Photo Adventures with Curiosity and Learning

Yesterday there was rain - I arrived about 6:15 and it was raining and cold. I set out breakfast and water and waited - after 20- 30 minutes an opossum passed by, sniffing and did not partake of breakfast. Mrs Raccoon never showed up - here is the Opossum

This morning I arrived at about 6 am - I set out breakfast and walked back to the path. As soon as I turned on my flashlight - she was there eating. Must have been waiting for me.

Sniffing for leftovers

After breakfast - time for a stroll. This is the first time she has not returned to the forest

Looking at me (about 1 yard away)

Turns and walks away - I guess she thinks I'm not a threat

Standing and searching for something

Looking for leftovers

She returns and looks at me again

Leaving for good
