Raccoon: "Searching for Treasure"
Where to find what you are seeking, but by looking within.
Searching beneath the surface for undiscovered treasures.
Reaching beyond limits, your senses awakened and attuned.
Where to find what you are seeking, but by looking within.
I took these photos May 25, 2025. I started my hike hours later than usual. Sometimes things work out well: had I not started later, I would not have seen this racoon.
I wonder if this raccoon is one of the kits I saw a few years ago with their mother and siblings. (“Family Adventures” link at the end of this post.) In a way, I found my own treasure in this encounter watching this raccoon.
English - Korean:
Raccoon (Procyon lotor) = 라쿤 / Raccoon (refers to the raccoon in North America)
American Raccoon (Procyon lotor) = 아메리카너구리 / America neoguri
Common Raccoon Dog (Nyctereutes procyonoides) = 너구리 / Neoguri]
Raccoons are underappreciated.
Birds sing, water flows.
