I'm a Wee Bit Shy at First ... by Weezilou

I'm a Wee Bit Shy at First ...

,,,yes, I live in their midst! Until a few days ago, this little fellow was nameless to us, but grandson, Dylan, called him "Bandit" and, since coming to know him better, it's a hugely appropriate name! We may get to that in the days ahead, but on these first encounters, we were getting to know one another. Cute as ever, they are...

(Yes, they like Marshmallow treats as well!)
What a shot! He looks like a real rascal!

@allie912 I didn't see it coming at the time, but you nailed it! He's the rascal in the group...and a huge mess-maker...but he does make us laugh!

Oh no he looks like trouble!

Are they not a fighting animal? Those claws look frightening!

What a GREAT capture of this little guy. Do't often see shots lie this on 365. Well done! Are you back here in CA now?? Thought you were staying in NS through October or so.....

@aglennc My backyard in California is not the ONLY place one sees raccoons! We won't be back until September "for a brief visit", but meanwhile this area is on overload with raccoons!

@maggiemae Not really or typically "a fighting animal". While I wouldn't try to jump in and scoop one up. I now sit out almost next to them while they eat and take dozens of photos almost nightly. They're very cute, but they are (as Allie said), "rascals" and we keep an eye on them!

@radiogirl Bingo!

@Weezilou No kidding?!! The wildlife just seem to know where you are and follow you there. I figured NS would have raccoons, but in your yard just as in CA?? You cant get away from them.

@aglennc (don't give away my secret,,,*food*) (and I don't try to get away from them!)

Rascal caught!

@pickerandagrinner symbiosis...I provide the snack and ask only a cooperative photo in return! (He does better than my grandsons most days!)

Hahaha I love it!!! You know the North American raccoons call you "the marshmallow woman" and they all speak very highly of you... :)

@kerosene OMG...BEST comment in ages! I won't take their esteem lightly and will try to live up to their high regard ♥ ; )

At last! I have been waiting to see your nightly visitor! What a beauty! Oh wow I hope he is still visiting when I come over to see you! You know where I will be! Lol! Huge Fav!

Gorgeous, and such a great name too.

What a cute shy capture :)
July 8th, 2016  
i think maybe some s'mores would make him less shy.
July 8th, 2016
