Marty’s photo of the day #4720: My favorite day last week was snorkeling the Great Blue Hole, 40 miles off the coast of Belize. Jacques Cousteau declared the Blue Hole one of the top five scuba diving sites in the world, but having seen video of a trip to its 400-foot-deep bottom, I think the […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4719: I have tons of photos to share from last week’s Belize adventure: sharks, rays, fish, birds, crabs, iguanas, and more. Deb and I had a cabana overhanging the ocean, so I spent a lot of time photographing birds. This is a brown pelican in mid-dive.

Marty’s photo of the day #4714: Everything blooming at the Essen Wildlife Refuge. So, for the next few days, we’ll take a tour. Okay, these are fungi, not flowers. We’ll call it “fungi-ing.”
Marty’s photo of the day #4713: Everything is in bloom at the Essen Wildlife Refuge. So, for the next few days, we’ll take a tour. This is grape hyacinth (pretty, but not native to Montana).

Marty’s photo of the day #4709: We have everything at the Essen Wildlife Refuge, including an extremely rare two-headed elk . . . and a bigfoot. Of course, a bigfoot!
