(Photo) Morton Grove skunk

Yesterday while running through Morton Grove's Miami Woods I encountered a nursing fawn. Today I only had to run two blocks--to the Lincoln Avenue bridge over the Edens Expressway--to find the skunk on the right.

As you can see I got very close--about five feet away--but the skunk was below me. The critter didn't feel threatened, because as you know, I love everyone. So of course I didn't get sprayed.
