Marty’s photo of the day #4852: Happy International Blasphemy Day! Deposit your coin to light a candle. Because God will pay more attention to your prayer if you pay him first! The superstition here is that the candle continues to burn after the person leaves, symbolizing that their prayer also continues. (Photographed at a church […]

Marty’s photo of the day #4849: I photographed this lobster off the coast of Belize.

Marty’s photo of the day #4837: This is one of my favorite optical illusion photos (especially when viewed on a big screen). Because of the reflection, the alligator looks like it’s floating in the air. (Photographed many years ago while on a speaking tour in Mississippi.)
Marty’s photo of the day #4836: I think some of us could use a cute northern saw-whet owl pick-me-up today. This little owl hung out on our front porch steps a few summers ago.
