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. Restaurants within walking distance were full, so we stepped into a tiny market, bought a couple bottles of Italian wine, several varieties of cheese, crackers, smoked […]
The Matterhorn in the Morning
The Sunday morning puppy
Marty’s photo of the day #3349: Nellie, our nine-month-old rescue dog, has been with us for three weeks now. Since Deb and I were starting all over (after the last of our three elderly dogs died), we had some important decisions to make. Do we let Nellie onto the couch? Do we let Nellie climb […]
Going batty in Costa Rica
Marty’s photo of the day #3348: Here’s a short excerpt from my second book, Endangered Edens: Exploring the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, Costa Rica, the Everglades, and Puerto Rico: When we planned our hike to the farmhouse, I immediately thought of the two-story farmhouse my grandparents had owned in northern Minnesota.

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

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.
Rainforest fungi
Photography by moonlight
Marty’s photo of the day #3337: This is Fred Burr Creek, located a little below my house. I took this photo at night with no flash—just moonlight. I’m posting this shot out of season for a reason: the next time the creek looks like this and I can photograph it using moonlight, Joe Biden will […]
Heading to ANWR
Marty’s photo of the day #3336: I took this photo from the co-pilot’s seat of a tiny airplane, heading north to the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. That would put me in northern Alaska, on the southern side of the Brooks Range.
Sharp-shinned hawk
Marty’s photo of the day #3335: This is a sharp-shinned hawk, photographed in the Bitterroot Valley of Montana.
