Marty’s photo of the day #3428: I often post images of exotic animals I’ve photographed all over the world. Sometimes, however, a common backyard animal can be just as interesting—just ask my dog.
My dog says. . . .

The impala photobomb
Marty’s photo of the day #3427: After several minutes of careful stalking, I finally got close enough to photograph this herd of zebras. Photobomb curtesy of an impala. (Photographed in Zimbabwe)
Borneo frog
Marty’s photo of the day #3426: So many animals on the island of Borneo are still unknown to science, and sometimes the difference between species is subtle. I photographed this frog while on a night hike, deep inside Borneo’s rainforest. As near as I can tell, this is most likely a brown marsh frog or […]

Why do right-wingers hate Kamala and Michelle so much?
While I believe Joe Biden is going to be an outstanding president, I’m actually more excited about Kamala Harris as America’s first woman vice president. She was the candidate I wanted and donated to at the very beginning of the primaries. As someone who has traveled the world and speaks at colleges about how people […]
The logger dog
Marty’s photo of the day #3424: Dogs are masters of routines. Nellie is just a year old, but she has every routine down, including that we go for a walk at five o’clock each night (her ability to tell time is uncanny). Our walks are generally around the perimeter of the land Deb and I […]
Lost in Spain
Marty’s photo of the day #3423: When Americans visit Spain, the vast majority stick to the touristy areas. When Deb and I went to Spain as part of the travels for my first book, Cool Creatures, Hot Planet: Exploring the Seven Continents, we made it a point to go to out-of-the-way places, where tourists don’t […]
A normal White House
Marty’s photo of the day #3422: When I took this photo, President Obama lived here. No one was hate-tweeting on the toilet, no one was being tear-gassed, and the White House was not surrounded by a non-scalable fence. The next few months are going to be like none we’ve ever seen before, but on January […]
A big kitty nap
Marty’s photo of the day #3421: For everyone who has been losing sleep this week, here’s a nice kitty, enjoying a nap. (Jaguar, photographed in Belize)
What I saw last night
Marty’s photo of the day #3420: I couldn’t sleep last night, so I decided to be productive and take a picture of the inside of my eyelid. Considering that I stared at my eyelid the entire time I was in bed, it was obviously a captivating sight. And it pretty much stayed the same whether […]
Come on America!
Marty’s photo of the day #3419: Today, we have a message from Martyman: “Come on America! You know what you have to do! And don’t forget to do the same to all the Republican senators who blindly supported the fascist turd.”
Send in your 2021 Obamacare application in now!
My wife and I love Obamacare (ACA). For self-employed people like us, it’s really the only way to go. Because Republicans are determined to take Obamacare away from millions (in a pandemic!) and are using a Supreme Court hearing later this month to do so, I didn’t waste any time and completed my application for […]
White-faced capuchin
Marty’s photo of the day #3418: White-faced capuchins aren’t the most beautiful monkeys in the world, but being able to spend any time with any monkey in the wild is a privilege. Photographed in Costa Rica.
The Giant Murder Moth of Borneo
Marty’s photo of the day #3417: This is the Giant Murder Moth of Borneo. These huge venomous moths are resistant to all known pesticides and have been known to kill and devour small children. They also frequently attack adult humans as they sleep—laying eggs in their victim’s ears and using their long proboscis to suck […]
