Owl eyes
Marty’s photo of the day #4302: Since people seemed to like yesterday’s butterfly from Belize, here’s another one from the same location. This butterfly is called an owl butterfly, because when it opens its wings, the big spot on each wing creates the illusion of owl eyes.
Malachite butterfly
Calliandra
Marty’s photo of the day #4294: This is a species of calliandra that I photographed in the wet tropical forest of Belize. While they don’t actually provide their own light, the first time I saw one it reminded me of a plug-in fiber optic Christmas tree.
Inspired by the Yagua
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 […]

Nighttime croc
Marty’s photo of the day #4003: An American crocodile pays an after-dark visit to Blackbird Caye, on the Turneffe Atoll, in Belize. American crocodiles are listed as a vulnerable species.
Not Rush Limbaugh’s brain
Marty’s photo of the day #3655: No, this is not a slice of Rush Limbaugh’s brain. It’s a formation inside a cave in Belize. And no, the formation wasn’t actually this color. I just got a little carried away with creative filters while preparing the photo for publication. And when I tried a reddish filter, […]
American crocodile
Marty’s photo of the day #3483: It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything from Belize, so here’s an American crocodile. I made this photograph at night, while on one of the Turnaffe islands. The flash gave the photo kind of an unrealistic, artsy feel.
Jabiru stork
A big kitty nap
Marty’s photo of the day #3421: For everyone who has been losing sleep this week, here’s a nice kitty, enjoying a nap. (Jaguar, photographed in Belize)
The intrepid wife
Marty’s photo of the day #3371: Book reviewers frequently call Deb my “intrepid wife.” This photo from Belize captures that thought.
Hiding from the missionaries
Marty’s photo of the day #3049: You’re probably wondering: what the hell is this picture about? When my wife and I were in Belize, we went horseback riding with one of the locals, and he took us to a cave, where we could see vampire bats up-close. This was one of the other sights inside […]
Belize howler monkey
Marty’s photo of the day #2716: Previously, I’ve posted howler monkeys that I photographed in Costa Rica. Here’s a howler monkey that I photographed in Belize.
Owl butterfly
Marty’s photo of the day #2705: I photographed this owl butterfly in Belize. The butterfly gets its name because when it opens its wings, the two big dots combine to look like owl eyes.
Along the Macal River
Marty’s photo of the day #2684: I took this photo while canoeing on the Macal River in Belize. Iguanas, like this one, live in the trees along the riverbank.
Animals A to Z. The Letter V
Marty’s photo of the day #2633: It’s “Animals A thru Z Month.” Each day in August, I will post an animal I’ve photographed—somewhere in the world—in alphabetical order. V is for Vampire Bat. Vampire bats are often exterminated when humans move into their territory. The bats are holding their own, for now, but they’re a […]
Animals A to Z. The Letter A
Marty’s photo of the day #2612: It’s “Animals A thru Z Month.” Each day in August, I will post an animal I’ve photographed—somewhere in the world—in alphabetical order. The name of every animal must start with the letter, and no letters will be skipped. Yes, I have photographed an animal with a name that begins […]
