Postcard from the Backyard
One of my major goals in this topic area is to encourage gardeners to discuss what they are doing in their gardens and to share information and experience. With that in mind I will send you occasional 'postcards' from the backyard to let you know what I am up to in my garden and to stimulate discussion on what you are doing in yours.

Beneficial Insects: A Boon to Butterflies and Gardeners!

Ecological Footprints
Step in the mud or wet beach sand and you leave footprints. Children leave little ones. Adults leave big ones. Wildlife leaves footprints of various shapes and sizes too. Apparently nations leave footprints too--ecological footprints. So do states, cities, businesses and households, and our print is much bigger than it should be.

Ketchikan,Sporting Ladies & a Raven that Steals the Sun & Moon
Rainy Ketchikan is often called Totem Town, because of it's large collection of Totem poles, native museums and cultural centers. Perched on piers and clinging to the steep slopes of Revillagigedo Island, this quaint town, has many interesting and scenic tourist sites, native cultural centres and excellent shopping for native arts and crafts, curios, specialty clothing, gold jewelry and gems. After a unique and personal tour, it's back to the ship for Chocolate Decadence Night. It's time to say Goodbye to Alaska and head home.
