Night Critters

In the spirit of yesterdays post,
since there were so many comments about 
what goes on while we sleep...



I remembered this photo that I posted way back when.
They are a busy lot at night.

As far as the Possum is concerned, I actually think they are nasty little things. 
Very smelly if they decide to take up residence close by.

I will be trying to catch a shot of the local raccoon though. 
He is stealthy and about the size of a small Volkswagen.

  4. Raccoons are scary (rabies!) and do get gigantic. I hate it when they've come around the trash cans, they are pretty adept at removing lids of metal ones, not latched like the plastic ones, and I had one feeding nightly from a large bird feeder some years back. A neighbor had a pair in their attic along with babies - a big and expensive job to have them removed!

    Happy tomorrow - well happy every day actually my dear!

  5. I love that snow reveals everything. They definitely are an active lot. It's actually great that they are busy at night. During the day, they'd face human traffic. Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving tomorrow. All my best! Chris

  6. They created a lovely pattern of tracks in the snow. Enjoyed this very much.

  7. Busy indeed! They sure get lots of exercise! :) I have seen some pretty big, chunky raccoons also. And I've seen them wash their 'hands' in our backyard koi pond.

  8. A lot of you were "guests" at night in the garden, you can see the traces. Regards.
