Chasing Frick & Frack

Instead of chasing down little kids with masks, I spent part of my Halloween night following these two night bandits around the Lower Harbor and Downtown areas. As they reached the end of a parking lot, there was nowhere else for them to go besides up a tree. I controlled my fear of these critters and managed to get a few shots from just a few feet away. But my fear was for nothing, as these two fluffy furballs didn't produce even a single growl...unlike every other raccoon I've encountered. As much as I dislike raccoons, my fascination with animals is apparently much greater.
