Today’s Creep Out Photo
Marty’s photo of the day #4785: I haven’t posted a creep-out photo for a while, so we’ll take care of that right now. This is one of the many masses, containing hundreds of daddy long-legs, that I found in a dry riverbed in western Spain.
Gulch hiking
Marty’s photo of the day #4784: When Deb and I rented a U.S. Forest Service Cabin on the east fork of the Bitterroot River early last week, rain kept us inside much of the time. Since we enjoy hiking up the gulches in the area, when the sun briefly came out, we took advantage of […]
Weavings In the Wild
Marty’s photo of the day #4783: Here’s a “making of” photo, showing what Deb Essen and I were doing earlier this week. One of the cool ideas Deb came up with for her weaving instruction books is to photograph her completed projects “in the wilds of Montana.” And as her photographer-husband, I get to shoot […]
The Dragon Tree
Marty’s photo of the day #4782: Yesterday, I posted about my wife, Deb, and I hanging out at a U.S. Forest Service cabin this past Monday thru Wednesday (on the East Fork of the Bitterroot River in Montana). We spent part of our first day driving remote mountain roads, looking for photoshoot locations, where I […]
Moving to Montana: The Short Version
Marty’s photo of the day #4781: The short story of Deb and me moving to Montana is that we had rented a cabin from a friend-of-a-friend on the East Fork of the Bitterroot River at the far southern end of the Bitterroot Valley. It was 1992, and we were driving home to Minneapolis after renting […]
Iceberg action
Marty’s photo of the day #4780: Here’s a little iceberg action for ya. Photographed off the coast of Antarctica.
The instant pond
Marty’s photo of the day #4779: At the Essen Wildlife Refuge (i.e. the 25 protected-for-wildlife acres where my wife and I live) we have an upper and lower level. The lower level is lush forest with a seasonal pond. Since we moved to Montana, in 1996, that pond has filled itself every spring and emptied […]
The Italian swan
Marty’s photo of the day #4769: I photographed this swan in Italy. Can you tell it’s an Italian swan?
Happy Day After Conviction Day!
Marty’s photo of the day #4768: As I was going through my photo files, deciding what to post today, I came across this several-year-old photo of Martyman and Mr. Trump Head. Yes, it’s almost as if each snowflake symbolizes something vile done by the whiny little Christian-Right champion. Happy Day After Conviction Day!

The Amazon River
Marty’s photo of the day #4765: This photo should give you a taste of how massive the Amazon River is. And this spot—in Peru—is certainly not the widest spot.

Attack of the Pipe Cleaner Spiders
Marty’s photo of the day #4763: If I was making a cheesy horror movie, I would spend a week in the Amazon Rainforest, looking for scary creatures I could enlarge. This one—that I photographed in the Amazon Rainforest of Peru—would be a great candidate for The Attack of the Pipe Cleaner Spiders!
Columbian Ground Squirrel
Marty’s photo of the day #4762: Columbian ground squirrel, photographed in the Bitterroot Valley of Montana.

Revenge of the pond sharks
Read the signs!
Marty’s photo of the day #4759: Two days ago, I checked the motion-sensing cameras that we have hidden among the trees in the Essen Wildlife Refuge. This creepy guy showed up in a spot where he almost had to walk right past one of our many No Trespassing signs. If someone makes arrangements ahead of […]
