Company In The Night

My flash caught them looking at me. I hold the camera away from my face, off to the side, when using the flash a night, so that I can see all the eyes up in the trees, and in the periphery, too. The light in the view finder messes up my night vision, so I hold it away from myself and don’t look at it. However, when the flash goes, I can see all the eyes, and glowing things for an instant. To the right, up high, out of the frame, are a ‘possum’s red eyes looking like a vampire, suspended … creepy. Whenever I turned the camera in his direction, he ducked his head behind the tree trunk, or a large branch. I’m not sure who the down low red eyes belong to. They were in several frames, then disappeared, though the green and yellow eyes of the deer were joined by a few more.
