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.

What can I say Jim, you did it again, a wonderful shot.
Popped my pic at my site, just another thing to see, it's nice to see who you talk to I think.
Hi Eric-
Nice picture, you're looking pretty good for an old coot!
:~)
You asked about my camera in a previous comment. It's a 5 megapixel Canon S2IS, and I have the telephoto and wide angle lenses for it.
The telephoto extender allows me to get these close-ups of the animals. I took this one from our deck this morning (about 25 feet from the subject) while I was having my coffee.
Nice shot.
We've had loads of squirrels buggering up our bird feeders the past month. I guess their food supply is running short.
its funny how some peole love to hate squirrels. I dont get them here, too much of a conrete jungle, although I know they are about not too far away. actually there have been hardly any birds feeding this winter, either its so mild they don't need to or the increasing amount of hedges being ripped out has taken them further away. one disadvantage of living in an almost car-park?
Love the light and shadow, lines in the tail fur, lines in the pine...
excellent photograph!
Gorgeous photo. I'm sure he's a delight to watch.
I just looked at your squirrel and bird photos. They are some *beautiful* critter shots. Squirrels are mischievous little devils, but I gladly share my birds' chow with them. I buy unsalted peanuts and pile them on the porch rail for the little guys. (And for the blue jays and the woodpeckers, all great peanut munchers.) Thanks for your beautiful photos! I really love and appreciate your blog. It is such a wonderful bright spot!
