Marty’s photo of the day #4128: This week I’m taking a break from wildlife photos to post some of my favorite concert pictures. I have been a Joan Jett fan since I was the only kid in my high school with all The Runaways albums, and back when I was a partner in my first […]

Do I have to say his Name?
Marty’s photos of the day #4118-4120: This week I’m taking a break from wildlife photos to post some of my favorite concert photos. Today’s photos are of . . . “Do I have to say his Name?” On November 28, 2012, Deb and I took our son, Sean, to see Bruce Springsteen at the Rose […]

Mana Pool
Upside down!
Marty’s photo of the day #4113: “See! I can swim upside down!” Snorkeling with sea lions in the Sea of Cortez (Mexico).
Orphaned by palm oil plantations
Marty’s photo of the day #4112: For part of my time on the island of Borneo, I stayed in a cabana at the edge of a rainforest, while Deb scuba dived off a smaller island. A short distance away was the Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre. After dark, I headed out on my own for a […]
The bulky camera that could
Marty’s photo of the day #4111: For the last month or so, I’ve been exclusively posting photos I took in the United States. It’s time to return to posting photos I took all over the world. I shot this white-lipped tree frog in Queensland, Australia, twenty years ago. At the time, digital photography was in […]
Photographing prairie dogs
Marty’s photo of the day #4110: Last month, in the American Prairie Reserve, I shot almost one hundred prairie dog photos. Ultimately, I will only post two or three of them. Many photos are nearly identical, but since I never use a tripod, a close inspection of a series of shots may have one where […]
Frankenfurter, is that you?
Marty’s photo of the day #4109: No, this isn’t a spaceship from the planet Krichardia, or the giant lips of Dr. Frankenfurter, returning to sing one more time. Instead, it’s a sunset as seen from Antelope Island in Utah. Distant mountains, hidden by smoke, create the optical illusion.
Sunset over the Judith River
Marty’s photo of the day #4108: Deb and Nellie watching the sunset over the Judith River in the American Prairie Reserve. I don’t know what treasure Nellie has in her mouth, but as long as it isn’t elk poop or a bone from some wild animal, we’ll consider it legal.
Walking on water
Marty’s photo of the day #4107: In this photo Nellie and I have a difference of opinion: I’m trying to teach her how to walk on water, but she’d rather we play with the great stick she found! (Photographed on the Judith River in the American Prairie Reserve)
A splash of yellow
Marty’s photo of the day #4106: A splash of yellow, after hiking to the southern tip of Antelope Island.
Pronghorns and antelopes
Marty’s photo of the day #4105: Pronghorns, bison, and coyotes were animals Deb and I saw in both parts of our split American Prairie Reserve (Montana) and Antelope Island (Utah) vacation last month. Of course, the animal in today’s photo, correctly called a pronghorn in Montana, would commonly be called an antelope on Antelope Island. […]
Flowers along the Judith River
Marty’s photo of the day #4104: I photographed these unusual flowers last month, along the Judith River in the American Prairie Reserve (Montana). Note that they have both green and purplish petals. My wife and I went through multiple books and websites that featured Montana wildflowers and couldn’t come up with an ID, but I […]
Pied-billed grebe
Marty’s photo of the day #4103: This is a pied-billed grebe, photographed last month in the Farmington Bay Waterfowl Management Area (Utah).
The last sunset
Marty’s photo of the day #4102: I shot this photo last month in the American Prairie Reserve of Montana. Nature saved the best sunset of our stay for our last night on the prairie!
