There are many groups you can blame for the tragedy of the 2016 election. You can blame white men, Bernie-or-Busters, evangelical Christians, etc. Actually, the election was so close that if a majority of even one group of people saw the light, Trump would be back in New York making passes at Ivanka and bankrupting […]
Marty’s photo of the day #2997: The Amazon Rainforest is burning, and while the Amazon has experienced major fires before, there is no doubt greedy right-wing politicians and nearly 40 years of climate change denial are major contributors to the devastation. With that in mind, this week I’m featuring photos I’ve taken of animals in […]

Even though Joe Biden isn’t my first choice for the Democratic nominee, I have a real problem with candidates going after him for things he said 30 to 40 years ago. Times were different back then, and people can—and should!—change. Let’s be honest: if you are over the age of 50 (no matter what your […]

Marty’s photo of the day #2994: The Amazon Rainforest is burning, and while the Amazon has experienced major fires before, I can’t help wondering how much greedy right-wing politicians and nearly 40 years of climate change denial have contributed to the devastation.

As Republicans resist securing voting machines and requiring paper ballot backups, I can’t help thinking: Wouldn’t it be ironic if instead of the Russians hacking for the Republicans the Chinese foil the Russians and win the hacking war on behalf of the Democrats? Should that happen, we must not let the Republicans get away with […]

Marty’s photos of the day #2990: A few weeks back I featured a photo of our resident wild peacock. Yesterday Deb and I were hiking on our land and we checked out Mr. Peacock’s favorite shed tree. Jackpot! We’ve been collecting the peacock’s feathers for years—they make stunning bouquets—but the key is to find them […]
Marty’s photo of the day #2988: Two of these birds visited Deb’s and my house yesterday. We knew they were grosbeaks, but what kind? When Deb couldn’t find the bird in our Audubon field guide, I searched the internet and found a close match at fieldguide.mt.gov. It’s an evening grosbeak in juvenile plumage.
Marty’s photo of the day #2987: My recent photos of the day have taken us to Africa, North America, Central America, the southern tip of South America, Antarctica, Australia, and Asia. My apologies to the Arctic for ignoring it. Let’s go there now. In this photo, I’m standing on a tiny island in the Arctic […]
Marty’s photo of the day #2984: I photographed this orchid in Costa Rica and spent a bit of time afterwards trying to identify it.
