On a Forest Walk

A Rude Awakening
Marty’s photo of the day #4807: She’s so cute and fuzzy and . . . dusty! Yesterday, I used my battery-powered leaf blower to clean off the side porch. When I aimed at all the balls Nellie (the dog) stores in a corner, I startled a bat that was sleeping among them. The bat wasn’t […]

Juvenile Cedar Waxwing
Marty’s photo of the day #4805: Yesterday Deb and I took our dog, Nellie, hiking in the Calf Creek Wildlife Management Area (on the east side of the Bitterroot Valley in Montana). As we were returning to the car, Deb spotted this bird. We weren’t sure what it was, so I shot a few photos. […]

Brown Pelican Dive
Marty’s photo of the day #4801: Whenever I’m around brown pelicans, I try to get the ultimate dive shot, showing contact with the water. It’s not easy, as the perfect shot requires good lighting, finding a fast-moving bird in the viewfinder, and keeping the damn bird in the viewfinder. I haven’t achieved perfection yet, but […]
Vervet Monkey
Find the Ray
Marty’s photo of the day #4799: I fell in love with underwater photography not only for the brilliantly colored sealife, but also for the joy of finding and photographing the commonly missed. I’ve cropped and adjusted this photo to better show the ray, but when viewing live, it was much more difficult to see. Photographed […]
No Ice Barbie Here
Marty’s photo of the day #4798: This is my wife, Deb, blowing bubbles with Yagua children in Peru. Looking at this photo, can you imagine replacing Deb with Ice Barbie Kristi Noem or anyone else from the Trump administration? Well, I guess you can, but all the joy would be gone.
What a Great Face!
Marty’s photo of the day #4797: Is that a great face, or what? I photographed this baby yellow-spotted river turtle with a film camera, in 2001, on my first trip to the Amazon Rainforest of Peru. I often wonder which animals I photographed while traveling all seven continents in the early 2000s are still alive. […]
