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.

that is stunning.
I'm not having much luck trying to do anything with photoshop or coreldraw. no patience!
Hi. I just wanted to say I've been lurking by way of CG's site and I really love your work and your outlook. When my day is awful or just much too much I come over here and look at your pictures and read. I especially loved the video of the hailstorm. We had one up here in Connecticut awhile back that lasted a good 30 minutes and left hailstones the size of peas and golf balls. Haven't seen that here since the late seventies.
That is quite spectacular Jim. I haven't got that far in my photoshop experience yet but it's nice to see some of the things one can achieve. :)
Ooh, I love hollyhocks, but I'd never really noticed that they have stars in their centers, how neat!
Wow, that's a beautiful photo! I love pink and orange together.
