I had given up on getting an action shot for ONS today when I heard a noise outside the office window. This little fellow was making his nightly run from his house in the tamarind tree across the roof and down this tree fern for a drink from a water fountain in the garden. I know it's barely an action shot but he was on his way back up the tree when I shot this. Have to take what action we can get on a Friday night, especially when it's a one night stand!!
Awe :) Such a cutie. I think possums are wonderful creatures, but this sentiment is not shared by many. A local woman has been harvesting for pelts...I nearly cried when I found out.
@aurorajane@aurorajane This little rascal and it's mum has stripped my mango tree of every mango (there weren't many) but when I realised over a few days they ate every last piece of the mango I didn't mind so much. At least they aren't wasters like the darn flying foxes. It is a shame about the woman harvesting but I know they must be pests for some people. We don't mind and think they're rather cute too
@bella_ss When i was still going to school our neighbour (dairy farmer) had heaps of them tearing across his roof each night (.No sleep) so he takes shotgun to bed and when possums started he lined up and blew a hole through the ceiling & roof.he never got the possum !!!
@skstein thanks Sandy, I think what happened is the torch my husband was holding gave a warm colour cast to the front of him. I didn't change any colours :)
