Peek-A-Boo by

Kestrel Farm in Niwot, Colorado August 2009

I was caring for the farm animals and critters for a week while my friends went to California. By the time the week was over, I had gained the confidence of the raccoons (to a certain degree) through feeding them am and pm. When they got used to me, they followed me and got pretty close.

    too cute of a shot. – Dennis

  • Thanks Dennis, I farm-sat for a week at this Kestrel Farm and I had to feed all the critters. By the time the week was over, they were following me around. Kind of scary.

  • Thanks Lance, you wouldn’t believe all the raccoons that came out to be fed from under the decks around two sides of the old farm house.This is an old farm and the decks needs redoing. By weeks end I was counting more then I can remember.

    Lovely image.

  • Thank you Olga, what is it they call them, the Mask Bandits? I have had the trash barrel dumped in the barn two nights in a row now. Cute and destructive.

    These little guys are absolutely adorable! When I used to visit Yosemite, they would curl up in the sinks in the restrooms for their night’s sleep.

  • Your kidding. That’s very interesting. Thanks for the comment.
