Perfectly Posed Portrait

Had a blast yesterday morning with a clan of Raccoons!
After taking my boys to school, my homeschooled son & I
decided to take our morning walk in the park & spotted a
couple of these guys.
Since I had my camera, I thought to lure them out more
somehow...so off to the store we went & bought tuna,
carrots, even vienna sausages...hahaha!
Well they ALL worked so well that I was able to draw out
no less than 12 raccoons from the bushes.
It was quite an experience...1 that we will do again that's 4 sure.
Every1 who passed by was amazed at how comfortable they
were with me, some coming as close as 2 1/2 feet.
A bit scary, for the raccoons I mean, they would turn to run at
the slightest flinch, so I wasn't too disturbed when they were
in that, "I can do it but I'm not gonna" petting range.
Yeah don't think they've ever been part of the petting zoos.
But inside I was dying to do it!
