A raccoon family who made their home in a friend's backyard, in Seattle. These are two of the three kids who followed their mother around today as she taught them to forage and climb trees. I shot this from a distance using my 70-300mm lens. They were curious, perched above me in the limbs of a willow t A little noisy and soft, taken at ISO 800 in low light and tree shade. Some PP to reduce noise, bring up levels and sharpen.
