The summer "Guest Cottage" is occupied, better known as the back deck.

1st up is a mostly blind mom, she has lost 1 eye and the other is very milky but she still raised 4 kits and did not lose on last year

And a little later one of the kits from last year showed up, there was some grunting and growling till things got sort out

Those guys are strong and thier front hand/feet grasp things very well, except grapes raccons and grapes are just too funny.
 
Never had a "snake in my boot", as Woody would say. But, did find this guy. Always, check.

Found this guy on a hike in the Smoky Mountains last weekend. Gave him lots of space he was content to just keep eating.

Conguillío National Park (Chile). Inside there is the Llaima volcano. One of the most active volcanoes in Chile. On 01/01/2008 (last eruption) it spat a 3.000m column of smoke, displacing entire communities that live around them. Thos pictures were taken exactly 12 years after that (on (01/01/2020). It's an amazing spot, with nices campgrounds.
