Saw this news tidbit on SFGate.com. Guess I’m not the only one having a difficult time finding LED lights in stores around Christmas time. Second year in a row for me. Right now might be a good time to buy online from places like HolidayLEDs.com. Ooh, multi-colored mini lights are on sale. Also check out their recycling program!

Sadly, I’m neither under 40 nor a Power Player (whatever that is)… but I do happen to be the focus of Sacramento Magazine’s one-page Garden Notebook in the January, 2008 issue.
Garden Notebook is written by Joan Waters, Sac Mag’s new garden writer. She and I chatted about my stock horticultural photography over coffee and cookies in my backyard awhile back. Be sure to check out Joan’s new column, and in case you didn’t catch it, she wrote about backyard birds last month and has covered other topics for Sac Mag in the past.
Click on the photo below for a sampling of January articles.
I scanned the Garden Notebook page and saved it as a JPEG. Click on the photo below to see a larger version. Or you can do what I did and pick up a copy while standing in line with the Christmas hordes at Borders Books, Raley’s, etc.
Oh, and the location was Hortus Botanicus, not Bontanicus. Just a little typo. Ok, and one more correction (i.e. nit pick)… my photos are on a site built for me by Acclaim Images, not built by me. Just had to get that out. I’m a stickler for details.

Famed northern California mushroom photographer, Taylor Lockwood, found a fun(gal) solution to the real versus fake Christmas tree dilemma.
By the way, his books make great Christmas presents. His latest title is Chasing the Rain, which was recently profiled in the Washington Post.
