'' He's Not Heavy........''

Dear Ron, your Racoon sibling images are without doubt the best I've seen! A wonderful capture of these two characters, and the empathy you have with your animal subjects, along with your expertise, just shines through all your images. What an absolute delight, and a pleasure to view. I Love it!

Fantastic photo in so many ways. Nothing much cuter than baby raccoons. Love the background, too.
