  The pictures of raccoons are so wonderful.  Loving them.


Lady Renee your right he is wearing Lord Stephen's doublet. How did he get that? 

Actually, the Lord Mayor at Bristol has a long vest (like what Henry VIII wears, but I don't know the term for it) of the same material.   It seems to be a popular choice!

Great photos of the racoons!!  I did not know that they could be domesticated.

The fabric in question is called FRENCH QUARTER by Waverly. Luxurious, rich in color, and very popular. I did a doublet for a client 4 years ago using that pattern. Made a forepart out of it for myself.

I agree with that raccoon Bluegills are tasty. Had some last week.

Nice shot.  Is that one of those little roadside carnivals that shows up for about a week and then moves on?

It's a car dealership in Nashville. They have a ferris wheel in front and always stand in front of t for their commercial. It's Carnival  Kia hence the wheel.
There is however one of those setting up nearby. They weren't opened last time I drove by. Might have to visit it this weekend.

Little known fact but I raised eight raccoons. My husband brought home six babies and they were only a few hours old. I bottle-fed them and got up for 3 AM feedings. Heating pad, the whole bit.
The day I let them go at Ft DeSoto Park, they wouldn't leave. They were playing with my shoelaces and I stood there sobbing. 

I did see three of them a few years later. I knew it was them from their markings.

I did have two as pets.
Digby and Darling. Darling lived 15 years.

My Lil girl is my life. I got her as a rescue (her mom had been shot) at less then a week old. Syringe feedings, then bottle feedings, heating pad, helping her have bowel movements...the whole sh-bang. She's a handful, but I wouldn't have it any other way!

[DeadBishop]

A hint of what's to come tomorrow....

[renfairephotog]

Cool My neighbors shot some tonight. Just a few I expect more. So I'll try to get some pics tomorrow.
