Elusive gopher spotted.

I've blogged about how the gophers are tearing up my yard, but I never see them.

My four nephews recently came out to visit me, and were intrigued by all the holes. Of course they wanted to see a gopher. The last time I had spotted a gopher was in 2006 in Golden Gate Park, so I figured their chances were slim.

I took the kiddos to see the bison in Golden Gate Park, but they were hiding in the back of the park, way out of sight.

But a gopher came out to play. Ok, it's not a good photo, but you'll have to trust me that this little guy was not shy, and popped in and out of his hole for a good 15 minutes.
