Marc-André Fleury
Marty’s photo of the day #4635: It was so much fun watching Marc-André Fleury become the second winningest goalie in NHL history last night, leading the Minnesota Wild to a 5 to 0 shutout of the New York Islanders. Pulling for Fleury is so much better than pulling for assholes, such as football’s Aaron Rodgers. […]
Kate, raccoon!
Marty’s photo of the day #4634: This old photo, shot directly behind Deb’s and my house, will always make me think of our late golden retriever, Kate. She was the first to spot the raccoon, and for years afterward we could call out, “Kate, raccoon!” and she’d look in the same tree. Admittedly, I often […]

Porcupine
Fairy snow
Marty’s photo of the day #4631: No, this isn’t another photo from the James Webb Space Telescope. Instead, it’s a shot from my Canon R50 camera. Some nights, when it gets really cold outside, we get ice crystal “fairy” snow. Last night was one of those times. Whenever it happens I experiment various photography techniques […]
Two-headed snake thing
Marty’s photo of the day #4630: Last night my wife, Deb, pointed out that Eve and her daughter, Lara Flynn Boa, were doing their “two-headed snake thing.” So I went upstairs to grab my camera, and then our dog, Nellie, decided to help with the photo session by placing her head between the lens and […]
Jesus Christ lizard
Marty’s photo of the day #4629: Jesus Christ lizards are called such because when young they can run across water on their hind legs. It’s quite comical to watch. (Photographed in Costa Rica)
Out for a ride with Dad
Marty’s photo of the day #4628: A Yagua girl out for a ride with Dad. (Photographed in the Amazon Rainforest of Peru)
American Prairie
Marty’s photo of the day #4627: Deb and I spent a week during the falls of 2021 and 2022 visiting Montana’s American Prairie. Each time we rented a yurt, and it felt like having our own cabin on the reserve. We skipped 2023, because we didn’t want the place to lose its special feeling. We […]
Looking for bunnies
Marty’s photo of the day #4626: In honor of the University of Montana Grizzlies football team playing the NCAA Division 1 FCS National Championship Game today, here’s a trio of grizzlies—looking for bunnies.
More icebergs
Marty’s photo of the day #4625: More icebergs near Antarctica. This time, we’ll add in stormy seas, too.

Elephant
Red-tailed hawk
Marty’s photo of the day #4623: This is a red-tailed hawk. It’s also a rescue animal, so it’s kind of a cheat shot.
Northern shoveler
Marty’s photo of the day #4622: Northern shoveler, photographed in the Bitterroot Valley of Montana.
Great blue heron
The untouched first book cover photo
Marty’s photo of the day #4620: For my final picture of the year, I’m posting the untouched photo for the cover of the First Edition of my first book, Cool Creatures, Hot Planet: Exploring the Seven Continents. That’s a tailless whip scorpion on my face, and my wife, Deb, shot the photo in the Amazon […]
Gray whale
Marty’s photo of the day #4619: Gray whale, photographed this past September off the coast of Vancouver Island.
