Marty’s photo of the day #3615: The view from the balcony of Deb’s and my hotel room, on our anniversary, many years ago. We are looking at the Bay of Biscay, in Spain.

It’s a baby howler monkey!
Marty’s photo of the day #3614: Here’s a little Sunday morning cuteness, as a baby howler monkey looks down from high in a tree. (Photographed in Costa Rica)
Peacock vs. . .
Marty’s photo of the day #3613: Peacock vs. turkey vs. piece of green foliage that leapt in front of my camera at the last second. Photographed at the “Essen Wildlife Refuge,” in Montana.
Hawking the truth
Marty’s photo of the day #3612: This is a “cheat-shot” of a red-tailed hawk that had been rescued and was living at a wildlife facility I spoke at. Oh, wait! Why am I being truthful? We live in the era of alternative facts, where if you tell a lie multiple times with conviction people will […]
Farmhouse bats
Marty’s photo of the day #3611: Seba’s short-tailed bats, photographed in a tiny abandoned farmhouse, in the rainforest of Costa Rica.
Orangutans vs Republicans
Marty’s photo of the day #3610: While on the island of Borneo, I watched two baby orangutans comfort each other, when they wandered too far from the orangutan rehabilitation facility and became lost in the dark. Meanwhile, in Montana, our Republican governor and legislature have passed bills taking away women’s rights, taking away trans rights, […]
Mother Nature’s Revenge
Marty’s photo of the day #3609: Mother Nature’s Revenge! 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.
Marshmallows in Hell
The spring moose
Marty’s photo of the day #3607: This photo is an hour old. Last night, Deb and I were taking part in our evening “porch” (our tradition of sitting on the front porch each evening with liquid refreshments, recapping the day’s events), when Deb spotted a black figure in the woods directly in front of us. […]
Orangutan close-up
Marty’s photo of the day #3606: Here’s a big male orangutan, I photographed on the island of Borneo.
Montana GOP: Sic the dogs on ’em
Marty’s photo of the day #3605: This year, with Republicans holding overwhelming power in every Montana state office, I wasn’t as active about speaking out against their actions as I have in the past. That’s because of the helplessness of knowing these cruel, proudly-Christian people were going to do whatever they damn well pleased, and […]
Bigfoot finally got out of the way
Marty’s photo of the day #3604: It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything from my front yard motion-sensing camera. Pictures over the winter have been pretty run-of-the-mill—just the usual bigfoot, D.B. Cooper, and naked Mitch McConnell shots. Finally, though, I got the deer portrait I had been aiming for!
Halestorm and Evanescence!
Marty’s photo of the day #3603: In the marriage advice chapter of my latest book, Hits, Heathens, and Hippos: Stories from an Agent, Activist, and Adventurer, I talk about how Deb and I have kept our 36-year marriage fresh by doing spontaneous things. Examples include suddenly deciding to travel to all seven-continents, moving to Montana […]
No trampling in flight
Marty’s photo of the day #3602: I love watching birds move in massive flocks. It’s amazing how they can instantly change directions and seemingly do so without touching each other. When humans get together and do the same thing, someone usually gets trampled. These are red-necked phalaropes, photographed at the Great Salt Lake, in Utah.
Rattlesnake
Australian cuteness
Marty’s photo of the day #3600: Deb and I were just talking about returning to Australia. This time for a month. Bonnie, the silver wallaroo, is now full-grown and has been returned to the wild—so holding her will be out of the question—but if we go, I’m sure we’ll find something equally cute to hold.
Swiss Alps glacier
Marty’s photo of the day #3599: You are looking at a glacier between mountaintops, high in the Swiss Alps.
No fear
Marty’s photo of the day #3598: Like most of the animals on Antarctica, skuas have very little fear of people. That’s because the animals down there have only had a little over one hundred years of exposure to humans. They’ll learn.
Red-winged blackbird
Marty’s photo of the day #3597: Red-winged blackbird, photographed in the Bitterroot Valley of Montana.
