I have been forgetting to refill my water softener with salt for the past two days, so tonight I bought some salt and had Max hold a flashlight for me while I filled the softener.

Walking back to the back door along the side of the house, Max was swinging the flashlight around and the beam passed over the top of the fence.  Staring down at him was an opossum sitting on the top of the fence.  Max squealed and ran into the house faster than I have ever seen him move.  Certainly faster than when I tell him to take out the trash!  Well, the flashlight went with Max, leaving me in the dark.  I scooted past and joined Max in trying to take a picture through the window.  It was like trying to photograph Bigfoot!  Here is a sample what we ended up with.

Oops, flash is on.

Too much zoom

Bad light placement

Right on.
