Animal *Wednesday*.....Sort of....

Why *sort of*?  Because I took these photos last Friday!   A-ha-ha! 





 I have begun my *Non-Opera* job....as a Receptionist for a Tax Company...not my *forte* and the hours are not ideal - but - it's money!
HAW!

Love,

♥ Robin ♥

    What great photos. But how do you get to see Racoons in the day time? I thought they slept in the day time. Happy for you on getting the job. :))

      Cris...amazingly, at North Lake, there are TWO families of Raccoons who live there.... I was thrilled to be photographing Ducks...when suddenly, I saw a *Masked Marauder* peering at me across the lake...he immediately started across on a *Coon-Made* Bridge (see the last photo) - followed by nine more! They were thrilled to partake of bread and cheerios....and weren't interested in the Ducks! Thank you for your good wishes about the job! Love, ♥ Robin ♥

    good luck with the job. its your second year so maybe it will be easier to acclimate to. Someone else posted abt seeing a racoon in her yard and i didnt say but wondered if it could be rabid? Not that this one is of course but we have had rabid coons both on the Cape and up here.

      Suki...yes, the second year with this company IS easier...but the night hours (especially in that neighbourhood) are still creepy.....still, I will manage.

      These *Coonies* are all healthy and happy... believe me, I know what to look for regarding rabid animals.

      Love,

    I swear the California raccoons are the most brazen!! I always thought of them as sick or rabid if seen in daylight, but these guys are just opportunists!!

    The swans are magnificent.

    I hope the job is going well so far.

    I watched a stellar jay (as in your photo) steal nuts from a squirrel. The squirrel was running all around burying nuts, and the jay was watching from a tree. Every time the squirrel turned its back, the jay would fly down and take as many of the nuts as the squirrel had just buried.
