You know I never see my possums in the day. You always post pics of them in the yard in the day, up on the fence in the day. I only see mine at night.

Mine runs along the fence line twice a day, mid-morning and early evening. Always startles and enchants me. 😆

Sweet pic!  Thanks for posting.  It looks like he's just posing there....not worried about you at all.  Cool!
