| Rocky Raccoon, Golden Gate Park |
As I was out and about on a foggy and chilly Columbus Day yesterday, I finally ran into a raccoon at North Lake (part of the Chain of Lakes). Years ago, there was a "feeding station" at the south end of the lake where numerous raccoons could often be found swarming around whoever was feeding them at the time. I think the word has gotten out that feeding wildlife is not a good idea, but I do kind of miss seeing these furry bandits.

| The great blue heron was zeroing in on something on the edge of the lake, so I waited and waited, figuring if the GBH can be patient, then so can I. After awhile he decided whatever had captured his interest had gotten away. |
