Tail-less Raccoon

We haven't seen Uncle Charlie, the big, tail-less raccoon for many weeks.  He doesn't do well in the tree-climbing department, alas.  But he just walked by (it's more of a strange waddle, actually), stopped for a drink from the bird bath, and then moved out to the front of the house and the street.  Of course, before I could get my hands on a camera.  It's not enough to have the camera with you at all times when you leave the house; it's got to be there when you're in the house, too, nowadays with this non-stop raccoon trail that we're running.  But if I'm going to do that, it's got to be a much smaller camera!
