The baby Maverick
Marty’s photo of the day #4591: Three months ago, when Deb and I traveled to Vancouver Island, British Columbia, we drove all the way to the town of Port Hardy, on the northern tip of the island. We stayed there for three days and ate at the Sporty Bar & Grill twice. The first time […]
Steller’s Jay Blue
Marty’s photo of the day #4590: When camping in Canada, one can always depend on the Steller’s jays showing up. I photographed this one back in September while camping on Vancouver Island. This one was checking out my Ford Maverick truck to see if I had left any food open in the back. Ford calls […]
Victoria Falls (again)
Marty’s photo of the day #4589: I’ve posted photos of Victoria Falls (Zimbabwe) before, but here’s a different view. I shot this from the co-pilot’s seat of a bush plane.
Here, kitty, kitty
Jabiru stork
The stick library
Marty’s photo of the day #4586: As many of you know, Nellie had TPLO surgery on her left-rear leg four weeks ago. She’s doing great, but won’t be fully recovered until sometime in January. Until then, the veterinarian’s instructions are to not let Nellie climb stairs, run, or jump. That means keeping Nellie on a […]
From Costa Rica
Marty’s photo of the day #4585: I haven’t posted this one before, because I haven’t been able to find a positive ID. Photographed in Costa Rica.
Arctic Ocean canoeing
Marty’s photo of the day #4584: The last part of Deb’s and my canoe trip across the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge included canoeing across a small section of the Arctic Ocean. It was stunning. (For more, read my second book, Endangered Edens: Exploring the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, Costa Rica, the Everglades, and Puerto Rico.)
Nellie’s TPLO surgery and that damn mattress
Marty’s photo of the day #4583: We are three-and-a-half weeks into the eight-to-twelve weeks of Nellie’s recovery from TPLO surgery on her left rear leg. The worst is over, at least for Nellie. As you can see, much of the hair has grown back on her leg (which had been shaved clean), so she doesn’t […]
Antarctica scenic
Marty’s photo of the day #4582: Antarctica scenic, featuring a gentoo penguin adult (both parents care for the chick) and chick.

Bat butt
Marty’s photos of the day #4577: When traveling in Australia, it’s always important to check twice before sitting down. You never know when you might have bat butt.
Bear Glacier, 20 years ago
Marty’s photos of the day #4576: This is the Bear Glacier in British Columbia. I use a different picture of this glacier in my college show, Around the World in 90 Minutes, to talk about climate change (that lake wasn’t there 75 years ago). Deb and I had planned on visiting the Bear Glacier again […]
No cone for Nellie
Marty’s photos of the day #4575: Nellie is not ready to play with the big stick yet, but yesterday was a significant day in her recovery from TPLO surgery (Doggie Tommy John) on her left rear leg. Early in the morning, Nellie and I traveled to Missoula to get the staples taken out of her […]
