4 out of 5 raccoons prefer the taste of McDonalds over Burger King. :)

I shot this yesterday afternoon while walking through Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park. My son and I stumbled upon the little critter getting his next meal out of a garbage container and dragging it off to the woods. We thought it was pretty comical, so I'd like to share the humor. Enjoy!

Now that's the kind of shot that sells!


"Your" and "you're" are different words with completely different meanings - please use the correct one.
"They're", "their", and "there" are different words with completely different meanings - please use the correct one.
"Fare" and "fair" are different words with completely different meanings - please use the correct one. The proper expression is "moot point", NOT "mute point".

Thank you, gentlemen! Since the raccoon's exit from the garbage container caught us both by surprise, I didn't have time to adjust any of the camera's previous settings, so it's a little OOF, due to the large aperture. My son and I think it's comical, nonetheless.

It's the eternal struggle between the predator and the dollar menu.

He must have heard someone ask if he'd like fries with that---and he decided he did. Cute shot!
