A Morning Hike

Click on photo to enlarge

Peggy and I went up to explore this picturesque little waterfall alongside the Santa Ana River Trail at about 7 A.M. on our well-deserved hike today.
Sunrise was at 6:47 so it was still quite dark down in this canyon and I had to use a flash to get this picture.
The heavy snows of last winter and our wonderful monsoon summer have kept even some of the smaller tributaries of the Santa Ana River flowing nicely for this late in the season.
Just the sound of falling water refreshes the spirit...

Thanks for the compliment on my spider web photo--as you can see from my name I'm rather fond of spiders, especially garden spiders.

I bookmarked your blog after reading your profile. Your lifestyle is something that I respect very much although I'm not yet there myself--anyone living purposefully car-free and organically in this day and age deserves EVERYONE'S respect.; 7:29 PM

: Name: Jim; Location: of Jim and Peg's Habitat Home, High In The Mountains Of Southern California

We are a car-free retired couple living in a small 950 sq ft mountain cabin on less than 1/4 acre at 6,750 ft elevation. The native plant habitat we established on the property now exceeds 100 species and we grow organic vegetables on a small portion of the yard. In our continuing efforts toward simple, sustainable and rewarding lives we bid our last car "Good Riddance" in January of 1997. Earth Home Garden represents what we love in life; our bountiful planet EARTH and all her natural diversity; our cozy little cabin HOME and the family it has sheltered for 29 years; and the GARDEN around us which nurtures so many native creatures and helps feed us as well. It's our PLACE TO BE........... ***NOTICE*** Unless otherwise stated, all photos and text posted here are the copyrighted property of Jim Otterstrom, who hereby grants permission to re-print or re-publish his work, freely, for non-commercial purposes, so long as it is un-altered and credit is given.
