Marty’s photo of the day #4659: This is a scene from my all-time favorite campsite, located in the Yukon Territory of the still free, not fucking insane, country of Canada. After dark, wolves came down from the mountain to howl around our tent.

Ocean Surgeonfish
Marty’s photo of the day #4657: These are ocean surgeonfish, photographed last fall off the coast of Bonaire.
Goldentail Moray Eel
Marty’s photo of the day #4656: I normally don’t post photos of this poor quality, but I was in 30 feet of water when I spotted this beautiful goldentail moray eel slithering among the “sea tribbles.” Photographed off the coast of Bonaire.
The Fluffy Fox
Marty’s photo of the day #4655: Yesterday, someone requested a fox photo. So I dug into my photos from crossing the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and found this fluffy red fox.
Let’s Go With the Deer
Marty’s photo of the day #4654: The motion-sensing camera shots last week at the Essen Wildlife Refuge included nighttime images of foxes, coyotes, and bigfoots, and daytime images of deer. Since no one wants a nighttime bigfoot photo, let’s go with the deer.
Turtle! Turtle! Turtle!
Marty’s photo of the day #4653: I photographed this green sea turtle last September off the coast of Bonaire. Each time either Deb or I saw a turtle, we’d call out to the other: “Turtle! Turtle! Turtle!” We just loved them. Commentary: Can you imagine Felon 47 or Elon Musk getting excited about seeing a […]
Great Horned Owl
Black Bear Meet Up
Marty’s photo of the day #4651: This black bear was ambling down a trail Deb and I were hiking up in Yellowstone National Park a few years ago. I’m trying not to think about what will happen to YNP now that Evil 1 and Evil 2 are intent on fucking up our national lands. Both […]
Flying Squirrel
Marty’s photo of the day #4650: While going through my photo files this morning, I came across an image from 2017 that I had forgotten about. That was the summer a flying squirrel took over the birdhouse outside my writing room window.
Where’s Wilson?
Marty’s photo of the day #4649: Nellie has a variety of balls, and she chooses one to play with each time we go outside. This photo shows her on a summer day, chasing her volleyball, Wilson. Unfortunately, she lost Wilson in the deep snow earlier this winter. With the recent warm weather, Wilson should be […]
Southern Pig-Tailed Macaque
Marty’s photo of the day #4648: This is a southern pig-tailed macaque, photographed on the island of Borneo.
Bighorn Sheep
Indego Flycatcher
Marty’s photo of the day #4646: This is a nighttime shot of an indigo flycatcher, deep in the rainforest of Borneo.
Boycott Billionaires Day
Marty’s photo of the day #4645: Although I think Eat a Billionaire Day would’ve been more fun than today’s economic boycott of billionaires, I am participating. For those who aren’t spending a penny today, here’s a nice picture of the Yukon River in Canada, a country not led by fascists.
Photographing the Eagle Ray
Marty’s photo of the day #4644: Before I was into underwater photography, I photographed this eagle ray from a small boat in Costa Rica. Deb and I are heading to an island off the coast of Belize in a few months. Eagle rays are there too, and I’ll be ready with my underwater camera!
Eurasian coot
The Replacement Canoe
Marty’s photo of the day #4642: As documented in my first book, Cool Creatures, Hot Planet: Exploring the Seven Continents, a hippo bit through Deb’s and my canoe, lifted us 6 feet into the air, and tossed us on shore. This hippo was checking out our replacement canoe. (Photographed in Zimbabwe)
Greater Kudu
Marty’s photo of the day #4641: This is a greater kudu, photographed while backpacking across Mana Pools National Park in Zimbabwe.
Tiny Weevil
Marty’s photo of the day #4640: This is a weevil, small enough to sit on a fingernail, photographed in the Amazon Rainforest of Peru.
