Perfect for Black and White Challenge!
I had something else for this morning but the hubby woke me with, “Do you want a picture of a skunk?” I change my plans. I believe the skunk in Bambi was named Flower, right?
If you read yesterday’s post you know I left food out for the cat, that’s the paper in the foreground, here. Probably why the black and white kitty came so close.
Photography note: I broke one of the iPhone shooting rules “don’t zoom/crop later. I got excited and wanted to see her up close. She came 4 feet from the back door and then I held my breath for more than one reason.
We may live in San Francisco Bay area but we live close to the Nature of Albany Hill.
Cee’s Black and White Challenge asks for Animals so I am double-dipping this post to include a pingback to her site. She has Black and White photo tips today June 4 check her out
To everyone in and around the Ba Area: Thanks you for kind comments the iPhotography Exhibit is a smash around here.
Happy Sally D’s Mobile Photography Challenge: Black and White

Skunk on the deck! – Isn’t she wonderful.
It reminds me of the time I was watching my three cats romp around the back yard in the evening. As I rounded them up to come back into the house for the night, I counted four little beauties – you guessed it, one of them was the neighborhood skunk.

I love the first and second photos the best, they look rather painterly. Perfect for black and white. I think the animals are coming out of the “wilds” to find water…. Surprise! They don’t know we’re rationing. Won’t be able to make the exhibit. I hope you’ll post some photos of the exhibit and introduce us to the work of your students; that would be a treat.

So funny! I love the story as much as the photos. Laughed at your husband’s response; my kids also come running for me when there’s a not-to-be-missed photo op.

The skunk was named Flower in Bambi. One of my favorite kid movies….except the ending.
I’m glad you changed your plans and captured the skunk. How fun it must have been. 🙂

Thought so about Flower. A skunk family seem to have taken up residents behind my garage…If I leave them alone they will return the favor, I hope
