Marty’s photo of the day #4627: Deb and I spent a week during the falls of 2021 and 2022 visiting Montana’s American Prairie. Each time we rented a yurt, and it felt like having our own cabin on the reserve. We skipped 2023, because we didn’t want the place to lose its special feeling. We […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4466: I’m going off-line for a few days. I’ll leave you with this ibis, photographed in the American Prairie of Montana.
Marty’s photo of the day #4314: Deb, Nellie, and I spent a week at Montana’s American Prairie each of the last two years. This year we will be skipping that trip to take on some other outdoor adventures. Today’s photo is from our first visit to the American Prairie. Pronghorns are the fastest land animal […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4235: This shot is from last September, during Deb’s, Nellie’s, and my second weeklong stay in the American Prairie of central Montana. Before I moved to Montana, in 1996, I had no opinion of ranchers, but since then ranchers have convinced me that they are among the most selfish people […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4170: Leopard frog, photographed this past summer along the Judith River in the American Prairie (Montana).
Marty’s photo of the day #4160: Oh, what I would give for this entire photo to be in perfect focus! You are looking at a young yellow-bellied racer that I photographed two months ago in the American Prairie of Montana. The feisty little snake didn’t appreciate me taking her picture and struck at my camera. […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4092: Two years ago, before Deb’s and my first visit to the American Prairie Reserve (now officially called “American Prairie”) in central Montana, we were concerned about our newly adopted dog, Nellie, stepping on the cactus there. So months ahead of time, we patiently tried to get Nellie used to […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4081: Deb, Nellie, and I just spent six days in the American Prairie of central Montana. On Sunday, we enjoyed a spectacular high prairie hike that climbed to an outcrop, which overlooked an entire valley. Nellie raced to the edge of the bluff and started barking and growling at something […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4080: Deb, Nellie, and I have returned home from the first six days of our nine-day vacation. We spent the previous days at the American Prairie Reserve (now officially known as just American Prairie) in central Montana. This was our second consecutive year renting a yurt there. The yurt sits […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4057: In a few weeks, Deb (wife), Nellie (dog), and I (Nellie’s plaything) will be returning to Montana’s American Prairie (formerly the American Prairie Reserve). Last year’s visit was too brief, so we’re going to stay longer this time. There’s so much to explore! This photo is from last year—the […]
