While walking on the Bear Creek Trail today, I saw something swimming out of the corner of my eye. I did not turn fast enough though and did not know what it was. So, by the time I moved a bit closer, it was hiding behind the tree.
As I turned to return to the trail, I realized that a baby raccoon was staring at me from up in the tree.
I snapped a couple of pictures and then realized that momma was making sure that I did not get any closer to her baby.
When I looked back up, I realized that momma was actually making sure that I did not get any closer to her babies!
After snapping this picture, I moved away, but what a neat experience on the trail.
