Listening to ducks splash as the tide goes down. Soon the other critters will venture onto the mudflats as they get exposed, and all with vie for a morsel of clam.

Fun posts so far! Glad folks enjoyed it and that wild places are showing up here. Contactor - Ligers, yay and good on the Needles...just got back from Sherman Pass. Jeff - remembering Coz and his untamed spirit. Fritz - Sheridan Anderson! Jaybro - right on. Donini - :-). Kingtut - looks like ny locale! Hooblie - the wild things we do.
Loved that raccoon who went up the building in St Paul last week. She's my total heartthrob here.
Sister racoon, your indomitable spirit inspires. In the streets of the city, with hands like mine, you're chased and poisoned, and you overcome. You are wild, gritty and passionate. In the storm drains and crannies unseen, you protest. A bastion in nature's struggle with the hegemony of man. Undaunted by the concrete that smothers grass and trees and flowers - flowers that blossom love - you climb the buildings and squeeze through the cracks. You find the scraps discarded from careless excess and grow strong with shimmering brilliance watching from the shadows as machines and shoes pass by. And with that shining power you capture the essence of every creature yearning to be free and wild - climbing to heights with mice and ants and snails and birds...and with every blade of grass that fills the cracks in the road. Sister racoon in my heart I go with you.

The view from a previously unclimbed peak in Patagonia we did last summer. The background is largely still unexplored.

A world no longer wild is a place I don’t care to be...do your best to help preserve our diminishing wild places!
