Nap time!

   There's a baseball field by my house and I love to go watch the kids play ball and take some pictures, sometimes the best shots are when the subject doesn't know they're being photographed. I was watching the kids one day and thought I saw something a little out of place in the crook of a big tree branch. At first I thought it was a sweater or some article of clothing. As I got closer I realized it was an animal, as soon as I spotted the tail I knew what kind. It was a raccoon, all curled up taking a nap, sleeping right through all the noise of the ball game. I don't know why but as soon as I took my lens cap off and took my first shot it woke right up! It was a poser believe me, after yawning and stretching he posed for about ten nice shots. Then as quick as it woke it curled right back up and went back to sleep!
