This little guy ran across the road in front of me.  I had to stop and get some mug shots for J walking.

Thanks, I was just south of Kirkfield.  I parked my motorcycle and followed him into the cemetery.  I know that porcupines can't really shoot their quills, but I was still very nervous.  I remember how much my dog hated having them pulled out of his nose.
