Skunks seldom if ever spray unless they feel seriously threatened. Moving in close I was more concerned with the little critter fleeing than I was of his double barrel.
The skunk surprise was a good surprise but Saturday's other surprise was much less welcome, my computer crashed. I'm still working on getting back up & running with a new machine so my post will less frequent as I get used to the new machine and Photoshop CS5. I expect to be back to posting regularly in a week or so.
The skunk is a good looking animal,you are very brave.Hope the computer woes are corrected soon.

Coy, what a cutie! Good thing they have ammo on board or everyone would want one!
ReplyDeleteAs lethal as the llama only from the other end but sooo beautiful. He has such intelligence in his look.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you reacted quickly and got some good pictures. Isn't it a great feeling that they pick your place to visit?
Sorry about your computer. I've had my new photoshop for a while, but am still struggling with it and would prefer my old one back again.
We have skunks in our yard too - digging for grubs. They're quite pretty I think, and you're right, harmless unless threatened.
ReplyDeleteThank you for that picture! I just LOVE his/her face...so cute..
ReplyDeleteNice shot of your smelly little friend! Good luck with your new computer.
ReplyDeleteYou are much braver than I would be! The result was a great photo though. Good luck with your new computer. I am looking at getting a new one soon to replace my sluggish old beast, but the conversion process has me wanting to poke my head in the sand.
ReplyDeleteThats a great surprise! I've never shot a good photo of a skunk and am waiting for the day...
ReplyDeleteSorry for your crash Coy! These computers never let you relax, a new this and that is always pushing our brains to learn something new. It's supposed to be a good thing! Good luck!
Yikes! This looks way too close for me, even if he isn't feeling threatened!!!! Great capture.
