Raccoon: "Dreams of Spring"
What peace will be found in your dreams of the Spring of tomorrow?
Serenity held in the moment of an Autumn morning.
Prelude to the long Winter sleep sought with anticipation.
What peace will be found in your dreams of the Spring of tomorrow?
I took these photos on November 29, 2024. I had a vacation day to use up and decided to go for a morning hike. As I was walking past this tree, I heard scuffing sounds and looked up to see this raccoon looking down at me.
The area is getting colder and I imagine the local raccoons area settling into places for their Winter torpor sleep. Not quite full hibernation, but rather nice deep sleeps for a few weeks at a time.
Enjoy your peaceful sleep Raccoon buddy and may you have dreams of many warm Spring days!
English - Korean:

Spring = 봄 / bom (pronounced like bome/boam)
Summer = 여름 / yeoreum (pronounced like yuh-reum)
Autumn = 가을 / gaeul (pronounced like ga-eul)
Excellent post and photos, Neil. I like the concluding question of your Sijo: "What peace will be found in your dreams of the Spring of tomorrow?"
Boy could I go for one of those sleeps 🦝 💤
Lovely post as always!
