A Sunset & A Raccoon

A few weeks ago, I went on a walk after work to a nearby cemetery. It was at the perfect time to catch a beautiful cotton-candy sunset.

While walking through the cemetery, I found some people chatting and staring up at a tree. That grabbed my attention and I looked as well to find a small family of raccoons hanging out in the tree! They were probably getting ready for some adventures later that night.

The very top of the tree had a cluster of small raccoons, while closer to the bottom was what I assume was one of their parents, scurrying around various branches. I didn't get super close, but I tried to take a video of what I could!

I'm also using this as a test of the gallery functionality I added to the site. I should write up a post about that, cause it took a good bit to figure out!
