Tense Encounter
My back door is glass and looks out on an open breezeway between my back yard and side yard. It has become an urban game trail of sorts with feral cats, raccoons, possums, lizards and bugs to be seen at night. So I have a camera near by. Which is how I captured this tense encounter between Goliath, the alpha male possum that rules my yard and a youngster old enough to be living on its own. The teenager whirled and ran off right after this shot. Thanks to my indoor cats & the wild critters trying to look thru the door, the glass always seems to be dirty when I take these shots but you can see what was going on.
