This is a shot I took earlier this summer and decided not to post at the time.

I spotted the raccoon I photographed the previous night near the house the following morning.

I heard some more rustling out back the other night.  This time, it was not a opossum; it was a raccoon.

I heard some rustling in the leaves out back one night last week.  It turned out to be a opossum.

My wife gave me a new camera for my birthday. It’s a Canon Powershot SD 1100 IS Digital ELPH. It is much smaller and lighter than our previous camera, the Canon Powershot A620, so it is great to run and hike with. In addition to still photos, it also takes good video and has a digital macro mode for closeup shots. I highly recommend this camera!

Like other digital cameras on the market today, the included memory card cannot store many pictures; therefore I also recommend investing in a higher capacity SD card.
