Greeting Card: Racoon Card

This masked bandit racoon lives in the big tree in my front yard, from which he spends his evenings galloping across my roof! I surprised him in the tree one twilight. In this photo, he has retreated to his favourite branch, curled his black and white striped tail across his nose, and is peaking over it with his two sparkly, black eyes in their black mask peering out at us. The white stripes over his eyes contrast with grey forehead and ears. In the foreground, a few green bits of leaves blurs into the tail, with grey-brown branches and white sky in the background.
