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 […]

It’s McCarthyism All Over again!
It’s McCarthyism all over again! Only this time the fascist government of Felon 47 wants people to turn-in teachers who promote Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. Yes, people can actually report “divisive” teachers who mention the Civil War was actually over slavery! If you don’t believe me, here it is: www.EndDEI.ed(dot)gov. The accompanying photo is of […]
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!

On a Borneo Night Hike
Stepping onto Antarctica
Marty’s photo of the day #4638: On February 21, 2003, Deb and I stepped onto Antarctica, with giant snowflakes coming down. At the time, we were among the first two hundred thousand or so people in the history of the world to walk on the continent. And soon, we’d join an even smaller number that […]
Black Vultures
Headwaters of the Jago River
Marty’s photo of the day #4637: See that circle of ice between the mountains? That’s the headwaters of the Jago River. I shot this photo from a tiny airplane, as Deb and I flew south out of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. A few miles to the north, the river had melted, allowing us to […]

Flower From a Plantain Tree

Nature’s Art
Marty’s photo of the day #4633: Nature’s art! This is a close-up of a cave wall in the Australian Outback. It was very dark in there, until the flash fired.
Winter Chocolates
Dogs are truly a superior species. While the humans in Nellie’s family fret over greedy Nazi and felon co-presidents who are willing to let people die for a tax cut, all she needs to make her smile is a deep pile of fresh snow. Oh, and frozen deer poops—winter chocolates!
Relaxing on an Iceberg
Marty’s photo of the day #4632: This is a leopard seal, on an iceberg along the coast of Antarctica.
