Marty’s photos of the day #3088: I took this photo last December in Verona, Italy. As it was in this display, Michelle Obama’s book was everywhere. Now, with the recent news that the Republican Party bought copies of Donald Trump Jr’s book—earning him a rare asterisk on the New York Times Best Seller List—and the […]
Like many of you, I learned this week that liberals had declared war on Thanksgiving, and that Fox News and Trump cultists get very angry and explode in a high-blood-pressure rage at the very thought of renaming the holiday to call it “Celebrate Immigrants Day” and include brown people in what they believe is a […]
Marty’s photo of the day #3086: “This is scary! Next Thanksgiving, I’m getting a peacock costume too.”
Marty’s photo of the day #3085: “I didn’t touch the tree. I promise!” (Black bear, photographed in Yellowstone National Park)
Marty’s photo of the day #3084: Photography is all about light, and on one early Montana morning, the Gods of Artsy Light were in a particularly good mood.
Marty’s photo of the day #3083: A few years ago I was on a college speaking tour that took me to California and Arizona. During a day off between gigs, I headed into the Mojave Desert. I was searching for desert tortoises (see Saturday’s post) and was treated to a desert in full-bloom. Here’s a […]
Marty’s photo of the day #3082: A few years ago I was on a college speaking tour that took me to California and Arizona. During a day off between gigs, I headed into the Mojave Desert. I was searching for desert tortoises (see yesterday’s post) and was treated to a desert in full-bloom. Here’s a […]
Marty’s photo of the day #3081: A few years ago I was on a college speaking tour that took me to California and Arizona. During a day off between gigs, I headed into the Mojave Desert in search of a desert tortoise. Very rarely does nature cooperate and produce the very animal I’m looking for, […]
Marty’s photo of the day #3080: I loved visiting the Yagua villages along the rivers in the Amazon Rainforest. The children were always excited to see us, and we always came bearing gifts (T-shirts, sugar-free gum, harmonicas, and bubbles).
Marty’s photo of the day #3079: I just love the skin texture on this green iguana that I photographed in Puerto Rico. There’s so much going on!
Marty’s photo of the day #3078: Marty: “Ya know. It would be really cool if you guys could stand together, so I could show people a before-and-after picture of gentoo penguins molting.” Penguins: “How’s this?”
Marty’s photo of the day #3077: You are looking at the King of all Rock Ptarmigans, as he surveys his vast territory in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge of Alaska. (Or he just happened to pose that way for me—I’m not sure.)
Marty’s photo of the day #3076: This is the tiny village of Lesponne in Southern France. When Deb and I were in France, working on the Europe chapter for my first book, Cool Creatures, Hot Planet: Exploring the Seven Continents, we didn’t have a GPS or hotel reservations. We basically roamed, with the only goal […]
Marty’s photo of the day #3075: I took this picture while Deb, a friend, and I were hiking to the Matterhorn in Switzerland. We didn’t have any climbing equipment, so our goal was to make it only a third of the way up. Unfortunately, we hit ice at a quarter of the way up and […]
Marty’s photo of the day #3074: This photo of a female red-winged blackbird, in the Bitterroot Valley, may be the least exotic photo I ever posted. Still, I like it. We’ll file it under “artsy.”
Marty’s photo of the day #3073: The Bluebird of Trump Family Perp-Walks. (Photographed in Yellowstone National Park)
Marty’s photo of the day #3072: Dall sheep (also known as thinhorn sheep), photographed along a river in the Yukon Territory.
Marty’s photo of the day #3071: This is a double-crested cormorant, photographed on a little island in the Sea of Cortez. Gotta love the white head-plumage!
