Look what I've added to the photos of our ever-growing menagerie! I've waited several nights to see them with my own eyes! The little grey one came by first...then as I was trying to get a photo, she ran off with a start and the big guy came lumbering in! Soon they were together...well...first side by side...and then...*together*.
ahhh...Springtime!
...to be continued...I suppose... It would seem we have a very fecund environment in this back yard!
Oh dear, don't egg them on. We had a mommy in out chimney once year long ago, she had her babies in the chimney and one night the daddy came down the chimney and had a 'yummy time" of it. Then we had someone put a cap on the chimney!! They are cute though.
@lucypics ...I'm sorry, Lucy..."cupcakes"? I toss out little marshmallows, and they love those! (This morning my husband commented that there were "marshmallows everywhere"...(which was probably only two...) but I was in a dark kitchen trying to bait them last night!
@lucypics ahhhhh...now I get it! The pans are there to make noise so I can hear it on the baby monitor! I'm a little slow on the uptake...but the comment was very cute!
How wonderful to have captured these guys on camera , well done. btw thank you for your comment on the roses Helen sent them , she is very busy writing her latest book.
@dannydavies Thanks, Danny for liking them that much :) How nice to meet up with another cat lover... I've never bought one...they adopt me...if they stay long enough they have to be fixed and we make a good home for them...I'm amazed that they all get along so well!
Awesome! My kids had pet raccoons when they were growing up. We lived on a farm and got the raccoons when they were little. They were very tame. They loved to play in the wading pool and always washed their food if water was available. Have fun Louise!
@lynnz A huge thanks for the uplifting note! Not everyone is a fan...but I realize that! I, too, as a child, had a friend with a pet raccoon, so I've always been drawn to them. I don't try to pet a "wild animal", even in my yard, and I respect the boundaries. With that in mind, we're delighting in the entertainment any time we have a half hour to watch! I never dreamed I'd be having this much fun over the winter in California!
