Opossum, Forest 44 Conservation Area, Fenton, MO, United States
Playing Possum?

Species: Opossum | Location: Forest 44 Conservation Area, Fenton, MO, United States

Late in the afternoon on a cold March day a light snow still covering parts of the woodland floor an Opossum stood motionless on a log, the sun glistening on his back, perhaps hoping I wouldn't notice him.

About The Photographer

I am passionate about hiking and photography. I look for ways to capture and share the beauty in nature that is often missed.
