Description
Excuse me, coming through. Of course both of these baby raccoons have to be on top of each other. On the thinnest of limbs. Then the bough broke the baby did fall, and down came the babies, Maple tree and all! Speaking of baby, I cried like a baby until I found out they were ALIVE~ They were alive!" The little fellers knew they were in trouble. Their faces were priceless. I had very harsh light and dark light to try to shoot them in. My eyes are still killing me from squinting and trying to see if they were still up there!

Another huge smile image Kym - you know, no matter what the day brings to me, even bad news, discouraging news - regardless, all I need to do is visit your page and find one of these adorable raccoons with your wry humorous titles and I'm suddenly all smiles. I keep saying it, my friend...that is an immeasurable gift, particularly in these dark times. F/V
