Plain as cuspid skull,
winter\u2019s lumbering bandit,
furred, furtive, no more.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Sometime poems, even haiku, compose themselves. Or nearly so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I reached out to ask if anyone recognized the skull that appeared mysteriously behind the carriage barn recently, I received several helpful responses. Joel (@mountain_man_fur) and Heather (@evergreen_lakeside_living) were the most prompt and the most decisive. Raccoon. The skull was once the proud noggin of a raccoon (Procyon lotor). Some quick research cross referencing visuals, and I agreed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This sent me digging back into our trail cam photos and videos from last fall, winter, and spring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I included a mini video on Instagram. Portly raccoon swaggering, lumbering into and past the camera. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At root, this is a memento mori, of sorts. A reminder of the fleeting gift of mortality. Won\u2019t dwell in that further now. Instead I\u2019ll close with the first visual to confirm the raccoon hypothesis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
