Thanksgiving Day morning we were up early because we had to travel to feast with family. I went out before dawn to see if the paper had arrived and as I walked back down the driveway I heard rustling in the leaves that are piled up under the maple trees along the driveway. For a second or two, I thought it was a cat .... and then it dawned on me it was probably a skunk. It was so dark, it was hard to see exactly what was going on. I quickly got back to the house & grabbed the camera. Once if figured out how to turn the flash on, I started snapping pictures. It was a young skunk (family of 5 babies this summer in the brush pile) and he was really rooting around in the leaves - not scared of me one bit, nor the camera flash although I noticed that the only part of his anatomy that was mosly facing my way was the 'business' end. Definitely Critterville around here!

 

Yes, I tempted fate and got pretty close!
