And then the hippo bit . . .
Marty’s photo of the day #3356: My sixth book, Hits, Heathens, and Hippos: Stories from an Agent, Activist, and Adventurer, is complete and will be published sometime next year.

Happy National Dog Day!
Marty’s photo of the day #3352: Today is National Dog Day, so of course I have to feature a photo of Nellie. We adopted Nellie from the local animal shelter, and she is approximately nine months old. During the three weeks we’ve had her, Deb and I are in agreement on two things: 1) No […]
Simple and unplanned
Marty’s photo of the day #3351: This photo goes back to 2018 in Genova, Italy. Deb and I had gotten lost and arrived late to the apartment we rented.

I knew the Costa […]
Breakfast in Australia

Bob, is that you?
Marty’s photo of the day #3344: I photographed this tree frog at night, deep in the rainforest of Borneo. If this frog has a name other than “Bob” it is certainly a scientific name only. So many species on the island have yet to be cataloged or given common names. Well, “Bob” is a common […]
Monkey frog
Newspaper or Puppy?
Marty’s photo of the day #3342: Marty: “I love Sunday mornings in Montana—sitting out on the front porch, reading the Sunday paper with a cup of coffee by my side.” Nellie: “Forget the Sunday paper! You’d much rather pet the cute puppy, wouldn’t you? See how cute I am. How can you resist?”
Look for the baby
Marty’s photo of the day #3341: I took this howler monkey photo in Costa Rica. Look closely and you’ll see the baby.

Cool break in Switzerland
Marty’s photo of the day #3339: For those desiring a visual break from the summer heat. I took this photo from the top of the Klein Matterhorn in Switzerland (12,740 feet), overlooking a glacier spanning between the peaks.
