Striped skunk, close (21303507080)

Description:

Description: Sometimes as a photographer, I don't make the wisest decisions. Usually it's a light or angle or exposure mis-hap. However, today my risk assessment wasn't fully completed before I poked my head out the office door. After pressing the shutter a few times I was left wondering if the smell was going to last. But who can resist a skunk only 10 feet in front of your office door?! Just a warning to any visitors this week - the Cokeville Meadows office might stink a bit for the next few days. Credit: K.
