Marty’s photo of the day #4315: Every time I get embarrassed about living in the backward state of Montana, some other primitive state, such as Idaho, Wyoming, Utah, Mississippi, or Florida reminds me, “Hey, it could be worse.” I’m sure many of you saw the story about the Florida principal who got fired for allowing […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4314: Deb, Nellie, and I spent a week at Montana’s American Prairie each of the last two years. This year we will be skipping that trip to take on some other outdoor adventures. Today’s photo is from our first visit to the American Prairie. Pronghorns are the fastest land animal […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4311: The world is a scary place, when you’re a tiny tree frog. (Photographed in the Amazon Rainforest of Peru)
Marty’s photo of the day #4310: A pretty little road that dead-ends at a river in the Yukon Territory of Canada.
Marty’s photo of the day #4308: That time when you’re in the African bush after sunset and you feel something big is looking at you. I photographed this leopard in Zimbabwe. It was quite dark out, and I really had to push my camera to create this image.
Marty’s photo of the day #4307: I’m having a very busy day today. And many of you know what that means: a penguin photo! I opened up my Antarctica photo file and this was quite literally the first penguin photo I saw that I haven’t posted before. These are gentoo penguins.
Marty’s photo of the day #4306: Now that I have my brand new Ford Maverick truck, Deb, Nellie, and I are planning to head into far north Canada this fall. I took this photo the last time Deb and I made the trip. This is the 362-mile-long Campbell Highway, a gravel road that crosses the […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4305: Having posted over four thousand “photos of the day,” with the goal of never posting the same photo twice, sometimes I have to really think to remember if I’ve posted a particular photo. Icebergs are especially difficult. I know I’ve shown this iceberg before, but I don’t think I’ve […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4304: That awkward moment when the child is bigger than the parent and still wants to be fed. Gentoo penguins, photographed off the coast of Antarctica.
Marty’s photo of the day #4302: Since people seemed to like yesterday’s butterfly from Belize, here’s another one from the same location. This butterfly is called an owl butterfly, because when it opens its wings, the big spot on each wing creates the illusion of owl eyes.
Marty’s photo of the day #4299: This is a greater white-lined bat, photographed in an abandoned farmhouse in Costa Rica.
Marty’s photo of the day #4298: Montana! Sure, half the population believes in wild conspiracy theories and wants to take human rights back to the 1800s, but we also have this.
Marty’s photo of the day #4297: A few weeks ago, I shared a story and photos of a bull and pregnant cow moose that were visiting the Essen Wildlife Refuge. Here’s another of the bull from that photoshoot. He’s a big boy! With any luck, I’ll be able to photograph the babies (moose often have […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4296: This is the Spanish town of Torrejón el Rubio. Some photos speak for themselves; others need a storyteller. So I’m going to be the storyteller for this one. The following comes from my sixth book, Hits, Heathens, and Hippos: Stories from an Agent, Activist, and Adventurer: By the time […]
