Little Invaders

This past week we've seen baby opossums in our backyard.  There are at least two.

They usually appear late in the afternoon.  Didn't Mother explain the nocturnal thing?

A little camera shy.  This is also the face they show to my dogs who have been very good with them. These photos were shot in my daughter's "fairy hole."  It's a tree hollow that she adds fake flowers and stones to every Spring.  So she decided the opossums are friends with the fairies.  Nice thought; hope they don't make faces at the fairies!

Happy June!

    1. Yes, the adults aren't the cutest creatures in the world. My old Lab used to find them at night. He never hurt one, but they would "play dead" until my dad went out and got our dog in. Pretty funny. Hope you have a nice weekend too!
