Saint Marks Refuge (Cont.)


This coon came out of nowhere as I was turning around to leave one of the walkin' trails in the Refuge. I fumbled with my camera, which was off at the time. By the time I got it ready he had gotten into the grass, but he turned around and shot a glance my way. I'll never look at a raccoon the same way again, thanks to Chiles. The He-Coon Walks...
This is supposed to be a "photo blind." When I opened the cobwebbed door, however, the sound spooked all the birds. Oh well.
I like how this came out. Even though fishermen are blurred, the balance between the foreground and background is nice.
