I invite you to join me in my latest writing adventure, Love the Wild. I’m very fortunate to live in Gardiner, Montana, at Yellowstone’s north gate. From here I can experience the park and the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem’s wild lands and wildlife throughout the seasons. And when I do, I’m almost always accompanied by my wife, Mary, and my camera.

I recently examined a decade worth of photographs that I took while on such outings. Some of those photos, I realized, inspired me to dig deeper and learn more so that I could better understand and write about the special moments I had experienced in these wild lands I so dearly love. 

Sometimes the captured moment leads me to describe a compelling aspect of behavior, biology, geology, ecology, or natural history. Sometimes the moment leads me to write about our encroachment and impact on wildlife and wild lands. Sometimes the moment puts me on my advocacy soapbox. And sometimes the moment touches my heart and leads me to write a love letter to some wild critter or wild spot.

I have collected these moments in a new and free letter called Love the Wild that will be delivered to your email inbox each week.

The photos and stories presented weekly in Love the Wild capture wildlife and wild lands as seen through the lens of my camera and a filter of researched facts and revealed feelings. 

I hope these stories and photos warm your heart and excite your mind. I hope you enjoy learning more about wildlife and wild lands with me. 

I hope you subscribe and join me at Love the Wild.
