But where’s Mom?
Marty’s photo of the day #4016: This is an amethystine python that I photographed on a night hike through the rainforest of northern Queensland, Australia. He was about 7 feet-long, but somewhere in this forest was Mom, at 23 feet-long. If only I could find her.
Bison vs. Cow
Montana or British Columbia?
Marty’s photo of the day #4014: Here’s a scenic shot I took between rainstorms in British Columbia. For much of this spring, today’s photo could have just as easily been shot in Montana.
Stashed fawn
Marty’s photo of the day #4013: It’s baby animal time on the Essen Wildlife Refuge. Yesterday morning, a doe ran right up to my dog, Nellie, and me, trying to distract us, and then last night, my wife, Deb happened to step outside just in time to see likely the same deer stash her fawn. […]

The cutest little crab
Flowers of waves
Marty’s photo of the day #4010: All the rain this year has made for spectacular waves of wildflowers at the Essen Wildlife Refuge, surrounding Deb’s and my house.

Three months of April
Marty’s photo of the day #4009: My wife, Deb, and I live in the Bitterroot Valley of Montana, where, other than the far-right politics, there may not be a better place to live in the contiguous 48 states. Still, it seems that wherever a person lives, some bad always comes with the good. We’ve lived […]
The coast of Costa Rica
Marty’s photo of the day #4007: This photo is from a beautiful morning, when Deb and I kayaked along the coast of Costa Rica.
Pill millipede
Hey Right-Wingers!
Marty’s photo of the day #4005: Hey, Right-wingers! My wife and I canoed the Zambezi River in Zimbabwe, passing two thousand hippos over three days—including this one. And us two liberals did it without weapons of any kind in our canoe. So my question to you is this: Why are we such “snowflakes,” when you […]
Arizona scenic
Marty’s photo of the day #4004: I haven’t posted a scenic photo for a while. Here’s one I took a few years ago, while on a college speaking tour in Arizona. I was driving between gigs, when a snowstorm hit. I had some time, so I parked the car and went hiking for a while.
Nighttime croc
Marty’s photo of the day #4003: An American crocodile pays an after-dark visit to Blackbird Caye, on the Turneffe Atoll, in Belize. American crocodiles are listed as a vulnerable species.
Crossing the Madison River
Marty’s photo of the day #4002: A bison calf, not all that happy that mom forced her to cross the Madison River in Yellowstone National Park. But she made it!
