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.

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.

Nellie and the elk
Marty’s photo of the day #3809: My dog, Nellie, gets credit for this shot. Yesterday I took her outside for a pee break and she immediately sniffed the air and charged into the woods. I assumed it was just her five-times-daily inventory of trees containing squirrels, but then she barked and froze. Just ahead of […]
