I can only imagine all the animals over the years that quietly watched me pass as I hiked trails unaware. Occasionally, I also catch a glimpse of them. Thus was the case with this common brushtail possum that I spotted while hiking in Coles Bay in Tasmania. These guys are strictly nocturnal, but this one obviously woke up from its daytime resting place to take a quick look at what those footsteps on the trail down below were all about. After I passed, I’m sure those eyes closed right back up for a few more hours until the sun went down. Nikon D810 with Nikkor 70-200mm lens (at 135mm) ISO 1600, f/2.8 at 1/100th of a second.
I like to think that somewhere out the internet, there’s a blog full of pictures that animals have taken of you: Sean Crane eating, Sean Crane sleeping, Sean Crane hiding in trees, Sean Crane playfully rolling in tall grass. I can almost see it now.
I’d like to think the same Louis. And perhaps it is out there somewhere. After all, I did stumble upon this blog years ago: http://thecraneevent.blogspot.com
Sweet image! My husband & I have spotted mountain lions only on a few occasions in our lives. We have often mused as to the number of times lions have watched us as we hiked, photographed, fished & camped in the Sierras.
