little critter

When I was out taking photos of Ralph Mennemeyer's State Champion Bitternut Hickory I spotted this guy nearby. He climbed up a tree only 5 feet high and was just looking at me. It was a pretty cool moment because normally you see opossums at night and they look ugly but this guy has a nice look to him.
