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 […]
Marty’s photo of the day #5013: If you are viewing this photo on a smartphone, it probably won’t look like much. But if you are viewing it on a big screen, it’s really, really cool! In 2014, Deb and I were in a boat along the coast of Costa Rica, watching bottlenose dolphins hunting, when […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4866: This is a fer-de-lance, photographed on a night hike in Costa Rica. Even though this venomous snake species kills more people than any other snake in the western hemisphere, they avoid people. Bites happen most often when they are stepped on.

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!
Marty’s photo of the day #4609: This is Fred the Eyelash Viper. He hung out near the door of the cabana my wife and I were renting the entire time I was working on the Costa Rica section of my second book, Endangered Edens: Exploring the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, Costa Rica, the Everglades, and […]

Marty’s photo of the day #4448: I photographed this howler monkey baby in Costa Rica. I love the reaching-out hand. And if you look just beyond the baby’s left ear, you will see part of the mother’s face.
Marty’s photo of the day 4433: When I was in Costa Rica, I saw this bird for maybe two seconds before it took off. So this photo isn’t as crisp as what I usually post. Nevertheless, it was a new bird sighting for me. It’s a scarlet-rumped tanager.
