Twilight visitors

When the Sun is below the horizon, photographing animals becomes more difficult. Consequently, most of my pictures are taken during daylight. Yet, because humans are so active during the day, other mammals often prowl in the dark. Racoon, skunk, coyote, deer, and bear, all seem to prefer either twilight or nighttime hours.

Below are two recent visitors to the ground below a tree I occasionally watch. The bear, about to scarf an apple, came by late one evening; the deer, with an apple already in its mouth, came by early one morning.
