Oh, that is just the cutest little thing! It looks like a baby. I guess you used the zoom lens, or you got really close!
Reminds me of the Bambi movie.

Yes, he was a baby. Not including the tail he was about 8 inches long nose to rump.

Last night around 8 we went out with a flashlight to check that he had gone from the open trap. He was gone, back off into the "wilderness" of our neighborhood.
He might decide to live under our barn. 
You're right, I should have called him Flower!Lisa

We used to have three adorable baby skunks and a mama that moved into a space under our apartment building in Los Angeles. It was a busy area, but there was a huge park nearby and the skunks seemed pretty happy in their spot. Eventually, the mom left the babies on their own. They stayed cute and grew up being fairly used to people. They would travel around in the cutest little line and never caused any problems with my dogs or the cats who hung around. HOWEVER... after they got pretty big, other skunks started coming around and they would all get into crazy fights in the yard. It's hard to believe the noises skunks make when they fight- it's almost scary. Although they always started fighting in the middle of the night, I wasn't sbout to run over and make them stop since I was afraid I would get sprayed.
In the end, they were moved back into the park and lived happily ever after (or at least I like to think they did).
Your picture made me smile. Thanks!
