I take pictures of tree holes. I know that may be odd. I am hoping to find an owl or another animal dwelling in the hole. This photo was taken from quite a distance with a zoom lens and is heavily cropped. It was before sunset.
I did not see the raccoon when I aimed for the tree hole. Maybe it was there and the image was too small to see it, or maybe it just entered the frame just as I clicked. After I zoomed in and looked at my camera I said Holy Cow! Then I went for a closer look at the tree. I did not see the raccoon again. Hopefully it was his home and not another animal’s home he was looking to raid eggs from. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

I love these surprise shots. That is why I seldom delete photos in the field. I need to look at them on the big screen first. No raccoons here, but I did capture a shot of a porcupine up a tree once. Happy Sunday Sharon. Allan

Fabulous hole shooting, Sharon! I shoot tree holes too! I’ve found critters inside as well, it’s fun when it happens. 🙂

I’m not the only oddball out there. 😀 I’m always hoping for an owl but other critters make me happy as well.

Not sure if it entered the shot right when I took it or I just didn’t see it. A nice surprise.
