Some Backyard Wildlife

Well, we may have deer at our new house, but we have opossums on our deck here. This guy (girl?) was really rooting around for food and had found something (probably ants) that it was eating when I saw it. I took this picture about 5 feet from it and it had its teeth bared at me. I tried to get a little closer (fool!) and it took off across the deck and jumped off. It fell 11 feet with a thud! But it waddled off and went under the Henrickson's shed. I guess it wasn't hurt. Cool!
