A perfect summer’s day! Rocky Raccoon took me by surprise. When I read “furry fisherman,” I was expecting some guy wearing a strange fishing vest. (Or whatever you call those things with all the pockets.)

Nicely done. I don’t think I have ever seen a raccoon in the water, but of course they do go there.

LOL for your furry fisherman V.J. We don’t normally see them in daylight hours, and I’ve never seen one in the water! Looks like your pandemic restrictions still allow plenty of exposure to nature’s gifts!

Odd for us too, Tina. Normally they come out at night. Country living has it’s advantages. Thanks.
