Marty’s photo of the day #3159: I took this photo from the copilot’s seat of a bush plane. You are looking at Victoria Falls—the widest curtain of water on earth. (Photographed in Zimbabwe)

Wallaroo cuteness
Marty’s photo of the day #3158: Deb holds Bonnie—a baby silver wallaroo. Bonnie was in her mother’s pouch when they were hit by a car. Bonnie survived and was eventually released back into the wild. (Photographed in Queensland, Australia)
Trump teaches children that revenge is okay
The Christian-right gets their panties in a twist if two same sex people kiss on television—because “children are watching!” Knowing that, isn’t it ironic that they don’t get upset when their “champion,” Donald Trump, assaults women, calls people derogatory names, goes on a deranged rant at the National Prayer Breakfast, profits off of the presidency, […]
Zebra x 6
Marty’s photo of the day #3157: “Are you lookin’ at me?” There are six zebras in this photo, not five. Photographed in Zimbabwe.

Whimbrel vs. willet
Marty’s photo of the day #3152: Did you ever wonder how to tell the difference between a whimbrel (left) and a willet (right)? Well, now you know! I shot this photo in Costa Rica, and it appears in the full-color glossy glory in my second book, Endangered Edens: Exploring the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, Costa […]
Happy Groundhog Day!
Yelling bullshit at people I otherwise agree with
I am a liberal on virtually every issue. That said, I believe liberals hurt their causes when they go beyond what’s helpful and into the absurd. Not only does it turn off people in the middle, but it also turns off those who support them. The rote overuse of terms such as “microaggression,” “trigger warning,” […]
Hangin’ with an octopus
Marty’s photo of the day #3150: Just sittin’ on the floor of the Sea of Cortez, with a very mellow octopus on my feet. Oh, did she fall asleep? (Photographed in Mexico)
