Opossum in the daylight
Walking from one bus stop to another a couple weeks ago, I saw this opossum cruising next to an office building. I've seen a bunch of opossums over the years, but never during daylight, when I had a camera. So I took a few shots at a distance, and tried to get closer, for a decent shot. I got within about 12-15 feet to get these shots. Pretty cool. There seemed to be insects it was eating in the damp area around that tree, so it didn't get too freaked out by me getting a bit close.
Maybe it's just me, but this head on shot reminds me of Michael Keaton's face as Beetlegeuse in the movie. Weird. Below is a shot before it walked out from behind the tree. You can see its tail well here. Did you know opossum's are the only marsupial in North America? Now you do. They carry their young in pouches like kangaroos.
