Raccoon

I captured this image with my Samsung Techwin KENOX S630 camera, set on auto.
I zoomed in on the "blob" on the side of the tree, because I couldn't actually see the raccoon. After I got home, I edited the photo with Paint Shop Pro, enlarging, cropping, and sharpening it. This is the result.
