I am always amazed at the variety of wildlife I encounter when I walk the West Bay Walkway. This is an urban neighborhood which yet harbours a surprising number of species that appear to have adjusted to living in close proximity to humans. The racoon pictured above is an example. When I encountered him on Tuesday he and a pal were fishing a little lower down on the shoreline, wary but generally unconcerned by onlookers.

Situated on the far west coast of Canada, on the southern tip of Vancouver Island, Victoria is the capital city of the Province of British Columbia. Its benign climate (the warmest winters in Canada) and placid lifestyle make it a favorite retirement location as well as a popular tourist destination. About 400,000 people live in Victoria and adjacent communities.

He is keeping an eye on you. I chatted with one a few weeks back, passing him as I walked by some trees in the evening. He looked at me as if to wonder if I was nuts.
They are so cute but soooooo destructive.
Cute shot!
Thanks all for your comments.
@ William: OK, what were you chatting about?
@JoJo: As the racoon was looking at me he was thinking about humans, "They are so cute but sooooo destructive."
