    A recent visitor...

    This little guy has been showing up on a lot of evenings a little past sundown, but a few days ago he came around during the day so I could get a few shots. - TF

    Looks like he got his ear chewed in some fight or another. Wonderful shots.

    We keep our garbage in the garage. The Raccoons are worse than ‘possums.

    When the ‘possum first started coming around we were doing some construction/remodeling and had a giant dumpster sitting by the garage. I imagined him walking up to it, looking up and thinking, "heaven".

    Thanks for the comments.

    His ear does look a little ragged, but at least he got away.

    In the first shot, doesn’t he look like he should be a Popeye character? (Am I dating myself or what?)

    Cute little guys if you ask me. I had one that used to eat from my hands when I was in my 20's. I don't advise trying that though, they can really hurt you if they want to
