a place to be

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.

The pine needle basket looks interesting. I look forward to seeing the rest of the steps. What kind of pine needles are you using? How long are they?
I have an abundance of pine needles, here, plus willow and birch bark. Perhaps I'll try my hand at this some day.
Nice photo. Did you take this with the macro or supermacro? (I still haven't read the manual...)
OW-
The needles are from Jeffrey and Ponderosa pines and average about 9 inches in length.
Hi Stefani-
You're welcome
Deb-
Come to visit and I'll give you lessons accompanied by a few good beers.;~)
Norene-
Thanks, this one was taken in standard macro with the flash.
