Marty’s photo of the day #3058: Every once in a while people steal my photos. I’m not talking about a Facebook or Twitter share (which is perfectly fine). I’m talking about actual stealing. For instance, a guide company in Puerto Rico stole one of my photos for use on their website, and in the instance […]
Marty’s photo of the day #3057: “Hmmm. . . . There was a flying fox around here somewhere. Any idea where she went? ” (Photographed at The Bat House, a flying fox research facility in northern Queensland, Australia)
Marty’s photo of the day #3056: I took this photo in my front yard a few seasons ago. I wonder if these fawns are now the adults that have figured out that our old dog, Lucy, is now incapable of keeping them out of our gardens. Some days I go outside, and am shocked at […]
Marty’s photo of the day #3055: I recently read a blog about how important it is for writers to have a special writing room. I think I have that covered. During the day, I have a stunning view of the snow-covered mountains, and at night I work by candlelight. Regarding my writing: Time Is Irreverent […]
It’s been awhile since the Republican Jesus has made an appearance on my posts, but he’s a busy guy, visiting various gun-loving Christian groups across America. His favorites include a Montana group that meets in a church and will provide you with a loaner gun if you show up without one, and “Calling for Christ,” […]
Marty’s photo of the day #3054: This is a pileated woodpecker, photographed in the Bitterroot Valley of Montana.
Marty’s photo of the day #3053: American avocets along the shore of Antelope Island in the Great Salt Lake.
With the Trump Administration now forcing the U.S. Department of Justice to investigate themselves in a criminal probe aimed at clearing Russia from their interference with the 2016 election and instead switching the blame to the Democrats, there should be little doubt in any sane person’s mind that Donald Trump is a Russian asset. At […]
Marty’s photo of the day #3052: These sea lions are waiting on a tiny island in the Sea of Cortez with great anticipation. As soon as Deb and I dropped into the water with our snorkel gear, they were in with us. It was one of the few times I’ve observed wildlife where the observee […]
Don “K” Kaltschmidt, the chairman of the Montana Republican Party, has a blistering guest column in Montana newspapers this week. In that column, he accuses Gov. Steve Bullock and other Democratic state leaders of not reflecting the state’s “values” by supporting the impeachment inquiry into Donald Trump. While it’s laughable that any Republican would speak […]
Have you noticed how Mitt Romney has been stepping up his criticism of Donald “The Bedbug” Trump? While pundits speculate a variety of motives from being a patriot to just not liking Trump, I have a different theory: Romney knows something. In fact, he’s reasonably sure that neither the Bedbug nor Mike “The Soulless One” […]
Marty’s photo of the day #3050: This is a laughing kookaburra, photographed in Australia. Here’s what I wrote about the birds in my first book, Cool Creatures, Hot Planet: Exploring the Seven Continents: Though not as stunning as the kingfishers or cockatoos, laughing kookaburras are handsome gray and white birds with a very famous call: […]
Marty’s photo of the day #3049: You’re probably wondering: what the hell is this picture about? When my wife and I were in Belize, we went horseback riding with one of the locals, and he took us to a cave, where we could see vampire bats up-close. This was one of the other sights inside […]
Marty’s photo of the day #3048: This is a five-foot-long lace monitor, photographed in Australia. I spent fifteen minutes crawling on the forest floor with this magnificent creature. Shortly afterward, scientists discovered that this species is venomous (though not deadly to humans).
So President KKKlueless backed down on having next year’s G-7 summit at his Doral Golf Resort. Trump would like people to think he canceled the event because the “Hostile Media & their Democrat Partners went CRAZY!” and Democrats will think Trump backed down because he was afraid of adding yet another impeachable offense to his […]
Marty’s photo of the day #3046: When hiking in Zimbabwe I had the privilege of watching a troop of about thirty chacma baboons. They are the largest species of baboons. In this photo, a female is trying to entice the big male to mate with her. He ignored her for a while and then finally […]
Marty’s photo of the day #3044: Here’s a photo from my second book, Endangered Edens: Exploring the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, Costa Rica, the Everglades, and Puerto Rico. I’m holding a brown blunt-headed vine snake. Though mildly venomous, she wasn’t “bitey,” and even if she was, I doubt that she was big enough to break […]
