Description

Sometimes while observing wildlife through binoculars or a camera, I am surprised to see the animal looking back! They don't miss much!

This pair of young raccoons have mixed reactions to being so closely observed. While the one in back seems a bit uncertain, the raccoon in front appears curious about their observer. Raccoons are known for their bold curiosity and I would not have been surprised had this one moved in for a closer look!

Raccoons are intelligent, adaptable and resourceful. They are often portrayed as tricksters symbolizing their ability to outsmart others through cunning and wit. I could see these traits so well in this pair "Looking Back" at me.
