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.

how beautiful is that?To think that we are seeing less and less of our British native butterflies just makes me envious.
What a lovely picture this is!!
Jim, I remember me that you wrote you did not know how to put music on your blog. Find a link you like the music and inform me, I will find it's tag and will try to explain you, how you will do it.
Just gorgeous!

I am one who chases after butterflies trying to photograph them, but I can NEVER get my pictures to come out nearly as clear as your's.
