Thank you for the kind words...and yes, they DO always have an adorable face - especially when you catch them stealing your stuff or rooting through your trash! Β Then, their "who, me?" look is priceless.Β

Haha, I bet. Haven't really seen any over here though. I want to get a picture of them at night, I love the amber/green gleam their eyes do at night.

Well these were living right in the rocks at the pier at Jetty Park in Port Canaveral, FL. And they seemed both happy and not all that bothered by all us humans wandering around.Β

When we lived in Orlando, I was very young, but I remember the racoons that came to our back door every night. A lot of people fed them pretty regularly.

LOL...that is neat. We stayed at Letchworth State Park (New York State) when I was a kid and the raccoons were so tame, they'd sit on the picnic table and eat with you.
That's a place you should look into...it's called "the Grand Canyon of the East"...it's pretty cool, the Genesssee River has cut a canyon into the landscape of Southwestern NY State. There are three waterfalls within the park. It's a pretty cool place for kids, too...

Well, they are very smart birds, but for me they fall into the same category as Blue Jays - loud, noisy, selfish birds who tend to take over wherever they roost. And after having one choose to wake up on a tree just outside my window for one entire Summer (when I lived in upstate NY), I sort of grew to really hate the sound of a squawking crow...especially on weekend mornings.
Now ravens, in the other hand, I have no problems with.
As for having your wife model, you are fortunate that she will do that for you. For years, my wife has actively hides her face. Although, she has been trying lately...we had a bit of a "discussion" a few months back where she had the gall to suggest we go get a family portrait done by a "professional" (what the HELL?!?! 
After calming down a bit, I reminded her that when I try to take her picture she's constantly turning away, hiding her face, or making nasty faces at me...the camera can only capture what's there.
To her credit (and this is one of the things I love about her), she did agree and has been trying to be more "modelley" (my word - more like a model) lately.

Yeah...I do need to try a bit harder to be more professional with her...getting her laughing is a critical part of it, I suspect.

LOL..I hadn't thought of that. Used to work for other things, too.
