Today, we had an unexpected guest. At first, I heard the sound of claws going up the wall outside the house. I took a photo from the window, but the guest became shy, and ran off into the garden. I took my camera, and went over to photograph him from the deck
He was a little confused. He even tried to escape under the fence. However, he didn't quite calculate the proportions.
Pretty soon, he got a better idea.
Here, you can see what Canadian raccoons can do.
That is amazing, I never would have expected him to fit under that fence.
ReplyDeleteAh yes, nature's "masked bandit."
ReplyDeleteHope he doesn't cause much mischief in your yard.
(Great shots.)
So Canadian racoons can disguise themselves as pancakes and shove themselves under fences? Wow.
ReplyDeleteI've always loved the book Rascal by Sterling North. I read it often during trips to Dwight, Ontario when I was a kid, so hearing "Canada" and "racoons" in the same sentence brings back some fond memories.

ReplyDeleteAnd here I was thinking only mice could squeeze beneath and through impossible places. Your photos caught him in some pretty darling poses :-)
ReplyDeleteI have not seen any raccoon in my entire years of existence. But I do like raccoon eye make up. XD
ReplyDeleteGlad you caught them with your camera !
ReplyDeleteLovely guest...

О, это такой упитанный гость! И как он только сумел пролезть под забором?! :)
ReplyDeleteОля, а еноты прилично)) себя ведут, не шкодят?
Hello Olga:
ReplyDeleteClearly not just your family wish to move into your new house!. What an amazing feat for your furry intruder to manage to squash himself under the fence. He will return....no doubt about that!
He is lovely =)
ReplyDeleteA new tenant .. . escaped or got stuck?
ReplyDeletea kiss.
I always find some unusual photos on your blog. This raccoon squeezing under your fence is out of the ordinary for sure.
ReplyDeleteHello Olga,
ReplyDeleteamazing pictures!
I love animals.
A hug
He looks so mischievous! I'm slightly sorry we don't have raccoons here although everyone who does have them says what a pest they are!
ReplyDeleteOh they are very smart little buggers. We have so many of them and the city does nothing. So they come and destroy everything and have more babies.
ReplyDeleteIf you can catch them in a net or a cage it's the best thing to do and take them across a bridge so they can't
come back or give them to the zoo. They have a territory they stay in and make the circle rounds.They never leave their territory cause other coons will kill them in their territory.
Nice photos...
ReplyDeleteA cute guest like that would make my son happy.
Oh hahaha so cute!! :P
ReplyDeletelove the mad escape at the end!
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful photos!!!Congratulations!!!Kisses from Greece.
ReplyDeleteJust DO not feed them!
ReplyDeleteHa ha! My son had to entice one off of his back patio and had a good story to tell, but without the photos. Glad you had a camera.
ReplyDeleteHow absolutely adorable! Love this post!
ReplyDeleteThey are so pretty, but I am sure that they can be destructive and a pest. Great shots. Diane
ReplyDeleteOh man Olga! You can make me laugh. You captured this scene wonderfully. I felt that poor raccoons panic! Have a nice weekend.=)
ReplyDeleteHello Olga: the truth that I like your photos. The little animals are the most beautiful, as laas fruits that are felt tasty. A kiss from my Galicia Spain.
ReplyDeleteOh memories of Canada have wafted over the Atlantic with this post. I do love raccoons and their cute faces. Does the fact that your garden is the territory of a cat not put off the visitor?
ReplyDeleteПоследнее фото - просто супер. Жаль, что у нас еноты не водятся - уж очень они забавные.
