I probably don’t . . .
Marty’s photo of the day #4675: I probably don’t need to tell anyone where I shot this photo, but then, I live in a country where large numbers of people believe that vaccines are harmful and Derek Chauvin and Donald Trump are innocent. So for those people, here’s a photo of “Venus.”

Keep-away
Marty’s photo of the day #4670: Now that Nellie’s bionic left-rear leg is totally healed, we are back to all our old pre-surgery routines. One of those routines is a vigorous game of keep-away each morning, where Nellie will grab a stick and run at me full speed, only to dodge my grasp for the […]
Baby bison cuteness

Can you find the eye?

Not painted
Marty’s photo of the day #4665: Yes, it looks painted, but this beetle that I photographed in the Amazon Rainforest is real.
Zimbabwe elephant
Marty’s photo of the day #4664: I photographed this elephant while backpacking across Mana Pools National Park in Zimbabwe. Yeah, I used a telephoto lens.
Lake Superior
Marty’s photo of the day #4664: This is Lake Superior, with Duluth, Minnesota far in the distance. When I was growing up in Duluth, photography wasn’t something I put much thought into. Someday, I’d like to go back and photograph the lake when the ice buckles and starts piling up along the shore. It can […]
Let’s play!
Marty’s photo of the day #4663: “Come on Dad! My bionic leg feels great. Let’s play!” *For those that don’t know about Nellie’s bionic leg: She had TPLO surgery to remove the cranial cruciate ligament in her left-rear leg, refit the bone in her knee, and hold everything together with a metal plate and six […]
Seba’s short-tailed bats
Marty’s photo of the day #4662: Seba’s short-tailed bats, photographed in a tiny, abandoned farmhouse in the rainforest of Costa Rica.
From the Essen Wildlife Refuge
Marty’s photo of the day #4661: Yesterday, I didn’t post any photos from my “This Week at the Essen Wildlife Refuge” series that I often post on Sundays. That’s because at this time of year, the animal life in front of my motion-sensing cameras slows down substantially. Nevertheless, I’ve decided to share this recent, rather […]
Front porch elk
Marty’s photo of the day #4660: Other than Yellowstone National Park, The Amazon Rainforest of Peru, or Mana Pools National Park in Zimbabwe, I’ve never experienced more consistent wildlife sightings than on the Essen Wildlife Refuge (the 25 acres Deb and I own and fiercely protect, surrounding our house). Rarely does a day goes by […]
Hippos, the second day
Marty’s photo of the day #4659: As anyone who has read my first book, Cool Creatures, Hot Planet: Exploring the Seven Continents, or seen my college show, Around the World in 90 Minutes, knows, my wife, Deb, and I were attacked by a hippo on the Zambezi River in Zimbabwe. The hippo literally bit through […]
