Why Hello!
May 6, 2010

So I wanted to go on photo safari yesterday, but the weather was not particular accommodating. Since the park I enjoy is on a lake with some rather placid/stagnant areas, I waited until the day after the rains to go. Just driving into the park ... all the green ... the birds ... was so relaxing. The hike was one of the worst I've had out there because there were times when I was walking through clouds of gnat-things so thick I could barely keep my eyes opened. I almost turned back from the bugs, but I soldiered on.

I took a relatively small number of pictures, but managed some really nice compositions. I headed back to the park entrance earlier than I wanted, but it was starting to get late ... and then the park gifted me with this little guy:

Raccoon on a tree

Raccoon on a tree

He posed for quite a while for me - longer than I expected and he even let me change locations once. Cheeky bugger had to "hide" his face behind that vine, though.
