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.

Jim! Such a striking picture. Great use of your 5 ton birdbath, maybe I need to go get me one too!
Oh how nice it will be to see one of those come the end of March. Although I did see one here in December...strange!
howsabout a photo of that boulder birdbath?
Javaseeker-
Yeah, you should get one of these giant boulders, I got mine in trade for a pine-needle basket.
Deb-
Yes it's nice to have Robins here again too, they showed up within the past 2 weeks. I'm looking forward to getting a shot of one pulling a big fat worm out of the ground. ;~)
Pablo-
I'll try and get a nice picture of the boulder to post for you. One of these would fit in nicely at RoundRock, although ours is a bit more egg-shaped.
Nice photograph!
Paul-
Thanks.
This one and the Red-Shafted Flicker are probably the best bird photos I've taken to date.
