Marty’s photo of the day #4189: This is Fred, a young eyelash viper. For the entire week Deb and I were in Costa Rica, Fred hung out on a giant leaf near the door of our yurt. Each time we came and went, we would take a moment to greet Fred—a courtesy he “obviously” appreciated. […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4187: Wild turkeys aren’t native to Montana, but they certainly do well here. The same goes for the wild peacocks that frequent the Essen Wildlife Refuge. While sometimes I fret about how humans have moved so many animals out of their natural range, I know it could be worse. Instead […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4186: Salt Lake City, Utah is a seven-hour drive from where Deb and I live in Montana, so we occasionally drive there for concerts at the USANA Amphitheater. Once there, we also visit Antelope Island. When we were there earlier this year, to see Evanescence, much of the Great Salt […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4185: Here’s a photo from my second trip to the Amazon Rainforest of Peru. This is me with the coolest frog in the rainforest—a monkey frog. My wife, Deb, gets credit for this photo.
Marty’s photo of the day #4184: Here’s a zebra longwing butterfly, photographed in the Everglades. This photo also appears in my second book, Endangered Edens: Exploring the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, Costa Rica, the Everglades, and Puerto Rico.
Marty’s photo of the day #4183: I seldom do “cheat shots,” but when a friend offered to bring her semi-wild Canada lynx (used for education in the schools) over to the Essen Wildlife Refuge for a photo session, I couldn’t resist. And by semi-wild, I mean the lynx only threaten to rip my leg off […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4182: I mostly enjoy winter—the colder the better—but I know many people can’t wait for spring. With that in mind, I dedicate today’s photo—from last spring on the Essen Wildlife Refuge—to all those counting the days until spring comes around again.
Marty’s photo of the day #4181: Female red-winged blackbird, photographed in the Bitterroot Valley of Montana.
Marty’s photo of the day #4180: Nellie and I love the cold weather (anything below 20 degrees Fahrenheit), and we are disappointed that the temps are predicted to rise above freezing later this week. Cold weather means packed snow on the gravel roads for my early morning bike rides (instead of ice after a freeze-thaw), […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4177: Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww, baby badgers! (Photographed in the Bitterroot Valley of Montana)
Marty’s photos of the day #4174-4176: No, these are not photos from the James Webb Space Telescope. They’re photos from my driveway. Last night, when I took Nellie out for her final pee break, tiny snow crystals were falling from the sky. I shined my flashlight straight up and realized a cool photo opportunity was […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4173: Bottlenose dolphin, photographed along the coast of Costa Rica. This photo also appears in my second book, Endangered Edens: Exploring the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, Costa Rica, the Everglades, and Puerto Rico.
Marty’s photo of the day #4172: Deb and I watched this lioness and four of her companions hunt Cape buffalo along the bank of the Zambezi River in Zimbabwe. We didn’t see a kill, and after about an hour had to continue our journey downriver. I shot this photo as we canoed on by. This […]

Marty’s photo of the day #4169: ”If you think Election Week has been a hoot, just wait until Indictment Week!” (Long-eared owl, photographed in Montana)
Marty’s photo of the day #4168: Of the many adventures Deb and I had while traveling all seven continents for my first book, Cool Creatures, Hot Planet: Exploring the Seven Continents, the one that provides the most vivid memories was an incredible two hours in a Zodiac along the coast of Antarctica—playing with three humpback […]
