Prairie smoke
Marty’s photo of the day #4054: This is one of my favorite photos from Deb’s, Nellie’s, and my backpacking trip earlier this week. Prairie smoke was plentiful where we were hiking (in Anaconda Mountain Range of southwestern Montana), but it was difficult to photograph because the slightest breeze would swing the plant back and forth […]

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.
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 first toad of spring
Marty’s photo of the day #3983: This shot is from yesterday. My first toad spotting of the spring. She was so small—and look at those nails on her “hand.” (Photographed on the Essen Wildlife Refuge in Montana)
Not so exotic
Marty’s photo of the day #3982: If you follow my posts, you know that I often post pictures of exotic animals I have photographed all over the world. Today is dedicated to one of the least exotic animals I’ve photographed. But she’s soooooo cute! (Photographed on the Essen Wildlife Refuge in Montana)

Cold weather frog
Marty’s photo of the day #3972: I photographed this frog two years ago in western Montana. I consulted multiple frog identification sources and never came up with a perfect match. That said, I’m going to go with “northern leopard frog” and assume the slight differences are due to the cold weather and how early in […]

Badger side-eye
Marty’s photo of the day #3957: A little Tuesday morning badger side-eye for you. (Photographed in the Bitterroot Valley of Montana)
Artsy hummingbird
Marty’s photo of the day #3927: Today I go artsy, with a hummingbird I photographed a few summers ago. (Photographed in the Bitterroot Valley of Montana)
Killdeer and the pandemic
Marty’s photo of the day #3919: I photographed this killdeer on June 20, 2020. Deb and I had rented the Hogan Cabin that weekend, which is a Forest Service cabin in western Montana. Other than the birds and the mountain flowers, what I remember most about our visit was that it was our first time […]

Western sandpipers
