White Peacock Butterfly
It’s Molting Time!
Marty’s photo of the day #4603: It’s molting time! This is an adolescent gentoo penguin during her first molt, and she seems rather happy about getting rid of all the chick fuzz. Photographed on a tiny island off the coast of Antarctica.
Not what the GOP claims it is
Marty’s photo of the day #4602: Whenever Republicans take control, they want to head north and “Drill baby, drill.” Therefore, this is my frequent reminder that the Arctic is not the “bunch of nothing” they claim it is. This is a close-up of tundra, north of the Arctic Circle.
Amazon Tree Boa
Marty’s photo of the day #4601: This is an Amazon tree boa, photographed in the Amazon Rainforest of Peru.
Apparently, it’s edible. . . .
Marty’s photo of the day #4600: This is eyeball fungi, photographed in the rainforest of Borneo. Apparently, it is edible. . . . We didn’t test that theory.
If I had to list my influences . . .
The Silver Squad: Rebels With Wrinkles is totally original. But if I had to list my influences for this novel they would be a dollop of Harold and Maude, a pinch of Dexter, a sprinkle of Thelma & Louise, a dash of Bonnie and Clyde, a quiver of Robin Hood, and a curmudgeon of A […]

Variation Among Species
Marty’s photo of the day #4594: This was a difficult fish to identify because there is much variation among the species. Ultimately, you are looking at a white-spotted filefish that I photographed off the coast of Bonaire.
Leopard in Zimbabwe
Marty’s photo of the day #4593: When I photographed this leopard, the sun had already set, making it quite dark. My photo program allowed me to lighten it up and crop it, but attempts to remove the digital noise reduced the sharpness too much. Still, it’s a leopard in Zimbabwe!

A Holy Shit Moment
Marty’s photo of the day #4590: This was a “Holy shit!” moment. Deb and I were out a little deeper than usual, when a massive school of fish suddenly engulfed us. The moment lasted only a few seconds, as tuna were pursuing them in a high-speed chase. Photographed in Bonaire.
Chilling with an Octopus
Marty’s photo of the day #4589: I’m sitting on the floor of the Sea of Cortez, chilling with an octopus on my feet. Shhhhh! We don’t want to wake her up.
