Somewhere along the Antarctic coast
Marty’s photo of the day #4539: Somewhere along the coast of Antarctica. Yes, the water really was that color.
Turtle meet-ups
Marty’s photo of the day #4538: This is a hawksbill sea turtle. Deb and I met up with this particular turtle multiple times during our Bonaire snorkel outings. We could tell it was the same turtle by the marks on its shell. These turtles are listed as critically endangered, so it was a thrill for […]

A Fuzzy Gentoo Penguin Chick
Marty’s photo of the day #4536: I think many of you could use a photo of a fuzzy gentoo penguin chick right about now. (Photographed in Antarctica)
He is risen!
Marty’s photo of the day #4535: He is risen! Formerly known as the Republican Jesus, the resurrected Trump Jesus isn’t just for worthless prayers after school shootings anymore, he’s also there whenever you need him to justify a minority group to hate. Just pick a group and despise them in Trump Jesus’s name, and it […]

Adjusting the Electoral College
Marty’s photo of the day #4533: During the 2016 Presidential Election season, President Bill Clinton came to little Stevensville, Montana (15 miles away from where I live) to campaign on a flatbed trailer for Hillary Clinton.

Still Alive?
Marty’s photo of the day #4532: During the years 2001 through 2004, Deb and I explored all seven continents for my six-time award-winning first book, “Cool Creatures, Hot Planet: Exploring the Seven Continents.” Since that time, my mind has often wandered to the thousands of animals we saw during our journey. Are any of them […]
Where the Crocodiles Live
Marty’s photo of the day #4532: As mentioned yesterday, the first chapter of my first book, Cool Creatures, Hot Planet: Exploring the Seven Continents, takes place in Belize. The year was 2001, and during part of that trip we stayed at the Blackbird Resort on the Blackbird Caye (basically Gilligan’s Island). Just this morning, I […]
Belize Again!
Marty’s photo of the day #4531: The first chapter of my first book, Cool Creatures, Hot Planet: Exploring the Seven Continents, takes place in Belize. The year was 2001, and during part of that trip we stayed at the Blackbird Resort on the Blackbird Caye. This photo is from that visit. Next fall, Deb and […]
The Party Boat
Marty’s photo of the day #4530: While Deb and I were in Bonaire, every night at sunset we’d enjoy adult beverages on our balcony, and every night this party boat would pass by. I seriously considered mooning them, but I don’t think they would have seen me (I used a zoom lens for this shot).
