Marty’s photo of the day #5108: It’s been three weeks since my dog, Nellie, got her second bionic rear leg (TPLO surgery with a metal plate and six screws), and she is recovering much faster than the first time. She has to stay on leash for eight weeks, and this morning she practically dragged me […]
Marty’s photo of the day #5107: Many of the flowers at the Essen Wildlife Refuge have gone to seed, but that doesn’t make them unworthy of admiring.
Marty’s photo of the day #5106: Here’s a scenic shot from the top of the world. I’m standing a short distance from where the Jago River enters the Arctic Ocean—looking south over the river and the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
Marty’s photo of the day #5104: Here’s a little cuteness for your Sunday. It’s a baby Columbian ground squirrel, photographed in the Bitterroot Valley of Montana.

Marty’s photo of the day #5099: Comparing noses with one of the wild donkeys on the island of Bonaire.
Marty’s photo of the day #5098: Two days ago, I featured an action shot of this nighthawk. Today, I’m featuring a portrait. Nellie (the dog), gets partial credit for this photo, as she pointed the bird out to me. (Photographed at the Essen Wildlife Refuge in Montana.)

So Donald Trump gave a speech yesterday in South Dakota about . . . the dangers of communism. His speech follows an earlier Republican freakout about NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani doing the most communist thing in the history of the United States: suggesting that New York City residents set their air conditioners at 78 degrees […]
Marty’s photo of the day #5097: For the second day in a row, Nellie gets credit for my photo of the day. Until her new bionic leg heals, she is restricted to leash walks, and it was during a leash walk yesterday through the Essen Wildlife Refuge that we spotted this nighthawk. The nighthawk immediately […]
Marty’s photo of the day #5096: My dog, Nellie, has amazing senses. She gets credit for this shot. It was well after sunset when we stepped out onto the front porch. Immediately she knew something was sleeping among the trees a hundred feet straight out from us. I couldn’t tell what it was, so I […]
Marty’s photo of the day #5095: I photographed this Boyd’s forest dragon on a night-hike in Australia. These lizards get to be about 20 inches long. Unlike most lizards, they do not bask in the sun to regulate body temperature. Instead, they conform to the ambient air temperature of the rainforest. As such, they are […]
Marty’s photo of the day #5094: Five thousand pounds of snorting attitude. (Photographed while canoeing the Zambezi River in Zimbabwe.)
