Dad! Dad! I can herd them!
Marty’s photo of the day #4100: “This is the moment I’ve been training for, Dad! I can herd them. Just tell me where you want them to go!”—Nellie Since Nellie is one-half Australian cattle dog, she practices herding me all the time. But with real live range cows in the American Prairie Reserve, she really, […]
Montana GOP: Sic the dogs on ’em
Marty’s photo of the day #3605: This year, with Republicans holding overwhelming power in every Montana state office, I wasn’t as active about speaking out against their actions as I have in the past. That’s because of the helplessness of knowing these cruel, proudly-Christian people were going to do whatever they damn well pleased, and […]
Black bear close-up
Marty’s photo of the day #3540: Yeah, I used a telephoto lens for this. Still, it’s always exciting to be hiking and encounter a black bear.
Yes, he’s was a “big boy”
Marty’s photo of the day #3497: To preserve my reputation as an ethical wildlife photographer, I always divulge when I digitally manipulate a photo beyond color and light levels. In this instance, I came across this bear while hiking in Yellowstone National Park and paralleled him for a bit. Suddenly, he reared up on his […]
The “brown” black bear
Marty’s photo of the day #3327: I photographed this “brown” black bear while hiking in Yellowstone National Park a little over a year ago.
A bear and her tree
Marty’s photo of the day #3085: “I didn’t touch the tree. I promise!” (Black bear, photographed in Yellowstone National Park)
Hiking away from the crowds
Marty’s photo of the day #2924: Most people who go to Yellowstone National Park never leave the main roads. I think that’s great, because it makes it easy to hike away from the crowds. I photographed this black bear last month on one of those hikes.
The prettier bear
Marty’s photo of the day #2886: Yesterday, I shared a story about essentially hiking into two black bears in a narrow Yellowstone National Park valley. The photo (see #2885) with that post showed the male bear, with a black coat. This photo shows his companion, with a brown coat. This bear didn’t stand up to […]
Bear-ly too close
Marty’s photo of the day #2885: Last weekend, in Yellowstone National Park, we were going to hike up an old-favorite closed road that Deb and I had hiked before. Then I spotted an unmarked trail going off to the side and suggested we follow it instead. The trail went into a narrow valley and eventually […]
Black bear standing
Marty’s photo of the day #2882: I don’t often miss posting a photo of the day, but Deb, Fiona, and I are in Yellowstone National Park, and yesterday morning we were up early to drive into the Lamar Valley. Now is the time when the locals do Yellowstone, because you can see the park before […]
Black bear
Marty’s photo of the day #2414: I completely forgot about this picture. This is a black bear, photographed several years ago in my backyard, with my motion-sensing camera.
