Urban Wildlife - Golden Gate Park, San Francisco
Lens: Pentax 18-135 Camera: K5 Photo Location: San Francisco, CA 
Posted By: sealonsf, 11-14-2016, 05:27 PM

I had quite the surprise when taking photos of ducks in a small lake in Golden Gate Park this weekend - I turned around and two raccoons were approaching me from the lake. I had just a few seconds to snap some photos before a dog came by and scared the raccoons back into the water. Raccoons can attack so it's best to keep your distance. But these two totally charmed me. I'm a sucker for cute.

It was one of those beautiful fall days that make visitors to San Francisco want to move here.

Some great shots there sealonsf! The sharpness of that 18-135 is incredible on the K5. I have something to aim for now with my recent 18-135 acquisition.

Thanks! The 18-135 is a good lens - the problem is that I hardly ever want to take it off my camera so my other lenses are feeling neglected.
