What is MurphyNation? On a small parcel of land in the middle of Southern California…backyard

…sits a pretty little dwelling inhabited by an eccentric family made up of four human and numerous non-human species.

MurphyNation began when the reigning monarchs met over three decades ago. Several years later, they wed, and life was never to be the same. Joined at first by finned friends, the citizens soon counted young male humans, snakes, salamanders, lizards of various sorts, frogs, a crazy German Shepherd, and at one time, even a cat, as members of the Nation! In addition, local wildlife, including insects, birds, possums, spiders and so forth are always welcome, especially if they are willing to stick around long enough to pose for a few snapshots.
