Zambezi Sunset
Spanish Ibex ver 2003
Marty’s photo of the day #4691: I shot this Spanish Ibex photo back in 2003, with my first digital camera (a Sony Mavica that recorded onto a mini CD). That camera was great for close-up photos of stationary objects, but not so great for distant or moving objects. Through the years, my photo processing programs […]
Moonshot
Marty’s photo of the day #4690: Last night there was a stunning moon over the mountains. I grabbed my camera and tried a few handheld shots. It’s fun when the camera sees what the human eye can’t: all I saw was the white, but the camera saw the entire moon.

Marty’s photo of the day #4687: Several years ago, I presented my show, Around the World in 90 Minutes, at the Oglebay Good Zoo in West Virginia. I have mixed feelings about zoos, which I won’t get into here. After my show, I got a private behind the scenes tour of the zoo that included […]
One of my all-time favorite radio interviews
Marty’s photo of the day #4686: I came across this today while going through my photo files, looking for a wildlife photo to post. Obviously, it’s not wildlife, but it was wild. It’s from one of my favorite radio interviews of all-time. I was on a book tour, in 2016, for my second book, Endangered […]
Elk hide and seek
Marty’s photo of the day #4685: Playing hide and seek with a big bull elk, last summer, on the Essen Wildlife Refuge.
More saw-whet owl cuteness
Marty’s photo of the day #4684: Deb and I have been hearing saw-whet owls in the forest surrounding our house during the past few weeks. With that in mind, here’s a cute saw-whet owl that landed on our front deck steps in the summer of 2021.
First moose of 2024
Marty’s photo of the day #4683: Yesterday Deb (wife), Nellie (dog), and I were on our evening walk, following the border of the Essen Wildlife Refuge. Nine out of ten times, Nellie will see wildlife before either Deb or I do, but she was off in a different direction when I spotted this big moose […]
Surprise!
Marty’s photo of the day #4682: A leopard seal surprise. Photographed along the coast of Antarctica.
Saw-whet owl visitor
Marty’s photo of the day #4681: Deb and I have been hearing saw-whet owls in the forest surrounding our house during the past few weeks. That sent me digging into my photo files to find this cute saw-whet owl that paid us a visit—landing on our front deck steps—in the summer of 2021.
Ears flapping!
Marty’s photo of the day #4680: Nellie, ears flapping! She’s now damn close to being just as fast as she was pre-bionic left-rear leg (surgery to remove her cranial cruciate ligament, refit the bone in her knee—all held together with a metal plate and six screws). I still cringe when she makes sharp cuts to […]
Zebras
More icebergs
Comb-crested agamid lizard

I probably don’t . . .
Marty’s photo of the day #4675: I probably don’t need to tell anyone where I shot this photo, but then, I live in a country where large numbers of people believe that vaccines are harmful and Derek Chauvin and Donald Trump are innocent. So for those people, here’s a photo of “Venus.”
Somewhere in the Yukon Territory
