Sometimes you look harmless while being curious. Sometimes you look a little strange. Sometimes you look suspicious.

But if it is a family of skunks being curious, that's adorable!

something in the brush and out comes the biggest skunk I've ever seen! I just backed away slowly and didn't spook it. It was less than 15 feet from me at eye level.

Sorry, but if I see skunks running towards me, I'm biking at full speed the other way! Dealt with too many puppers that have been sprayed. Not something I want to experience.

Then again, they are cute.

Once was out picking berries in my enclosed high bush blueberry patch, heard a rustling sound, looked down at my feet and there was mama skunk with babies in bunch like that. Awful cute, but I wasn't about to bend over an pet them. Fortunately they let me back away slowly.

I once almost ran into one with my bike.

The entrance to my apartment building smelled of rotting onions for weeks.

Perhaps she found the smell of the sneaker objectionable.

My wife is pretty sure that I am insane, because I like the smell of a skunk in the distance. I used to drive though a pine forest for 40 miles on my way to work. Most mornings I could get a good whiff of the perfume. We had a dog that got sprayed, and I will say that up close I did not like it....
