Curious Racoon

Photographed by Lee Downing

Recently I was in the Poconos on a trip and spent one morning sitting in the woods just watching three raccoons playing. This one got so curious about me that he slow moved through the ferns to within 6ft and took a peek. I loved enough to startle him so he backed off and continued playing.
