Marty’s photo of the day #3630: Every morning before work, I take my dog, Nellie, to a clearing in the woods by my house, and we attempt to play Frisbee. Yesterday, we had a very curious (and I think very pregnant) doe hanging around. First, I had to talk the deer out of Deb’s garden, […]

Camp Desolation
Marty’s photo of the day #3629: For this photo I’m looking south, with the Brooks Range in the distance and the Arctic Ocean to my back. The blue tent is Deb’s and mine. We crossed the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, canoeing the Jago River from the base of the mountains to the Arctic Ocean. At […]

Marty’s photo of the day #3628: A red fox runs out of a streambed in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge of Alaska.
Venice side canal

Gentoo and chinstrap penguins
Marty’s photo of the day #3625: I have been out all day, so I’m late posting. And when I am late, I often reach into my stash of penguin photos. This shot (taken off the cost of Antarctica) shows both chinstrap and gentoo penguins.

In all such instances, the residents greeted us with smiles. While I can’t say it would change every Republican, I do think more would stop fearing/hating/resenting brown people if […]
Pine cone art
Marty’s photo of the day #3623: This artsy scene caught my eye, as Deb and I walked our property this past weekend. I didn’t touch a thing; nature had already lined up the pinecones.
Arrowleaf balsamroot
Marty’s photo of the day #3622: The forest surrounding our house is in full-bloom, with blue lupines and arrowleaf balsamroot. Here’s one of the balsamroots.
