I miss live music
Marty’s photo of the day #3373: I miss live music! This is Grace Potter, photographed at the Wilma in Missoula a few years ago. The next concert I plan to attend is Nightwish at the Wiltern in Los Angeles at the beginning of October 2021. Will October 2021 be too soon? I guess it depends […]
Three our of four ain’t bad

Arctic scenic
Marty’s photo of the day #3369: For this photo, I am standing on a hill in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, looking south toward the Brooks Range and the Jago River. Thirty-five miles to the north is the Arctic Ocean, and a day after taking this photo, Deb and I would begin a canoe trip […]
A nature host’s last words
Marty’s photo of the day #3368: From the final episode of The Aussie Hands-on Naturalist, the Animal Planet channel’s latest attempt to recreate the magic of Steve Irwin’s The Crocodile Hunter: “G’day mate!

Sedona scenic
Marty’s photo of the day #3367: During a college tour a few years ago, I ended up driving through Sedona, Arizona when a snowstorm hit. The contrast of the white on the red rocks made the already scenic area even more scenic.

Parque Regional de la Sierra de Gredos
Marty’s photo of the day #3362: One of my favorite hikes in Spain was in Parque Regional de la Sierra de Gredos. Deb and I pretty much had the place to ourselves. Well . . . us and a small herd of Spanish ibex. It was wonderful!
Lions on the prowl
Marty’s photo of the day #3361: Look closely and you’ll see lions on both sides of the Cape buffalo. Overall, five lionesses took part in the hunt. Deb and I watched for about forty-five minutes, but the lions never moved in for a kill. Photographed in Zimbabwe.

Adélie penguin

And then the hippo bit . . .
Marty’s photo of the day #3356: My sixth book, Hits, Heathens, and Hippos: Stories from an Agent, Activist, and Adventurer, is complete and will be published sometime next year. In that book, I share a hilarious story about Montana’s Democratic Governor Brian Schweitzer “coercing” me into paying way, way too much for a signed Hillary […]
