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 […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4482: This is a scenic shot from somewhere on Deb’s and my epic journey to the top of Canada for my first book, Cool Creatures, Hot Planet: Exploring the Seven Continents. We’ve been hoping to redo that 5,572 mile-long adventure for many years. For the past year, we’ve really gotten […]
Marty’s photo of the day #3668: Deb, Nellie, and I saw quite a bit of wildlife on our western Montana backpacking trip, last weekend. The Forest Service cabin we rented was in a narrow valley, with mountains on each side. On our first morning, I walked out into a nearby meadow and soon spotted these […]
Marty’s photos of the day #3667: Here are three more photos from Nellie’s first backpacking trip (this past weekend). 1) Nellie always insisted on leading, as we hiked six-miles-to and six-miles-from the Twogood Cabin in western Montana. She did a great job of setting the pace. Except, of course, when the squirrels and chipmunks invited […]
Marty’s photo of the day #3666: I haven’t posted for several days, because Deb and I took Nellie on her first backpacking trip. We hiked six miles to the Twogood Forest Service Cabin in the mountains of western Montana. There we spent two nights and had a wonderful time. This was Deb’s and my second […]
Marty’s photo of the day #3555: One of the ways dogs are like humans is that some are afraid of heights and others are not. I’ll never forget, many years ago, when Deb and I rented a Forest Service lookout tower in northwestern Montana. Our Labrador retriever climbed right to the top, but I had […]
Marty’s photo of the day #3289: This is a killdeer that I photographed this past weekend near the Hogan Forest Service Cabin Deb and I rented in western Montana. A pair of the birds had a nest right next to the gravel road leading to the cabin. The birds would put on their “broken wing” […]
Marty’s photo of the day #3288: I just got back from a weekend at Hogan Cabin, a Forest Service rental. Being a way from the internet for almost two days was a nice break, but with the Trump rally on Saturday night, I was wondering if perhaps we’d come home and find that Civil War […]
Marty’s photo of the day #3133: Years ago, Deb and I spent a weekend at a Forest Service cabin, somewhere in Montana. As we were cleaning up to leave, I got the idea to try and do a Montana version of the American Gothic painting. Rule #1: Dogs don’t understand art and will destroy every […]
Marty’s photo of the day #3118: I did some of the photography for Deb Essen’s book, Easy Weaving with Supplemental Warps. When her publisher requested outdoor shots, she and I headed to a Forest Service cabin in southern Montana for a weekend photo shoot. While many of the photos from that weekend made the book, […]
Marty’s photo of the day #2224: Taking a mountaintop family photo can be tricky—especially when dogs are involved. This photo is from last weekend, near the Forest Service cabin we rented. To take this photo, I had to set my camera on my pack, adjust the settings, push the shutter button, and run to get […]
Marty’s photo of the day #2220: I didn’t post a photo of the day yesterday, as I was Internet free for the weekend. On Saturday, Deb and I took our granddaughter, Fiona, to the Douglas Creek Cabin, which is a Forest Service cabin near Hall, Montana. Then, on Sunday, my son Sean and his wife, […]
