Standing in the yard the air is almost still,
there is a sudden thud ,, near us.

I ran for the camera & found the dazed pup moments after she fell 40± feet to the padded forest floor. then on cue mama Raccoon heads down the adjacent pine tree . all to fetch her baby and haul her all the way back up to her hollowed out home.

music is recent discovery Rubblebucket Orchestra MySpace.com/Rubblebucket ;
An awesome 10 piece ensemble.
Tune: Red Line Beat (portion)
Album; Rose's Dream

    In Russia there is a cartoon film "Crumb-raccoon" which tells about a small raccoon who was afraid of all. And most of all it was afraid of the reflection in a pond. A raccoon (to show) terrible grimaces. Reflection too. And here mum of a raccoon has advised it to smile. A crumb-raccoon has smiled to the reflection and has ceased to be afraid.
    And I since the childhood very much loved this cartoon film and sang song from it " From a smile in hearts there is light. Even the rainbow will wake up from a smile. Share with friends a smile and in the answer you will receive too laughter"

    Very sweet story, something new to me about Russian culture.

    I do like a happy ending.

    Could you sense the relief of the mama raccoon dumping that
    pup back into the penthouse from which the pup fell.
    & Since you're the musical type the tune was
    dropped onto the clip & nudged ever so slightly yet the changes in the
    tune and the clip seemed timed.

    I just assumed the edits were timed to the track. Actually I'm not sure what you mean.
  • CTD3 2 years ago
    Just several points where there is an unplanned but seriously decent transition
    of tune and clip which match in an uncanny way.

    Wow....that's amazingly lucky! I assumed they were intentional.

    12 metres is a massive drop. I didn't know that raccoons lived in trees but now I do.
  • CTD3 2 years ago
    They pretty much sleep & or rest in the daytime and forage @ night.

    I love raccoons and possums. We used to feed them leftovers from the table when I was a kid. My father still does. They wait for him to show up every evening. Good footage chris.
