Rare Daytime Possum Carries Baby on Back!

I'm originally from Ohio, seeing Possum at night rummaging through trash or crawling out of sewers is a regular occurrence. I was spending the day with my husbands family, enjoying some time outside when I saw this mother Possum scurrying across the yard in broad daylight!

It was a beautiful day, sun shining brightly and quite peaceful. I imagine mom knew something I didn't and had to transport the babe on the fly. I sat and watched her run across the yard, finding shelter under the neighbors shed where it was dark. I gave up waiting after about ten minutes, expecting to see her emerge to transport more babies. It was dumb luck that I had my camera out and I'm really glad I was able to capture this rare sight.

As always I appreciate you spending time with me today. I would also like to give a warm welcome to my new followers! I hope you have a fantastic rest of your day and I look forward to seeing you tomorrow.
