Granted the opossum is probably a long-shot to make anyone’s list for the Michigan Wildlife Hall of Fame. However, when I passed by this critter perched on the fence next to the path on which I was walking this morning, I was momentarily in awe. A ‘possum, on a fence, just feet away, posing for me. Wow! Delightful!

On that same walk I interrupted this group having a drink in the creek. From the look they gave me, they might have been saying, “Oh, dear!” or maybe “Oh, human!” I thought, “Wow! Delightful!”
I guess we never know what may cross our paths in the course of a day. Maybe a posing possum or drinking deer can bring a smile. Then again maybe one who is dear will brighten the day and bring unexpected delight.
Today’s gift.
