Marty’s photo of the day #4211: Without intending to do so, it seems that this has turned into a week of posting photos of Deb and me all over the world. Well, since I have momentum. . . . This photo from December 2018 shows the two of us at L’Arena di Verona in Verona, […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4210: This is the path Deb and I hiked to the Matterhorn in Switzerland. Our goal was to make it one-third of the way up (we didn’t have ropes), but at one-quarter of the way up, ice took over, and the prospect of sliding over the edge reminded me that […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4208: Here’s a photo from my first book, Cool Creatures, Hot Planet: Exploring the Seven Continents. It’s a giant ceiba borer beetle, photographed in the Amazon Rainforest of Peru.
Marty’s photo of the day #4206: This is an Antarctic fur seal, photographed on a foggy island off the coast of Antarctica. This gorgeous animal is another example of why I despise hunting. Hunters love to proclaim they are “conservationists,” but the facts are that hunters only become that way after laws stop their carnage. […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4204: Some people say religion makes a person good. That’s bullshit. Practically without exception, the most awful people I know—and know of—are the most religious. No, the true test of a person’s character is how they treat their dogs (or cats, if they swing that way). Yeah, I’m not guided […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4203: There are nine waterbucks in this photo. Can you find them all? (Photographed in Zimbabwe)
Marty’s photo of the day #4202: This is an outtake from the photoshoot for the cover of my first book, Cool Creatures, Hot Planet: Exploring the Seven Continents. Yes, that is a real tailless whip scorpion on my forehead. They are mostly harmless, but having them crawl all over my face for the photoshoot tickled. […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4201: I shot this photo shortly after Deb and I climbed a glacier on Antarctica. All of a sudden, giant snowflakes began falling. It was simply magical! Below where I am standing is a gentoo penguin colony, and if you look in the upper left-hand corner, you will see our […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4200: This short excerpt from my second book—Endangered Edens: Exploring the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, Costa Rica, the Everglades, and Puerto Rico—explains the shot: Most of the water I had seen up to this point had been clear, but the pond where I released the Everglades rat snake was covered […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4198: “Don’t you come flying up to me, mister. I know where you’ve been!” (Photographed in Mexico)
Marty’s photo of the day #4197: I’m just sitting on the floor of the Sea of Cortez with my new friend, Mrs. Octopus.
Marty’s photo of the day #4196: Here’s some gentoo penguin chick cuteness for your Wednesday. (Photographed on a tiny island off the coast of Antarctica)
Marty’s photo of the day #4195: Hanging out for a few hours with members of the Yagua tribe along a tributary of the Amazon River was a big event for both visitors and residents. Deb and I brought the children harmonicas, T-shirts, and bubbles, and in return we got to walk through their village and […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4194: This is an extreme close-up of the amazing tundra plant life in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Or, as Republican oil company sycophants call it, “A bunch of nothing.”
Marty’s photo of the day #4192: Greetings from the great white north, eh? I shot this photo while standing on a tiny island in the Arctic Ocean. Try as I might, I just couldn’t see Putin from here.
Marty’s photo of the day #4191: Some mornings, I have a plan on what to post for my photo of the day. Other mornings, I just open folders of my photos that I’ve saved to my computer and look for one that speaks to me. Many times those instantly selected photos surprise me: “Oh, I […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4190: I photographed this elephant while hiking across Mana Pools National Park in Zimbabwe. I’m not sure if it was just her earlier mud-bath, but she looked quite old to me.
