Marty’s photo of the day #4475: Last week, Deb (wife), Nellie (dog), and I spent a delightful few hours wading in Canyon Creek, which runs parallel to the U.S. Forest Service cabin we rented. Sometimes all the colorful rocks under the crystal-clear water just sparkled! Once, when the sunlight was perfect, I lowered my camera […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4474: One of the weirdest moments of Deb’s, Nellie’s, and my stay last week at the Canyon Creek Cabin was visiting the Canyon Creek Charcoal Kilns. From 1884 to 1900, men made charcoal there, which they shipped via horse-drawn wagons to the Glendale smelter, five miles down the road. We […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4473: Today I have some photojournalism. I shot this picture last week, looking down from a mountain in a remote area of the Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest. If you look closely, you will see the gravel road and then a bunch of 4-wheeler tracks going off-road in the foreground. I fucking […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4472: This is a Melissa blue butterfly (the topside of its wings are blue), photographed last week in the Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest of Montana. This species of butterfly is so small that even if you’re viewing this photo on a smartphone, you’re seeing it larger than actual size.
Marty’s photo of the day #4471: Each summer, Deb and I rent at least one U.S. Forest Service Cabin, and last week we rented the Canyon Creek Cabin in the Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest (west of Melrose, Montana). One Montana cabin tradition that sickens me is that quite literally every cabin has skulls and bones hanging […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4470: AI technology amazes me. Yesterday, I finished the first draft of my eighth book, “Barry and Beth,” and in that novel, my characters are trying to produce a short video to stop barbaric alligator hunting practices in Florida. For a script idea, they try AI. Well, I did that […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4469: Want to have some fun with an interesting moral question? When Deb and I took three days off-the-grid to rent the Canyon Creek Cabin, we did a lot of playing and hiking in the area. On our second day, we spent a few hours along a tiny stream. These […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4468: I shot this photo earlier this week, while Deb and I were renting the Canyon Creek Cabin in the Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest (west of Melrose, Montana). Pronghorns are the fastest land animal in the Western Hemisphere.
Marty’s photo of the day #4467: Deb (wife), Nellie (dog), and I are back from a three-day stay at the Canyon Creek Cabin in the Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest (west of Melrose, Montana). Since moving to Montana, in 1996, Deb and I have maintained a tradition of renting one or two US Forest Service cabins a […]
