Marty’s photo of the day #3500: This is a willow ptarmigan, photographed in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. And thanks to President Joe Biden for moving quickly to once again protect the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge from greedy oil companies!
Marty’s photo of the day #3499: Deb paddles her little dugout through the Amazon Rainforest in Peru. I took this photo during the rainy season. Had it been the dry season, she would have been on solid ground.
Marty’s photo of the day #3497: To preserve my reputation as an ethical wildlife photographer, I always divulge when I digitally manipulate a photo beyond color and light levels. In this instance, I came across this bear while hiking in Yellowstone National Park and paralleled him for a bit. Suddenly, he reared up on his […]
Marty’s photo of the day #3496: Here’s another photo from the Bitterroot Valley of Montana. This is a very large juvenile long-eared owl. The mother was out hunting, but fortunately an old uncle was nearby to babysit the youngster.
Marty’s photo of the day #3495: Today we go to Queensland, Australia for the punk rocker of the rainforest: the Boyd’s forest dragon.
Marty’s photo of the day #3494: I took this photo of the Reflecting Pool and the Washington Monument back when Barack Obama was president. Both will look even better today, now that fascism has been defeated, Donald Trump has left the city, Joe Biden will soon be president, and we will finally—yes fucking finally!—have our […]
Marty’s photo of the day #3493: I haven’t posted any photos from Costa Rica for a while, so here’s a young howler monkey. Speaking of howlers . . . . Just one more day of the biggest crybaby howler of them all, Donald Trump!
Marty’s photo of the day #3492: I took this photo in Zimbabwe. You are looking at a tiny channel of Victoria Falls—the widest curtain of water on Earth—just before the river makes its big drop.
Marty’s photo of the day #3491: I’ve always loved this photo of my wife, Deb. At the time I took it, we were at the Hotel Schwarzsee, high in the Swiss Alps, near the base of the Matterhorn. The only way to get to the tiny hotel was by gondola (cable car), and each night […]
Marty’s photo of the day #3491: Today we go to France for turtles. These are Mauremys leprosas, the rarest terrapins living in France. The only known population in the country is along the border with Spain.
Marty’s photo of the day #3491: A tiny green tree frog sits on a finger in the Amazon Rainforest of Peru.
Marty’s photo of the day #3490: A gentoo penguin family on a foggy day, off the coast of Antarctica.
Marty’s photo of the day #3489: This is one of the two octopuses Deb and I played with while visiting the Sea of Cortez in Mexico. The story of our octopus adventure will appear in my sixth book, Hits, Heathens, and Hippos: Stories from an Agent, Activist, and Adventurer. That book is ready to go, […]
Marty’s photo of the day #3488: Evil vs. Silly. Here are the last two photos I’m going to post of the great gray owl that hung out at Deb’s and my house on Saturday. I made these photos near the end of that visit. The owl had moved to the arbor at the back corner […]
Marty’s photo of the day #3487: My writing room is on the second floor of our house, and it features two walls that are mostly windows. The view of the Bitterroot Mountains and the forest below is wonderful, especially at sunrise. Two years ago a great horned owl landed on a branch right outside one […]
Marty’s photo of the day #3486: My writing room is on the second floor of our house, and it features two walls that are mostly windows. The view of the Bitterroot Mountains and the forest below is wonderful, especially at sunrise. Two years ago a great horned owl landed on a branch right outside one […]
Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham is pleading with the Democrats not to impeach Donald Trump again. His reasoning is that Trump made a helpful statement, he’s going to be a good boy for his final eleven days, and that an impeachment will further divide us. Why is it that Republicans can be racist, hateful, greedy, and […]
Marty’s photo of the day #3485: This was one of the last photos of the evening during my solo adventure in the Everglades. I love how the flash catches the alligator’s eye.
Marty’s photo of the day #3484: Several years ago, I was on a college speaking tour in New York. One of my weekend filler engagements was at the Tanglewood Nature Center in Elmira. After my show, I got to hold a whole bunch of animals, including this Florida kingsnake.
