Hi Friends,
This post is an entry into the weekly Show Us Your California contest hosted by 
Living in a temperate climate, being close to mountains, and the normal suburban environment lead to the opportunity for “critters” to be around. There are a wide variety - the biggest and baddest are mountain lions and coyotes, and bobcats, but there are plenty of skunks, raccoons, mice and possums. Here is one possum I found this week:
This guy was in my backyard hiding behind a barbecue. The outdoor cats that adopted us were acting strange when I got back from a night run, so I took a look. It was on the smaller side for a possum, so the cats might have killed it if they got to it. I kept the cats away and scared the possum, and it took off.
You never know what might show up in My California.
Thanks for coming by,
Brian
