Snake in the Dark
Marty’s photo of the day #5121: It wasn’t easy to take a photo while holding a camera in one hand, with a venomous snake crawling on my other hand, in the rainforest, in the dark, but I did it. This little cutey is a brown blunt-headed vine snake. Its venom is potent enough to immobilize […]

Saving the Toucan Shot
Marty’s photo of the day #5017: When Deb and I look back on all the adventures we’ve had around the world and pick favorites, our 2014 Costa Rica trip is always near the top of our list. Who knows? We may go back there some day. My photography on that trip was largely successful, partially […]
Flying Ballyhoo

Please Don’t Step on Me

Photographing the Eagle Ray
Marty’s photo of the day #4644: Before I was into underwater photography, I photographed this eagle ray from a small boat in Costa Rica. Deb and I are heading to an island off the coast of Belize in a few months. Eagle rays are there too, and I’ll be ready with my underwater camera!
Fred the Eyelash Viper
Marty’s photo of the day #4609: This is Fred the Eyelash Viper.
