Raccoon - Procyon lotor

Miss August posing for her cover shot ;)

 

This cute raccoon has been showing up in my yard in Central Florida quite frequently this summer. I usually see it in the back yard late in the day, getting a drink of water from the pool. Raccoons are normally nocturnal animals but this young raccoon was probably just trying to cool down from the hot summer we have had here in Florida. We're a long way from Christmas. It started to climb up this tree but then turned around to climb back down. I caught this pose right as is was turning around.
