decided to homestead my porch. She and her babies has a craving for cat food. This one has a great expression. Looks like she's smiling.
