Biodiversity at its best

So many things to see in even a tiny space.

I needed to fix the network switch at the top of our little hill yesterday. On my walk up the hill, and down the hill, and up the hill, and (well 3 trips...) I was really paying attention to the plants. We try to harvest whatever we can from our own property for use in our products, so I'm always on the lookout. My 3 trips up and down the hill covered about 2700 square feet (or about the same as a 3 bed 2 bath suburban home) and in just that much space, I found so many amazing things.

Our ranch is about 26.5 acres (or around 1.1 MILLION square feet), imagine how many wonderful plants, animals, birds, and bugs YOU could find.
