Marty’s photo of the day #3989: My rainbow boas, Adam and Eve, are both seven-feet-long and twenty-one years old. This is one of their babies from ten years ago. Adam and Eve now live in separate terrariums, because Adam goes into Catholic priest mode whenever he’s with Eve, and they’ve had quite enough babies for […]
Marty’s photo of the day #3988: Peacocks are not native to Montana, but they sure do well here. For fifteen or more years, Deb and I have enjoyed catching glimpses of the elusive peacocks that live in the Essen Wildlife Refuge that surrounds our house. And each year we collect the feathers they leave behind.
Marty’s photo of the day #3986: When Deb and I canoed across the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, campsites became less and less desirable as we neared the Arctic Ocean. This one was my least favorite. We called it Camp Desolation, because it featured little more than hard, rocky ground and biting wind off the Arctic […]
Marty’s photo of the day #3984: If I look out my second floor writing room window, the land drops into a forest of lodgepole pine, ponderosa pine, and serviceberry bushes. The serviceberry bushes are in full-bloom, but to properly appreciate the scene in a photograph, the photo would have to be much larger than a […]
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)
Marty’s photo of the day #3978: For the cover of the first edition of my first book, Cool Creatures, Hot Planet: Exploring the Seven Continents, my wife, Deb, took over two hundred photos of me with tailless whip-scorpions crawling up my face. Even though we switched covers after the first edition sold out, traveling back […]
Marty’s photo of the day #3976: Deb and I had tickets to see Halestorm and Evanescence in Portland, Oregon on November 5, 2021, but it was an indoor concert and the COVID-19 pandemic was in the midst of yet another surge. So we chickened out and reluctantly sold our tickets. This summer, we get another […]
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 […]
