Late Night Skunk

From August 2nd. They like my place. The skunk entered the back yard and in the time it took me to post the picture to Facebook it appeared to vanish. Where did it go? The basement was open. There really aren't exits from the yard. So, I gingerly made the exit from the back gate easier to negotiate, in the hope the skunk took the hint and wanted the nickname Houdini.

Skunks are like polar bears. They really aren't seriously afraid of anyone and they go where they please
