Nellie and the killer deer
Marty’s photo of the day #3519: Deb’s and my house looks down a tree-filled hill with multiple benches. Every winter, when the snow gets deep, one or more deer take to sleeping on the closest bench to our house. Yesterday was the first day that happened since our dog, Nellie, joined our family. Consequently, Nellie […]
The princess and her pillows
Marty’s photo of the day #3518: Dogs are all about routines, and Nellie only needs to observe something twice before declaring it a routine. One of her favorite routines happens at bedtime. My wife, Deb, always precedes me into bed by a few minutes, taking her pillow, stacking my three pillows to the side, and […]

The Tree House
Marty’s photo of the day #3516: I can’t say that winter is my favorite season, but if we’re going to have winter—let’s have it! None of that 37 degrees and brown crap. Therefore I’m pleased that 13 degrees and a foot of snow have arrived to our home in Montana. I enjoyed an early morning […]
Creatures of the night
Marty’s photo of the day #3515: Whenever I’m in a region of the world with a rainforest, my favorite thing to do is wait until dark and then head out with a flashlight. Often the creatures of the night look like they are from another planet. Here’s a katydid from one of my night hikes […]
This will not be The Trump Airport
Marty’s photo of the day #3514: Today’s photo is from Costa Rica. This is the funky little Golfito Airport, which is a single landing strip cut into the rainforest, with a reservation counter, bench, and vending machine under a protective canopy. Rumor has it that Donald Trump approached the village of Golfito, desperate to have […]
Follow me!
Marty’s photo of the day #3513: I photographed this killdeer last year in western Montana. The bird was busy, leading me away from her nest.
Penguin or moose?
Marty’s photo of the day #3512: We got a foot of snow last night, so I spent the last three-and-a-half hours outside snow blowing our long driveway. That, of course, means that I am behind on all the other projects I had planned for today. When I’m in a hurry, a good way to make […]
New York City stories
Marty’s photo of the day #3511: I took this photo of New York City several years ago, when I was on a college speaking tour. My soon-to-be-released humorous memoir, Hits, Heathens, and Hippos: Stories from an Agent, Activist, and Adventurer, features several stories that revolve around New York City, including my trips there when I […]
Tundra plant life
Marty’s photo of the day #3510: Here’s a photo from my first book, “Cool Creatures, Hot Planet: Exploring the Seven Continents.” You are looking at a close-up of tundra plant life, in Canada’s Yukon Territory.
Crocodile greeters
Marty’s photo of the day #3509: A greeting party of Nile crocodiles await for Deb and me to canoe around a bend, on a narrow channel of the Zambezi River. (Photographed in Zimbabwe)
Elephant family
Marty’s photo of the day #3508: Few things make your heart race, like walking down a dry riverbed in Zimbabwe and coming across a family of elephants.
Gentoo close-up
Marty’s photo of the day #3507: This is one of my favorite photos from my Antarctica trip. We had strict rules that we could not approach any animal closer than 15 feet. But if an animal approached us? That was okay. The man in my photo is Paul Jacobson, who was filming a documentary of […]
Walking stick
Date night and dingo-mode
Marty’s photos of the day #3505: Like many of you, the COVID-19 pandemic has kept Deb and me at home for eleven months and counting (and I’m holding off on a haircut until I get my vaccine). So the other day, I proposed that we dress up, have a fancy dinner, and attend a concert, […]
Castle in Spain
Marty’s photo of the day #3504: Me, looking up from below: “Rapunzel! Rapunzel! Let down your hair.” And yes, I did consider digitally inserting the senator from Vermont and calling out, “Bernie! Bernie! Let down your mittens.” (Photographed in Spain)
Iceberg up-close
Marty’s photo of the day #3503: For anyone who’s wanted to know what an iceberg looks like up-close. Photographed off the coast of Antarctica.
Moose nap
Marty’s photo of the day #3502: This photo is from several summers ago—a young moose taking a nap in our “front yard.”
