Skunk at the birdbath


A family of skunks comes out at dusk in our backyard to root around in the lawn. This skunk got a drink of water from the birdbath. Even though the yard light was on, it was still too dark to see this guy through the viewfinder. All I could make out was the ripple of water where the skunk was drinking, but that was enough to focus on and then hit it with the flash.

That is a gem!
He was too thirsty to be startled by the flash?
Or did you get sprayed?
