The 'Game On' series features a group of raccoons playing a game of marbles, and carefully holding the marbles in their paws.
The 'Game On' series has been re-imaged so that the 'brat pack' of raccoons are surrounded by colorful marbles and the chalk circle to play a game of marbles. In reality, the raccoons had crept onto a back porch to steal some dog kibble left outside. The raccoons hold the marbles (in the re-imaged photos) so delicately in their tiny paws.
Lona Walburn retouched all the photos to replace the kibble with marbles, while Brett Isaacson shot the original photos. The 'Game On' series is both amusing and adorable, with the close up of the raccoons' faces show how emotive their eyes are.
