Marty’s photo of the day #4200: This short excerpt from my second book—Endangered Edens: Exploring the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, Costa Rica, the Everglades, and Puerto Rico—explains the shot: Most of the water I had seen up to this point had been clear, but the pond where I released the Everglades rat snake was covered […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4198: “Don’t you come flying up to me, mister. I know where you’ve been!” (Photographed in Mexico)
Marty’s photo of the day #4197: I’m just sitting on the floor of the Sea of Cortez with my new friend, Mrs. Octopus.
Marty’s photo of the day #4196: Here’s some gentoo penguin chick cuteness for your Wednesday. (Photographed on a tiny island off the coast of Antarctica)
Marty’s photo of the day #4195: Hanging out for a few hours with members of the Yagua tribe along a tributary of the Amazon River was a big event for both visitors and residents. Deb and I brought the children harmonicas, T-shirts, and bubbles, and in return we got to walk through their village and […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4194: This is an extreme close-up of the amazing tundra plant life in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Or, as Republican oil company sycophants call it, “A bunch of nothing.”
Marty’s photo of the day #4192: Greetings from the great white north, eh? I shot this photo while standing on a tiny island in the Arctic Ocean. Try as I might, I just couldn’t see Putin from here.
Marty’s photo of the day #4191: Some mornings, I have a plan on what to post for my photo of the day. Other mornings, I just open folders of my photos that I’ve saved to my computer and look for one that speaks to me. Many times those instantly selected photos surprise me: “Oh, I […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4190: I photographed this elephant while hiking across Mana Pools National Park in Zimbabwe. I’m not sure if it was just her earlier mud-bath, but she looked quite old to me.
Marty’s photo of the day #4189: This is Fred, a young eyelash viper. For the entire week Deb and I were in Costa Rica, Fred hung out on a giant leaf near the door of our yurt. Each time we came and went, we would take a moment to greet Fred—a courtesy he “obviously” appreciated. […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4187: Wild turkeys aren’t native to Montana, but they certainly do well here. The same goes for the wild peacocks that frequent the Essen Wildlife Refuge. While sometimes I fret about how humans have moved so many animals out of their natural range, I know it could be worse. Instead […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4186: Salt Lake City, Utah is a seven-hour drive from where Deb and I live in Montana, so we occasionally drive there for concerts at the USANA Amphitheater. Once there, we also visit Antelope Island. When we were there earlier this year, to see Evanescence, much of the Great Salt […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4185: Here’s a photo from my second trip to the Amazon Rainforest of Peru. This is me with the coolest frog in the rainforest—a monkey frog. My wife, Deb, gets credit for this photo.
Marty’s photo of the day #4184: Here’s a zebra longwing butterfly, photographed in the Everglades. This photo also appears in my second book, Endangered Edens: Exploring the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, Costa Rica, the Everglades, and Puerto Rico.
Marty’s photo of the day #4183: I seldom do “cheat shots,” but when a friend offered to bring her semi-wild Canada lynx (used for education in the schools) over to the Essen Wildlife Refuge for a photo session, I couldn’t resist. And by semi-wild, I mean the lynx only threaten to rip my leg off […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4182: I mostly enjoy winter—the colder the better—but I know many people can’t wait for spring. With that in mind, I dedicate today’s photo—from last spring on the Essen Wildlife Refuge—to all those counting the days until spring comes around again.
Marty’s photo of the day #4181: Female red-winged blackbird, photographed in the Bitterroot Valley of Montana.
Marty’s photo of the day #4180: Nellie and I love the cold weather (anything below 20 degrees Fahrenheit), and we are disappointed that the temps are predicted to rise above freezing later this week. Cold weather means packed snow on the gravel roads for my early morning bike rides (instead of ice after a freeze-thaw), […]
