Marty’s photo of the day #5041: This is a yellow-headed blackbird, photographed earlier this week. The bird was across a pond, at the Lee Metcalf National Wildlife Refuge, approximately 90 feet away. I normally don’t mention products (other than my books, because well . . . that’s what authors do), but I’ve been having fun […]
Marty’s photo of the day #5034-B (cropped version to show detail): Provided that Donald Trump doesn’t fuck things up so much that international travel becomes impossible, Deb and I are heading to Tanzania for the Great Migration early next year. Many years ago, we backpacked across Mana Pools National Park in Zimbabwe, but this time […]
Marty’s photo of the day #5034: Provided that Donald Trump doesn’t fuck things up so much that international travel becomes impossible, Deb and I are heading to Tanzania for the Great Migration early next year. Many years ago, we backpacked across Mana Pools National Park in Zimbabwe, but this time we’ll see different species. What […]
Marty’s photos of the day #4212-2013: Yesterday was a balmy 10 to 15 degrees below zero here at the Essen Wildlife Refuge. The clouds had moved out, and the sun was at the perfect angle to catch the snow glistening on all the trees with a tall mountain peak in the background. I’ve fallen in […]
It has been a beautiful 10 degrees below zero day here at the Essen Wildlife Refuge. The clouds moved out, and the sun was at the perfect angle to catch the snow glistening on all the trees with a tall mountain peak in the background. I’ve fallen in love with my Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS100 large-chip […]
Marty’s photo of the day #3583: One of my regrets from the travels for my first book, “Cool Creatures, Hot Planet: Exploring the Seven Continents,” was that digital cameras were just becoming popular, and I made some poor camera choices for a few of the trips. Instead of trying to save a few bucks, I […]
Marty’s photo(s) of the day #3409: Today is day #5 of my 2,600-mile roundtrip “Don’t Get COVID-19 and Die Tour.” I hope to reach home tonight, but that all depends on the snowstorm. My rental van has typical rental car tires, and the back is loaded with my late mother’s belongings. An accident with all […]
Marty’s photo of the day #3187: If I were able to go back in time and re-do my trips to all seven continents, the first thing I would do is buy a different camera for my Borneo adventure. I always travel with two cameras, and for a while I was updating one new camera each […]
Marty’s photo of the day #2747: Greetings from Milan, Italy. Today is our last day in the country, and we spent it in the quiet little town of Angera (45 minutes north of Milan). The town was just what we needed, because both Deb and I had reached our limit of traffic and crowds. We […]
