Marty’s photo of the day #3848: Sneaking up on a leopard in Zimbabwe. When I shot this photo, the sun had already set, so I didn’t have much light to work with. Back home, I lightened it as much as I could in my computer without changing the colors. Although leopards are not an endangered […]
Marty’s photo of the day #3847: Each year around Christmas, I dig into my photos of the great old churches I photographed in Europe.

Marty’s photo of the day #3839: I’ve always had dogs in my life, but none have enjoyed the snow as much as Nellie does. Whenever we have new snow, she’ll run through the forest surrounding our house, exclaiming in her own language: “Look at all this white stuff! It’s everywhere! Oh, this white stuff is […]
