04.17.07 POSSUM PUP


The big storm of this past weekend washed some baby possums away from their nest. Hassled by neighbor dogs, they let out a steady "weep, weep" hoping for rescue. I set all five of them in a safe place where mom could find them again. Each possum baby held tightly to the grass with tiny fists as if it were it's mothers fur. A litter of five increases the odds that one or two will finally survive to continue to harvest the refuse of this residential area.
