The big dry we are living through impels some of our little critters in closer. We try to remember to keep water in the birdbaths out back. If I were a truly decent person, I'd keep a large dishpan full in the back yard. A skittish neighbor reported last week that a skunk was nosing around outside their house. I told him I expect our elegant little friend was simply looking for a drink and some dinner. The possum is a baby yet and still kinda cute in a rat-like way. He was dining on the vermin chow on the front porch and maybe looking for a sip of water. A grown possum is a pretty unattractive creature and certainly one of nature's dumbest children. It's amazing that the species has survived for so long, innit? Notwithstanding, it's fun to see them.

We keep a large bowl full of water in our backyard. Every morning there is a very dirty half-inch of water left. I think the possums and raccoons are trying to bathe in it at night to get cool, poor little things. I like your baby possum ~ great photo catch!
