Happy Raccoon
Perched partway up a tree in the forests of Marquette, Michigan, this raccoon pauses to catch its breath — jaws parted, tongue visible, chest rising. The soft lighting and stillness of the moment reveal more than just movement; they hint at the physicality of wild life, the pauses between effort, and the quiet instincts that govern it all.
There’s a subtle expression in the raccoon’s face — not quite a smile, but something earnest and momentary.
