In Hiding - or so he thinks.

I actually didn't even crop this a whole lot - we were that close together! I was backing up to get the shot. Had watched this possum wander for a while from across the creek, then he was still there when I finished my walk so I decided to try for a shot. He headed for the brush on the hillside above the creek, looked down like he was going to go down and cross over. Seemed to scare him so he came back up and just kind of cowered down and let me shoot away. Have a full shot of him in my extra album. http://365project.org/milaniet/2013-extras

I've never seen a possum - not even in a book! Lovely shot.

@dulciknit I had to come home and show the picture to my husband to ask him what I shot! Hadn't seen one up close before either.

lol! it cracks me up that they think they are really blending in and hidden from you! But he does blend well with the winter foliage! Great Shot Milanie! :)

There is a wonderful emotion to this shot. You have captured his vulnerability. I like the bits of raindrops ... such a sweet shot.

Aww that's a fantastic shot!

This is the second photo I have seen today of a possum wandering about in the daylight. It is so strange. Great shot of him. He is kind of cute:)

Awwwwwwwwwww this is cute in a weird sort of way. He looks so soft.
