THE CROSSING!

Posting 2 of 4 in a SERIES of postings of a mother racoon and five kits crossing a creek to a sewer pipe on the other side. I've numbered the kits #'s 1 to 5 with # 1 being the first to swim to the other side and the first to enter the sewer and # 5 being the last even though it was the second kit to arrive at the water's edge.

Top image: Kit # 2 making the creek crossing in the shadows of a large culvert with a ray of sunlight filtering through.


Kit # 3 starting its swim across whilst # 5 remains undecided on the rock.


Kit # 4 arriving on the west shore.


Kit # 5, testing out the water, but still undecided by this time the others had all crossed.

TO BE CONTINUED

Great series and story line, Hank. Swimming does not come naturally to all of us.

This is a great series, Hank! I saw a raccoon in the water last summer. It was a first for me..

Love the second shot with the not so graceful entry of Kit#3 and the third shot of soaking wet #4.
