Marty’s photo of the day #3814: I took this photo after midnight, in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (there was 24 hours of sunlight in June). Deb and I had canoed thirty-five miles across the refuge, and here the Jago River is a couple hundred yards from entering the Arctic Ocean (to my back in […]
Marty’s photo of the day #3812: Deb and I call our house “the tree house,” because it is located at 4,000 feet, in the trees, at the edge of the mountains. I took this photo yesterday on our evening property-hike. On a clear day, you would see mountains directly ahead, but yesterday we were quite […]
Marty’s photo of the day #3812: Flamingos along the coast of Southern France in 2003. Deep mud prevented me from getting close enough for a high-quality shot with the “early digital” camera I had with me at the time. Perhaps someday, I’ll make it back with far-superior gear I use now.
Marty’s photo of the day #3811: Night hikes in rainforests always bring out creatures that make you say, “What the fuck is that!” This is a long-legged centipede, photographed on a Borneo night hike.
Marty’s photo of the day #3811: Nellie helps me look for snakes in the tall grass, at the American Prairie Reserve, earlier this summer.

Marty’s photo of the day #3809: My dog, Nellie, gets credit for this shot. Yesterday I took her outside for a pee break and she immediately sniffed the air and charged into the woods. I assumed it was just her five-times-daily inventory of trees containing squirrels, but then she barked and froze. Just ahead of […]
Marty’s photo of the day #3808: French frogs! I took this photo at Parc Naturel Régional de Camargue in France. To get into position for this photo, I have my camera in one hand and am leaning over a ditch. My wife, Deb, is my counterweight, holding onto my other hand and pulling with all […]
Marty’s photo of the day #3807: After spending most of this week on a college speaking tour and yesterday catching up on office work, I settled into my red writing room this morning, eager to get back to work on my latest novel. This is the view that greeted me as I sat down. Some […]
Marty’s photo of the day #3805: I haven’t posted for a while because I have been so busy on my North Dakota/Minnesota college speaking tour. Today’s photo is of a house I passed on the highway just outside of Hutchinson, Minnesota. Even in liberal Minnesota, when you get into the country there are still Trump […]
Marty’s photo of the day #3804: The city of Kuching, in the state of Sarawak, in the country of Malaysia, on the island of Borneo—at night.
Marty’s photo of the day #3802: This is a corner of the Cathedral Viejo in Plasencia, Spain. All the disturbing images lining the outside of the church were enough to give people nightmares. Perhaps the designers of this Catholic church were being honest about the many thousands of predator priests who create such nightmares inside […]
Marty’s photo of the day #3801: Here’s a shot from several years ago, when I had a break between college speaking tours in Arizona and California: the Sonoran Desert in bloom.
Marty’s photo of the day #3798: Today we travel to the western side of Spain to hike with a Spanish ibex.
