Penguin colony
Marty’s photo of the day #4718: Look closely. It’s a penguin colony on an island off the coast of Antarctica. Most of the penguins are gentoos, but some are Adélies.
Greeting the Amazon tree boa
Marty’s photo of the day #4717: This is me, saying hi to a baby Amazon tree boa in the Amazon Rainforest of Peru.
Matusadona National Park and the black mamba
Marty’s photo of the day #4716: When I write and post photos of Deb’s and my Zimbabwe expedition, they are usually from our backpacking trip across Mana Pools National Park. Sometimes I forget that we also spent a few days in Matusadona National Park. Highlights here were quietly sneaking up on a black rhino and […]
Gray whale
Marty’s photo of the day #4715: Here’s a shot from last September—a gray whale near Vancouver Island.
Spotted bush snake
Marty’s photo of the day #4714: I photographed this spotted bush snake in Zimbabwe. It’s a relatively close mimic of the deadly boomslang.

Snow geese
Marty’s photo of the day #4712: This year, Freezeout Lake (located 200 miles northeast of where I live, in Montana) featured one of those amazing snow geese migration stopovers. It seems that every time that happens, Deb or I are either traveling or in the midst of a project (this year Deb was teaching weaving […]
Aussie waterfall
Marty’s photo of the day #4711: A pretty little waterfall, hidden in the mountains, near the coast of northern Queensland, Australia.
Iban girl
Marty’s photo of the day #4710: Deb and I met this adorable Iban girl at a longhouse, after our backpacking trip through the rainforest of Borneo.
Inside the tree
Marty’s photo of the day #4709: This is a rather confusing photo, until you know what it is. While hiking in Zimbabwe, I came across a huge old tree with a hole in its side. I wanted to know if anything was living in the tree, so I stuck my camera inside (with the flash […]
Two wild and crazy turkeys
Marty’s photo of the day #4708: Two wild and crazy turkeys, ready for wild and crazy turkey sex! (Motion-sensing camera photographed at the Essen Wildlife Refuge)
Watchin’ the grizzly bear
Marty’s photo of the day #4707: Just sittin’, watching a grizzly bear lumber by, in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
Rufous hummingbird
Marty’s photo of the day #4706: It’s too early for the Rufous hummingbirds to arrive here in Montana, so here’s one that hung out around the house a few years ago. Come to think of it, he could have hung out for multiple summers and maybe he’ll even return this year. Hummingbirds aren’t particularly long-lived […]
All alone in Puerto Rico
Marty’s photo of the day #4705: Once you get as far away from the cities and towns as possible, you can have Puerto Rico to yourself!
The disappearing moose
Marty’s photo of the day #4704: This is another photo of our spring moose, Martha. She has been hanging out in the Essen Wildlife Refuge for a few weeks now. Unless I’m traveling, not a day goes by that I don’t walk at least part of the 25 forested acres Deb and I protect for […]
Comin’ right at ya!
Marty’s photo of the day #4703: A humpback whale, comin’ right at ya! (Photographed off the coast of Antarctica)
This time, she’d had enough!
Marty’s photo of the day #4702: And suddenly, Nellie’s body stiffened. The crisp morning air carried the distant chirping of birds, and the exhilarating scent of fresh deer poop teased her senses. Yet at that moment, her eyes were fixated on the one creature that possessed the audacity to disrupt her joyful game of ball […]
Adélie penguin
Marty’s photo of the day #4701: Adélie penguin, photographed on a tiny island off the coast of Antarctica.
The Return of the Spring Moose
Marty’s photo of the day #4700: Here at the Essen Wildlife Refuge—the 25 acres at the edge of the mountains in Montana that Deb and I protect from hunters, loggers, and four-wheelers—we have always had a consistent population of moose. Sometimes we only see their scat and tracks; other times we will see them in-person […]
