Marty’s photo of the day #3278: These are the remains of an old Norwegian whaling station on Deception Island, off the coast of Antarctica. Much of the station is now buried in ash and mud from multiple volcanic eruptions. Whaling is evil—go volcano!
Marty’s photo of the day #3277: Marine toads are the world’s largest species of toad. This guy, will call him “Barr,” was quickly released before he started eating everything in the boat. (Barr was photographed in the Amazon Rainforest of Peru)
Marty’s photo of the day #3276: I photographed this leaf-mimic-frog in the Amazon Rainforest of Peru. How’s that for some impressive camouflage?
Marty’s photo of the day #3274: I took this leopard photo on the dark side of dusk, so I really had to push my camera. But hey—it’s a leopard! (Photographed in Zimbabwe)
Marty’s photo of the day #3272: Despite the brown coat, this is a black bear, not a grizzly bear. (Photographed while hiking in Yellowstone National Park)
Marty’s photo of the day #3271: This if Frog the frogmouth bird, photographed in the Outback of Queensland, Australia.
Marty’s photo of the day #3271: I took this scenic photo way-north in Canada’s Northwest Territories. Here, it’s too far north for trees to grow, and if you look closely you can see a tiny section of the great Porcupine caribou migration.
Marty’s photo of the day #3270: Yesterday I posted a baby long-eared owl photo, because I sensed a lot of you could use a baby owl fix. That owl seemed to cheer people up, so this morning I thought, “How can I do even better than a baby owl?” The answer was obvious. Three baby […]
Marty’s photo of the day #3269: I don’t know about you, but I could use a baby long-eared owl fix right about now. (Photographed in Montana)
Marty’s photo of the day #3268: Yesterday Deb and I went hiking in the Calf Creek Wildlife Management Area, which is in the foothills of the Sapphire Mountains, on the opposite side of the valley we live in. For those not familiar with the area, Montana’s Bitterroot Valley is 95-miles-long, with a population of just […]
A Facebook friend, who is a cop, messaged me privately to say he didn’t appreciate one of my posts this week that criticized cops. Even though I was careful to say “not all cops,” he still felt I painted with too broad of a brush. As a liberal, I had to think carefully about that. […]
Now would be a good time to point out to Trumpers on social media—who claim they aren’t racist—that while they posted nothing about the white Minneapolis cop murdering an unarmed black man while three fellow officers looked on, they sure as hell got upset and posted about the protests afterward. Multiple studies have shown that […]

My reasoning was that cops wouldn’t unnecessarily risk the physical contact. Silly me! I should have known that the urge to beat blacks was too strong for some cops. […]
Marty’s photo of the day #3265: This is Trout Lake in Yellowstone National Park. It’s one of the many gems you can find in the park if you hike away from the crowds.
