While sitting outside in the garden, I noticed this helicopter, with a photographer in the open doorway, kept circling between Penasquitos and Rancho Santa Fe. Wonder who they were looking for?

While watering the garden this morning, PapaBear flooded the tunnels a gopher had dug last night into one of my flower garden beds.  The water drove the gopher out and through my garden where he met his demise at the hand's of my favorite gardener and his shovel.  Let's hope he was the only gopher.  I lost several of my flowers including some of my beautiful snapdragons.
