Marty’s photo of the day #4702: And suddenly, Nellie’s body stiffened. The crisp morning air carried the distant chirping of birds, and the exhilarating scent of fresh deer poop teased her senses. Yet at that moment, her eyes were fixated on the one creature that possessed the audacity to disrupt her joyful game of ball […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4448: Over the years, Deb and I have played many hundreds of games of Scrabble, and through all those games, we’re pretty much dead-even in wins and losses. Summer means the outdoor season, played weekends on the porch. Lately, I’ve been on a winning streak, but it really hasn’t been […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4152: Sometimes it’s fun to photograph animals that are so common that few people give them a second thought, and show them in an interesting way. I think I accomplished that here.

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 […]
Marty’s photo of the day #3679: I rarely choose my photo of the day until minutes before posting. That’s because sometimes one of my older photos will fit a current event, sometimes I really have to dig, and other times I haven’t shot the photo yet (that’s the beauty of living in the forest at […]
