| Look who I caught napping. |
I was going to wait until January when I begin my new project to start blogging again. I invested in a better camera, though, and need to learn to use it so I'll have decent photos.
Armed only with my new camera and a bottle of water, I braved the alligator-infested wetlands of the Sabine National Wildlife Refuge to bring you this photo of a...raccoon??? I took a walk along the Blue Goose Trail and spotted a striped tail near the top of a tree. They look adorable when they're asleep. Not so much when they're stealing your food right off the table. They terrified a little boy who was camping near us at Tyler State Park...but that's another story...
I saw no gators and I was a little early for the winter flocks of geese. Most of the birds I did see flew away before I could snap a photo. I wasn't ready for the otter-looking creature that hopped across the path in front of me. I tried unsuccessfully to capture birds in flight. This is going to take some practice.
Hints, please!

Most new cameras will have a multi shoot setting for fast action. My new Lumix takes up to 20 shots a second which is great for flying birds etc
I would so love to see a raccoon! :-)
I don't think I've ever seen a sleeping raccoon. That's actually kinda neat!
aww that is really cute...nice capture...and great to see you...smiles.
ah how sweet! i put my camera on sport mode and drive mode for multiple shots at a fast shutter speed to try and catch moving things! but of course you still have to be ready to press the button!
@Tempo: Thanks! I'll find it on my camera and practice.
@Liz: I hadn't either until yesterday. There's no mistaking that tail, though!
@Brian Miller: Great to be seen and know I haven't been forgotten.
@Claire: So walking down the trail with the lens cap on not such a bright idea...
Welcome back Jen!!!
What'cha been doin'? :)
Have fun with the new camera. I'm hoping to get one soon.
@Rachel: Go camping in Florida and leave a cooler out. You'll see dozens.
@Anita: I could have saved a bunch by shopping QVC. They have amazing sales on electronics.
