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.

I lovely, exotic sight! Love all the detail I can see here & beautiful colors. You take wonderful nature photos, Jim!
Oh, what a beautiful picture.
The last four photos you have posted are intensely beautiful. So beautiful, in fact, that they brought tears to my eyes. All I can say is, "Thank you for sharing them." Just lovely. Kathy in Ky
I had a similar poppy bloom earlier in the year , beautiful colours and textures.
this is one of the few lovely things that seems to grow equally well in the cold north. but your pictures are better than mine
