It maybe that the summer is dry or just a lucky day, but this morning when I was coming back to cross the river I saw a doe and her fawn--high on the cute meter--and a skunk on the bridge--low on the cute meter--hawks, screaming and and cawing...all within a few hundred yards.
The skunk was funny...the bridge is an expanded steel single lane bridge with two very skinny walking rails on each side. I saw him up ahead and am about halfway through the bridge and had to stop as he waddles off. Well a car comes along so I stand to the side and point...the cars slows and understands I think.
So finally I get to run past as he heads down the bank. That is right where I got sprayed...the only time ever and was a very dark morning and I did not even see him. I think I got hit with one drop that day...and it lasted all day through every thing I could put on it. Ugh...skunks. The worst.
The fawn was super cute though.
