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.
Marty’s photo of the day #4738: Meerkats! Okay, I confess this is a total cheat shot. I photographed these frisky little guys when I presented Around the World in 90 Minutes at the Oglebay Good Zoo in Wheeling, West Virginia. Someday, I’m confident, I’ll photograph meerkats in the wild.
Marty’s photo of the day #4737: People tend to dislike vultures, but they are incredibly useful birds. Take this black vulture that I photographed in southern Florida. Who’s to say that she didn’t eat something incredibly rotten and disgusting before flying over Mar-a-Lago and letting it rip!
Marty’s photo of the day #4735: This photo shows Nellie keeping me company last fall on Vancouver Island. When Nellie joined our family, she was a skinny rescue dog, weighing just 42 pounds. She also had what appeared to be a burn on one of her legs. Yesterday, I wrote about Annie, a rescue dog, […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4734: Yesterday, I read a story about Republican Governor Kristi Noem shooting Cricket, her 14-month-old wirehaired pointer, claiming she was “less than worthless” as a hunting dog. It reminds me of another almost certain Republican, Cody Roberts, who made national news a few weeks ago for chasing down a wolf […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4733: Macro photography, somewhere north of the Arctic Circle, in the Yukon Territory.
Marty’s photo of the day #4732: Four years ago, this week, Donald Trump was busy fucking up the United States’ response to COVID-19, killing hundreds of thousands of people. All my in-person college speaking gigs were cancelled accept one: Eastern Arizona College. After the college assured me that everyone in the audience would be masked, […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4731: I shot this photo of Bill Clinton back in 2008, and it reminds me of how hypocritical Republicans and a little over half of the Christians in the United States are. In 1998, those people were salivating to impeach Clinton for an affair he had with a consenting adult. […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4730: I don’t know if I’ll be successful for the entire week, but I have been going through the photo files on my computer, trying to find pictures to post that fit the theme of the first of many criminal trials of the Great-Christian-White-Nationalist-Ordained-By-God-Persecuted-Like-Jesus Donald Fucking Trump. I shot this […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4729: A storm is moving in. And it’s going to be the most beautiful storm. The best storm. In fact, it could be Stormy for the next several weeks.
Marty’s photo of the day #4726: Today I head back to Montana, following two fun shows in Illinois. Thanks to Lake Land College and Eastern Illinois University for booking me. Here’s one of the humorous shots from my show, Around the World in 90 Minutes. It’s me, at a tiny hotel in the Yukon Territory, […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4725: Greetings again from Illinois! Here’s another photo from Around the World in 90 Minutes. This is Annie, a black flying fox, photographed at a flying fox rehabilitation and breeding facility in Queensland, Australia. I have one more college show before flying back to Montana. Here’s where I’m performing tonight: […]
