Given the choice, I will always opt for a stroll through a park rather than a bustling city street. A couple of days ago, I had to travel from the east to the west side of Manhattan and I cut through Central Park to make the journey more enjoyable. I am very happy I did so, because look who popped out to say hello along the way.
I almost passed out from the cuteness. We hung out for ages on a hidden pathway by a pond, watching the world go round, giving me ample time to snap a few more pics.
Thanks for the company, little buddy.
The Eco and the Id 
Gorgeous!
Thanks JM, that little raccoon made my day 🙂 Love your turkey pics.
Best raccoon pictures EVER!! 🙂
Haha, thanks Vlad, he was totally working the camera 🙂
I hope you rewarded him for posing, so he’ll do it again…
Love the close-ups! Great shots…
Thanks Debbie, the little guy was very photogenic 🙂
AWWWWW! What a charmer! 🙂
Haha, his raccoon mojo worked on me, Susie, I was completely charmed!
Wow, what lovely photographs. And all this in Central Park? 🙂
Thanks Walter, yes, right bang smack in the middle of the metropolis. Isn’t it wonderful? 🙂
WOW. Wildlife is so adaptable. Great pix..so cute he looks like a movie star (maybe he’s hoping to be discovered? Certainly a charmer)
He was definitely ready for his closeup, I suspect he’s worked the camera once or twice before 🙂
Oh! what a darling…lovely pictures.
Thanks 🙂 He was awfully cute
I like the BEATLES song with the same title …
Me too, that’s where I got the title for my post 🙂
Omg! He’s so cute!!
Ha ha, thanks Eilsa, he was so adorable, and very friendly. He hung out for ages, giving me plenty of time to get some fun shots. 🙂
