Description
I was walking up to the door at the school where I worked one morning when I looked up to see this curious juvenile opossum staring down from the branch of a tree. It continued watching me as I opened the door and went in, so I went to my room where I had a camera and returned. Still there. I got several shots - it obviously had not learned that it's a nocturnal, wild creature.
