The view from my back yard…. :eek:
I live North of Los Angeles in the Santa Monica Mountains and apparently on of the local kids was playing with fire today.

I could not believe how close this helicopter was and how precise the water drop was. As you can tell by my water mark this is not the type of photography
I usually do but when a big helicopter flies by 100 feet away of course I scrambled to get my camera
