We went for a walk at the Eno River today. We were there around 7.00 pm when the sun wasn't shining very bright anymore and we saw a lot of deer.

On the road near the park someone had put home-made signs: "slow, baby deer", and in their garden were at least 8 deer, including young ones.

There's a large park around the Eno river and on our walk through the woods near the river we saw a beautiful animal that we had seen only once or twice before. I thought it was called a possum, but tonight I looked it up and the animal we saw is a raccoon.

The raccoon was about to climb in to a tree when it saw us. It stared at us for a while, hid behind the tree trunk and then walked away. It reminded me of a cat in the way it seemed to pretend "Oh, I wasn't never planning to climb in that tree, you silly human".
