Marty’s photo of the day #3689: I rarely post traditional vacation-type photos, but I hadn’t posted anything from Europe recently, and I was feeling a bit guilty about leaving the continent out. So here’s Deb and me in front of the Palacio Real de Madrid (the Royal Palace) in Madrid, Spain.

Marty’s photo of the day #3681: This is the third picture I’m sharing of the immature saw-whet owl that stopped by for a visit over the weekend. In the actual sequence of shots, however, this was the first one I took. I wasn’t going to post this one, but my wife, Deb, walked around all […]
Marty’s photo of the day #3680: Well, of course, I can’t just post one photo of what could be the world’s most adorable owl! In this one, note how you can see the reflection of the trees in her eyes. For those who missed yesterday’s post, for photo #3679, here is a repeat of the […]
