More Character Than the GOP
Marty’s photo of the day #4611: This tree has more character than the entire Republican Party. Photographed in Zimbabwe.
Night Heron in Flight
Marty’s photo of the day #4610: I thought about tightly cropping this night heron photo, but I like how the bird is frozen over the mountains. It’s almost as if I digitally combined two photos, which I didn’t do. Photographed in Mexico.
Fred the Eyelash Viper
Marty’s photo of the day #4609: This is Fred the Eyelash Viper. He hung out near the door of the cabana my wife and I were renting the entire time I was working on the Costa Rica section of my second book, Endangered Edens: Exploring the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, Costa Rica, the Everglades, and […]
Macaw Taunts
Marty’s photo of the day #4608: While I was in Costa Rica, the scarlet macaws taunted me, flying by in a flash before I could raise my camera. Then, on the day I was leaving, this one had mercy and landed on a branch just above my head. “Is this close enough?”

It’s Molting Time!
Marty’s photo of the day #4603: It’s molting time! This is an adolescent gentoo penguin during her first molt, and she seems rather happy about getting rid of all the chick fuzz. Photographed on a tiny island off the coast of Antarctica.
Not what the GOP claims it is
Marty’s photo of the day #4602: Whenever Republicans take control, they want to head north and “Drill baby, drill.” Therefore, this is my frequent reminder that the Arctic is not the “bunch of nothing” they claim it is. This is a close-up of tundra, north of the Arctic Circle.
Amazon Tree Boa
Marty’s photo of the day #4601: This is an Amazon tree boa, photographed in the Amazon Rainforest of Peru.
Apparently, it’s edible. . . .
Marty’s photo of the day #4600: This is eyeball fungi, photographed in the rainforest of Borneo. Apparently, it is edible. . . . We didn’t test that theory.
If I had to list my influences . . .
The Silver Squad: Rebels With Wrinkles is totally original. But if I had to list my influences for this novel they would be a dollop of Harold and Maude, a pinch of Dexter, a sprinkle of Thelma & Louise, a dash of Bonnie and Clyde, a quiver of Robin Hood, and a curmudgeon of A […]
Brown Pelican At Sunset
