Workout Plan

The holidays can often lead to overindulgence of food and drink.

Remaining active is key during these festive times.

Best to stick with the basics; running and leaping -- and don't forget to stretch!

Learning and Playing

Here are a few pictures of some raccoons, Procyon lotor, from the Santa Cruz Mountains that I got in the Fall. The main group of raccoons that came by the camera were a mother and her two offspring. They walked up and down the creek, faces up and paws dragging the bottom feeling for yummy critters to catch and eat.

Notice the "I am trying to concentrate" look on the young one's face.

Inspecting the camera

Cannonball!!!
This is one of my favorite images of the past year

Just to illustrate that sometimes the 8-legged critters find your camera a wonderful place to set-up shop. This usually leads to the camera trap blues.

I know that was a lot of raccoon pictures. More than most sane people would want to look at, but these are only a fraction of the ones I could have posted.

Sneaking outdoors during this month of madness can be difficult, but a treat always presents itself.
