Marty’s photo of the day #4567: One of the joys of photography is that the camera can see things the human eye can’t. This great gray owl was outside my writing room window. She really doesn’t have a red eye, but I imagine she’s using it to watch a little incel mouse wearing a tiny […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4565: This is one of the giant blauw-blauw lizards of Bonaire. Actually, they’re quite small. It’s all in the photography.
Marty’s photo of the day #4564: The Yukon Territory of Canada is so beautiful in the fall. And the people there don’t call themselves Christians or patriots while voting for bigotry, misogyny, lies, and hate either!

Here’s the Story of Buddy, as told in my 6th book, Hits, Heathens, and Hippos: Stories from an Agent, Activist, and Adventurer: Four years after that, Lucy was still going strong, albeit with the help of a daily pain pill and glucosamine tablet. That’s when a third dog, Buddy, adopted us. I had known Buddy […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4554: This is a motion-sensing camera shot of a coyote crossing the Essen Wildlife Refuge (in Montana). Both coyotes and wolves cross the refuge, and as winter approaches the coyotes are all fluffy, inducing double-takes to make sure they aren’t actually wolves.

Marty’s photo of the day #4548: In my first book, Cool Creatures, Hot Planet: Exploring the Seven Continents, I wrote about Antarctica, and the strict rules we had about not approaching any animal closer than 15 feet. The animals, however, could approach as close as they wanted to.
