Howdy Jean, just over here doing some research.

Guy, I have to ask, what sort of research are you doing??

Yup, a BIG milestone soon. I was getting the ID# for Gnarly.

Guy, hey, all the missing comments are back on this photo! Cool. Pano must be feeling better this morning.

Yup, big milestone ahead plus it will soon be a year since this photo was thrillingly taken! I have started thinking that it might be a race to see if the anniversary will come before the big number or t'other way 'round.

What is Gnarly going to do with the ID number, I wonder?

I love whenever these dear friends pop up ever now and then :) and especially with your online observations out the window :) Best wishes to you over there Jean, Peter

Maria, thank you for that nice compliment. It will soon be a year that this photo was taken, the first anniversary is June 5th. I was so thrilled to get this photo and was so pleased to offer it to GE. Then I found a whole lot of new friends here in Panoramio! It has been a wonderful year. Greetings to you in Hungary.

Patrik, Thank you! These raccoons are back and I am again taking their photos. One is right outside the house right now, I just saw him... or her.

Peter, thank you for saying that! I am so glad to read that folks don't mind seeing them over and over. And I'm glad to share the new photos of them this year. They are getting used to seeing that camera this year! I don't have to sneak around anymore to get their photo but now they are not as likely to look into the camera when I make a noise, they go about their business and think, Oh, it's only Jean.

Greetings to you all from the mountains of North Carolina where the (scattered showers) clouds have parted and the sun shines for a while,

Hi Jean!

Congratulations!

My best wishes to you, Heiner

K.Herr, on May 31, 2009, said:

Jean, I opend the photo this evening and I bet I saw something about 9800 views. Then I wrote my message and when I opend it again there were 10176 views. Maybe I was blind or panoramio was making fun of me... so I decided to delete it.

Whatever, I take my hat off you and your Beagle Boys!

Greetings Klaus

Great picture

jgevans, on June 1, 2009, said:

Heiner, thank you very much.

Jazz, amazing number, thank you!

Klaus, I was astounded when I looked again also. Panoramio was down for a while and the number I had seen was about 9850 and when I looked again it was well over 10,000 views! I could hardly believe my eyes! My Beagle Boys and I thank you!

John-mike, I'm so glad you like my photo, I was so thrilled to see it and snap it! Greetings to you in France. Your contest photos are great!

Schnoferl, I'm sorry, they already have homes. No homeless raccoons here. They live in the wild. But I agree with you, they are so cute! They stopped by here for a snack and a drink of water on a dry and dreadfully hot day.

csn, thanks!

Jean
