    Awesome pictures everyone.

    Party time in the bin.






    "theyll never bust us. we all look alike...."
    Yeah, except for one of them.  It looks like it’s disguised as a raccoon, but didn’t quite get the costume right.  I’ll see if you can pick it out.

    Cool, they look dangerously sweet. Love how they climb out.
    I personally find raccoons adorable. As long as they’re not being destructive in my house/yard I have no problem with them.

    Yeah. There is one who looks like he forgot to put on his little mask.

    They are super cute. One by me, maybe was sick or territorial, was going nuts. I called animal control but it took off. I never saw that many together! There was an episode of bobs burgers with raccoons. Funny if you find it.

    It's in that spot often. I'm standing on a sidewalk overlooking the river. Maybe 20 feet? I'll post a non-zoomed version.

    Saw this guy on the walking trail today.  It was about 8 inches long.  I was surprised it let me take the photo, and even more surprised that it gave no resistance to my picking it up.  I was concerned it may have been injured.  Once I carried it away from the trail, it seemed OK.  I was concerned because a few weeks ago I came across a beautiful California king snake that was dead- judging by the width of the impression across its body, probably run over by a cyclist. Very sad.  Today's find was much more positive!

    I hate that when snakes get ridden over. Especially if people kill them on purpose. Snakes are rad.

    Yes all the way!  I would be bummed to see any snake killed, but seeing a dead California king snake was particularly unfortunate.  They are beautiful, non-venomous constrictors harmless to humans, and though not considered endangered, are also not common.    I have only ever seen three in the wild, two live and the one that was run over. 
    I also agree that killing snakes is wrong- unconscionable, really.  That includes rattlesnakes.  Here in the Sierra Foothills, I have heard many stories about people killing rattlesnakes.  That's just so wrong.  There are outfits around here that will come and remove the snake and take it into a wild area away from people, pets, and livestock.  We got home one night and heard one wedged in the corner of two walls.  We have a friend who is experienced in rattlesnake removal or I would have rigged up a hook on a pole and done it myself.  This good friend got the snake into a trash can for us and hauled it away to a safe place.  It was really cool!  Here it is:
