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 […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4711: A pretty little waterfall, hidden in the mountains, near the coast of northern Queensland, Australia.
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.
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 […]
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)
Marty’s photo of the day #4707: Just sittin’, watching a grizzly bear lumber by, in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
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 […]
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!
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 […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4703: A humpback whale, comin’ right at ya! (Photographed off the coast of Antarctica)
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 […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4701: Adélie penguin, photographed on a tiny island off the coast of Antarctica.
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 […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4699: This photo goes back to 2014, when Lara Flynn Boa was just a snakeling. Now she’s almost six feet long. It shows the importance of introducing a snake to the wonders of wine* early in its life! *Not really.
Marty’s photo of the day #4698: Bluebirds—female and male—photographed in Yellowstone National Park.
Marty’s photo of the day #4697: I had to work hard to get into position to photograph this toucan. In the rainforest, there is almost always a branch in the way! (Photographed in Costa Rica).
Marty’s photo of the day #4696: I photographed this butterfly pea in a wet tropical forest in Australia. I don’t think it’s native to Australia, however.
Marty’s photo of the day #4695: Deb and I have occasionally talked about returning to Antarctica, but we recently learned that getting to Antarctica by crossing the Drake Passage (famous for the roughest seas in the world) has largely become a thing of the past. Instead, people fly down to Antarctica and then get on […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4694: I photographed this while backpacking in Borneo. I haven’t identified the species. While it’s probably harmless, it’s still one of the many reasons why Deb and I had to be careful about accidentally touching things during our adventure.
