Menaced by wildlife

Well, stared at, anyway. This critter was determined to eat all or part of my lunch. Fortunately, my trusty sidekick, Steve, chased him up a palm tree and there the raccoon sat, slavering, while I calmly ate the rest of my salami sandwich. Tomorrow I’ll post a pastel of the beady eyed egret that stood behind me the whole time as well, one foot raised and sharp beak ready to stab my box of Wheat Thins. Animals! They’ve got no manners at all!

And they’re too cute for words.
