For the last year and starting again this year a few weeks ago, at my folks place in Maine, I had the creepy feeling that I was being watched and followed. Whenever I'd go on the back deck of the garage where my studio is, I'd get this feeling there were eyes on me. Never saw them, but I only had a low powered flash light.

Tonight, I had the maglight because I left all the other flashlights in my studio and returned from the main house. And with that, at long last, I found the culprit.

It stuck around long enough to let me take some photos. To be kinder, I took out the lower powered flashlight and kept it directly OFF him, only hitting it with side light.

He got REALLY curious with the camera -- Head bobbing and head tilting and all that (I think he was following the focusing orange light). He slowly left, but not before checking out the mulch pile. We were maybe 40 feet apart with this.

Raccoonage was confirmed by binoculars. Mask fully visible.
