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.
Marty’s photo of the day #4835: This is my lovely wife, Deb, paddling a Yagua dugout canoe through the flooded Amazon Rainforest. I shot this photo during the rainy season, and even though the water varied in depth from 2 to 5 feet, she was not on a river. In the dry season, you could […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4834: I just loved the wild donkeys of Bonaire. I wanted to bring one . . . or ten home with me!
Marty’s photo of the day #4832: Some days, I have no idea what I’m going to post for my photo of the day. I just open the huge photo file on my computer and start searching. My favorites are when I find a new way to crop or lighten/darken a photo I’d overlooked. I shot […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4831: Puerto Rican boas hunting bats (the one on the right has one in its grasp) in a special cave—restricted from the public—in Puerto Rico. My wife and I got access because of the book and magazine article I was working on.
Marty’s photo of the day #4830: Hawksbill Sea Turtle, photographed last year off the coast of Bonaire.
Marty’s photo of the day #4828: When I was in kindergarten, my parents gave me a Diana camera. The first thing I did with it was shoot a roll of film featuring my feet and those of my friends. My dad threatened to take away the camera if I did it again. He was never […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4827: Nellie is an amalgam of conflicting breeds. The golden retriever in her loves the water, and the dingo in her would rather stay dry. The result is a compromise: she enjoys playing in the water as long as her feet touch the bottom. Earlier this week, however, Deb and […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4825: While nowhere near the size of spiders I’ve seen in the Amazon Rainforest, Australia, or Borneo, this is the biggest spider I’ve seen in Montana. I tried to identify it but couldn’t find an exact match. I think it’s a wolf spider subspecies. Look at those eyes! (You may […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4824: Deb, Nellie, and I were enjoying a picnic dinner yesterday along the Bitterroot River when this garter snake swam by. Based on the large lump in the snake’s belly, it too had enjoyed a picnic dinner! (Photographed in Montana)
Marty’s photo of the day #4823: Naptime for the baby moose. (Photographed on the Essen Wildlife Refuge in Montana)
Marty’s photo of the day #4821: I shot this photo many years ago when Deb and I spent our anniversary on the Bay of Biscay in Spain. I just read two novels that take place in Spain during the late 1400s, making me eager to return. Perhaps we’ll add it to our “Travel Overseas as […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4820: This boat took Deb and me on multiple adventures off the coast of Belize earlier this year. The waves were often rocking and rolling on our side of the island—sending the boat flying—so we’d go in search of calmer waters.
Marty’s photo of the day #4819: Here’s an illusion for you. This waterfall is less than three inches tall. (Photographed in Puerto Rico)
Marty’s photo of the day #4818: Sometimes a frigatebird just must work on her underwing tan! (Photographed in Belize)
