Jimmy peeks around a tree from both ends

I was very discouraged. For one thing, I had been roaming about with my camera and I had taken some brilliant pictures, fantastic images, probably the best I had ever shot in my life, images that would be remembered, admired and awed over for all time. But damnit!!! I had forgotten to put a memory card back in my camera after my last download, so these brilliant images did not get recorded!

So I came home to sulk and cook hot dogs for Margie and me. It was sunny and warm, so we ate at the backyard picnic table and Jim came out, too. After a bit, he strolled to the back of the yard, into the trees. I followed him, because I do not want to lose him. I did not carry my camera, just my iPhone - one does not need to worry about memory cards with an iPhone.

I was very surprised - and a little bit shocked - when he took a peek back at me from both sides of this tree.

Jimmy!

 

Please, if anyone is tempted, don't upload this to LOLCats or anywhere else... links are good...

That is priceless!! Glad you knew it was Jimmy and not another kind of "kitty" with a white stripe down his back and tail obliterated by the tree, with his tail raised to attack! Glad it was daylight and you were hot on your pursuit. Whew!

Mrs Gunka - we have no skunks in Alaska - save for a few of the home sapiens species.
