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!
