I should have used that photo for a caption contest post:

“Stella!”

But I can see how you might be confused about how raccoons fit into this series of posts. I was confused too.

The last thing I expected to see on Treasure Island, where I went to take some photos of the sunset and the Golden Gate Bridge and San Francisco, were a bunch of raccoons. It is an island, connected to San Francisco and Oakland only by a big bridge.

But there were so many raccoons that someone threw away a perfectly good one. Ha!

Okay, that might explain why there are so many… but still… she had to get there somehow.

I am just trying to finish up these pictures from two days ago so we can move on to the dozens of photos I took on my adventure yesterday.

I am falling behind.

It was a little weird taking these pictures while a bunch of raccoons were scrambling all around me.

They look cute, but they are wild animals, and can be quite vicious.

So anyway, enjoy the pictures.

I suppose it doesn’t matter if you follow along with the story or not.

But I like the stories.

I turned around from the view of the city to take a shot of the newly-rebuilt Eastern half of the Oakland Bay Bridge. That bridge, and two others, will play a big part in my adventure of yesterday… which were still tomorrow… when I took these… if you see what I mean.
