Lots of Stripes

So I'm about to put my contact lenses in and head to the pool this morning, and I look out in my backyard and see this family of skunks coming onto the lawn from the back flower bed. My guess is they have a nice home under the rotting shed in my white trash neighbor's yard. I had smelled skunk a few days ago, and now I know where the smell came from! They came into my yard and they were just playing, all the while with their tails straight up in the air like flags! I did my best to get decent shots between all the running around they were doing, the lighting and trying not to spook them. They were really cute, but of course, I decided to hold off on venturing out there until they went back to sleep or wherever they went. They were sure cute, and pretty hard to miss against the deep green of the lawn.

When I was ready to get CF out of the garage, I looked back there one more time and saw a flash of stripes in the foliage, and decided I'd better get out of dodge.
