Urban Wildlife

I just noted my cat staring out the kitchen window with alert interest. I looked out the window to see a couple of raccoons make their way down the alley, doing some snooping around for food. When they got to my building's dumpster, one of the raccoons climbed up the adjoining telephone pole and hopped onto the dumpster. It then proceeded to peek under one of the dumpster top doors (they're plastic) and look for food. It didn't find any, then had a heck of time getting back down that telephone pole. It finally crawled down backwards and the pair made their way down the alley. They can move fast when they have to.

I like raccoons, they look like little burglars.
