Baby Possum
It was a good thing I was here this afternoon -- I learned we have a family of possums nearby.
Baby possum was wandering our deck and encountered cactus. He or she learned cactus is not good to eat, no fun to climb and generally not very friendly.
For a sense of the size of the possum the cactus pot in the following slide show is about 3.5 inches high.

About an hour later I saw a baby possum about 100 feet away from the deck towards the bayou. I don't know if it was the same baby or another but in either case I did not witness any parental supervision. Where's mom?
