Marty’s photo of the day #4758: The “wild” in wildlife is pretty much a guarantee that whatever it is will refuse to be predictable. My wife’s college roommates and their husbands came to visit from Minnesota this past week, and most had heard about all the wildlife we have at the Essen Wildlife Refuge. But, […]

Marty’s photo of the day #4755: These are western painted turtles, photographed in the Bitterroot Valley of Montana. And I found out their names! The one on the left is Mitch; the one on the right is his brother Mitch; and the one on the bottom is his other brother Mitch.

Marty’s photo of the day #4751: Yesterday, I featured a 20-year-old picture from Spain that I was able to improve enough with my recently updated photo program to post. Here’s another one: This leopard photo is almost as old, and it was so late in the evening when I shot it that I barely had […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4750: When Deb and I were in Spain, some 20 years ago, we hiked an amazing valley in Parque Regional de la Sierra de Gredos (it was just us and the Spanish ibex). That valley rose like the tip of a canoe at the far end, and then abruptly dropped […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4749: The Rufous hummingbirds have arrived and enthusiastically announced, “We’ve endured a long migration, and we’re hungry. Where’s the feeder? It was here last year. Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!”

Marty’s photo of the day #4745: Zebras are very skittish animals. I had to stalk these two, almost like a lion would do, to get close enough for a picture. Photographed in Zimbabwe.
Marty’s photo of the day #4744: Our dog, Nellie, gets the credit for this photo. Last night, we were out for a walk in the Essen Wildlife Refuge, when she insisted something to play with was under a log. I thought she’d found a mouse, but it turned out to be a western skink. When […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4743: Here’s a moose for your Monday. Photographed on the Essen Wildlife Refuge (Montana).
Marty’s photo of the day #4742: This is a tiny section of the Duomo di Firenze in Florence. When in Italy, I spent quite a bit of time photographing and admiring the beautiful and spectacular architecture of Catholic Churches. At the same time, I couldn’t help but think about the more than 1 million child […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4740: You can only see one in this photo, but at the time, I was watching six lions (all female) hunting Cape buffalo. Photographed while canoeing the Zambezi River in Zimbabwe.
Marty’s photo of the day #4739: You can’t tell, because of the flash, but I photographed this tiny frog on a dark and rainy night, somewhere deep in the rainforest of Borneo.
