Long story behind where I took this shoot I'll post a few more images along with the story in the next few days.

They are cute, indeed but quite aggressive in real life, no? Great capture, Louie!

Fine image. Not a very long story, at least not yet Louie

Excellent shot and I love trash pandas!
Even though they drive my dogs crazy.

Oh sure; it's all fun and games 'til...any number of things happens. But this is a nice family portrait, Louie! I'm eager to hear the rest of the story.

During the summer, I was waiting for something to happen at "my" wetland when I heard some snuffling and soft grunting coming from the thick riparian grasses behind me. I was seated on a muddy hummock just above the water surface. I listened as the sounds approached and they were almost upon me when I saw three raccoon kits within a few feet of me. I had no idea whether the adults were close but I figured I'd better stand and shoo the youngsters away. They were pretty reluctant to leave but they finally did.

Back to your picture though, it's a nice clean shot. Another good target for MFing lenses?

Thanks for posting.

Mischievous animals they are! Great capture Louie.

Look forward to the story and additional pictures.

Louie,
Loved the portrait. Seems scared to death. But not really!

Thanks Joshua, and boy do I know just how vicious they can be. I had a friend that had his dog tangle with one not a good outcome.
