Marty’s photo of the day #3660: This photo of mountain wildflowers in Montana dates back to 2002. I shot it with my first digital camera: a Sony Mavica CD400 that recorded onto a CD. Though it was heavy and slow, that camera had a high-quality lens and did an amazing job on still subjects. Also, […]
Marty’s photo of the day #3659: Yesterday evening I walked with my dog, Nellie, along the ridge our house sits on. I’ve walked our property so many times that my brain has essentially mapped every tree, rock, and stump on our 25 acres. Up ahead I saw a stump that looked out of place. I […]
Marty’s photo of the day #3654: Aside from being an author, my other career is being a college speaker and running Encante Entertainment, Inc., an agency that books other speakers (including Emmy nominee Naomi Grossman, civility speaker Traciana Graves, and Damona Hoffman of the Drew Barrymore Show). What does that have to do with this […]
Marty’s photo of the day #3640: If you follow political news, you’ve probably read that Arizona Republicans have clandestinely moved copies of their state’s 2020 election data to a remote cabin in Montana for “auditing.” Yeah, it’s always Montana. Many have speculated about the location of the cabin, but I have found it! Shhhh! “Important, […]
Marty’s photo of the day #3637: Baby badger cuteness. Photographed in the Bitterroot Valley of Montana.
Marty’s photo of the day #3633: I live in the Bitterroot Valley of Montana. Protected on either side by mountains, the valley is in the state’s banana belt. Having lived in the same house since 1996, I’m quite aware of how the area has been affected by climate change. It seems that every year I […]
Marty’s photo of the day #3613: Peacock vs. turkey vs. piece of green foliage that leapt in front of my camera at the last second. Photographed at the “Essen Wildlife Refuge,” in Montana.
Marty’s photo of the day #3610: While on the island of Borneo, I watched two baby orangutans comfort each other, when they wandered too far from the orangutan rehabilitation facility and became lost in the dark. Meanwhile, in Montana, our Republican governor and legislature have passed bills taking away women’s rights, taking away trans rights, […]
Marty’s photo of the day #3605: This year, with Republicans holding overwhelming power in every Montana state office, I wasn’t as active about speaking out against their actions as I have in the past. That’s because of the helplessness of knowing these cruel, proudly-Christian people were going to do whatever they damn well pleased, and […]
Marty’s photo of the day #3597: Red-winged blackbird, photographed in the Bitterroot Valley of Montana.
Marty’s photo of the day #3531: One of the cool things about living in Montana is that once you get off the beaten path, it’s fairly common to find old abandon buildings from when the state was still part of the “Wild West.” I don’t remember where I found this one. I think it was […]
Marty’s photo of the day #3520: Here’s a photo for anyone eager for spring. (Canada geese, photographed in the Bitterroot Valley of Montana)
Marty’s photo of the day #3516: I can’t say that winter is my favorite season, but if we’re going to have winter—let’s have it! None of that 37 degrees and brown crap. Therefore I’m pleased that 13 degrees and a foot of snow have arrived to our home in Montana. I enjoyed an early morning […]
Marty’s photo of the day #3513: I photographed this killdeer last year in western Montana. The bird was busy, leading me away from her nest.
Marty’s photo of the day #3496: Here’s another photo from the Bitterroot Valley of Montana. This is a very large juvenile long-eared owl. The mother was out hunting, but fortunately an old uncle was nearby to babysit the youngster.
Marty’s photo of the day #3481: A mother badger with one of her cubs. Photographed in the beautiful Bitterroot Valley of Montana.
