Oregon's most delicious weed is ripe - the blackberries are so delicious!

Mama's trying to see if we are a threat to her babies.
We've had a duck family, a rat family and now a raccoon family visit our backyard. I'm hoping the skunks aren't next in line.
This morning we spotted a mama and three babies on the fence. Mama got down easily and quickly, but the babies were stuck for a while.

The babies finally made it down, but came down on the wrong side of the fence and were trapped in our backyard. Two dug their way out, but the third just couldn't figure out how to get through the fence. I finally had to go out and open the little gate so it could find it's way back to mama.
So wild about the raccoons! Some weeds are truly gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteAccording to my retired, rural area, sheriff's deputy friend raccoons keep away skunks. Another reason to like raccoons.
ReplyDeleteAll of these (as always) are great shots, but I love the racoons!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing at http://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2015/07/variations.html
I love the purple cone flowers! (is that what they are? I hope so or else I've just made a fool of myself. Oops.) And the blackberries! I miss blackberries. The place I grew up had several huge thickets and we would make ourselves sick on them. Miss that.
ReplyDeleteI host a Photo Friday link-up each week - would love to have you join us!
Stopping by from Image-in-ing!
Aww the raccoon's are very cute, so glad you were there to help.
ReplyDeleteWould love to have you share
Have a wonderful week!
Mama raccoon was also trying to figure out how to get into your garbage can to feed her three babies :)

Your photos make me actually like racoons. I do think they are cute, we've lost too many chickens in the past to like them too much.
ReplyDeleteThe flower pics are beautiful!
Great shots. The raccoons are cute, but I hope they don't get into your garbage-then they are pests.
ReplyDeleteCute pictures! We had a pack of raccoons visiting our yard nightly for a while (because my husband was feeding them cat food!?!). They were really cute, especially the babies. A little too cute really. After a while my husband really thought they were his friends and attempted to feed one out of his hand. Well, a dozen rabies shots later and he keeps his distance from our adorable friends now :)
ReplyDeleteLovely as usual! I have to know, are those black tomatoes? Hope you are making the most of the remains of summer.
