Peek-A-Boo Possum

Don't often come across these guys in daylight. But as I was a-wandering along,this young one suddenly peeked thru the foliage!
Imaged with a Nikon F-100 and Tamron 200-500mm telephoto zoom.

What good luck to run across this guy during daylight, you must have disturbed its beauty sleep :biggrin:
This is one that's on my wish list, along with the raccoon. Good details, I like the way it's hangin' in there.
Great catch :toast:

Hi Jeff,

Good catch on this one! The title matches the image quite well - one of the first things I thought when I looked at this one was how I liked how it looked to be emerging from the foliage. When I checked out the larger version it seemed just a bit soft (sharpness-wise) in the nose to eye region, but not so much as to be a deal-breaker.

Cheers..thanks for sharing this...
