Last night, the Possum left tracks, as
they quietly made their way from their home to the compost, for a cold late
night dinner. Tossing bits of food here and there, looking for something good.
Today, getting up from resting, I saw
their beautiful furred self in the compost, went to grab my camera, slippers
on, and high-tailed it out the door, into the yard, and driveway, to catch a
glimpse , hoping to take care and not scare them too much.
I love Possums. I do.
Brought many a baby to rehabilitators.
This little boy is barely a teenager, but
has made it through the tough tough winter, probably because the Coywolves
stopped coming by, with the deep snow.
This afternoon I caught sight of his
silver-grey fur, his pink pink self, as he made his slow careful way from the
compost,across the driveway, past the cottage, out into the woods. Beautiful.
Ah, the 1/2 second movie
His tracks, from last night. And yeah, it's a boy!
Nice catch! Love the wonderful possum, too
ReplyDeleteThank! Its so easy to forget that we are just one of many, in our neighborhoods. Part of why winter is so cool- all the tracks that let us know who we all are, living together.
