They're naturally curious and friendly creatures, and they love food. My chickens had spilled some sunflower seeds where I was, and the skunks were eating them. I feed them, so they're used to me.

Here's three of them:

20. Skunks ALWAYS have the right-of-way!

I once had a family of four of them (Mom, 3 kits) walk over the toe of my boots in the woods. Winter-time, I'm out looking for a calf, and I see them strolling along, totally oblivious to my presence. Recalling the above rule, I stopped walking to let them go by, and they took a slight turn toward me. I didn't dare move, of course. All four of them walked over my toes and kept on going, like I was just a bump in the path. made my day!

They'll spray each other but they seem to like me just fine ... but I'm the one who puts out food for them

difficult it is to capture night shots, especially with lousy cameras (that would be me); I loved these pics!

a dragon is holding the moon. Can you see his hand?

Cool shots. It was too cloudy here to see anything but the muted glow behind the clouds.

I was working late on Monday over in Oakland and when I finally got out to see the moon it was just like your photos. Unfortunately by the time I got home to grab my camera the clouds thickened up and no go for a good shot. Glad you got some! They're great!
