Spring did not make an appearance, this weekend, despite the calendar. That's not to say this girl didn't get out and ride and see some wildlife. One of my close encounters was with a striped skunk as it ran across my path in a local, suburban neighborhood. No, I did not stop to get a better look with my
monocular, not would I have used a
binocular had I been carrying one. There are times when discretion is more important than optics. Besides, the skunk did not appear to be in too much of a hurry. Can't say the same for myself.
