Night Visitors
The local Raccoon gang

It wasn't too long ago that we put out the fountain by the deck for the summer.  Shortly after that one night I woke up to splashing and banging.  When I looked outside I saw 3 adolescent raccoons frolicking in the fountain and playing with the spray head.    

A few weeks have gone by and just the other night I heard the same thing again.  This time I went pulled out the camera before opening the door to take a look.  The same 3 troublemakers were back.  The flash going off as I took their pictures didn't phase them at all.  I was even able to walk out on the deck next to them and they wouldn't leave until I made noise.
