About Me
- 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.

this looks like good kayaking country, but like here just a bit too chilly! what camera and zoom are you using? I have a fuji finepix 610, I think its 6x zoom and 3 of that is digital.
clairesgarden-
Yes, we do kayak here in the warmer months, and my camera is a Canon PowerShot S2 IS with 12X optical zoom, and for this shot I had the wide-angle converter attached.
You live in one of the most beautiful areas on this planet; though very cold!
I admire too, your lifestyle and being so close to nature; while more and more people believe the auto is a necessity in life, you have got rid of yours!
Nothing soothes the soul and relaxes the mind, as much as being close to nature.
thankyou for the camera info, your photo's are great!
