Marty’s photo of the day #5166: Humpback at sunrise! Deb, Nellie, and I have returned to Montana after two wonderful weeks on Vancouver Island. Other than the usual unpacking ritual, today I will begin sorting through the many photos I shot on the trip. In the meantime, I grabbed this one more for the memory […]
Marty’s photo of the day #5165: Deb, Nellie, and I just completed three nights at what may be the most awesome campsite in North America. We found a private, one-tent-campsite right on the Johnstone Strait in the northern region of Vancouver Island. From our private beach, we watched numerous bird species, a sea lion, a […]
Marty’s photo of the day #5163: Two days ago, Deb and I watched at least ten humpback whales in the Johnstone Strait (off the coast of far northern Vancouver Island). Not all humpback whales flash their tails, so when they do, it’s always exciting. For a size comparison, look closely under the tail on the […]
Marty’s photo of the day #5162: Yesterday was a stunning day on Vancouver Island! Deb and I spent the afternoon on a boat, watching and photographing dozens of orca whales, at least ten humpback whales, plus sea lions, sea otters, eagles, and a variety of other animals. This was our first time seeing orcas in […]

Marty’s photo of the day #4724: Greetings from Mattoon, Illinois!

Here’s where I am performing this week: Wednesday, April […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4703: A humpback whale, comin’ right at ya! (Photographed off the coast of Antarctica)
Marty’s photo of the day #4550: Any time photographing whales is a great time, and I had so much fun last month photographing gray whales off of Vancouver Island. The difference between photographing humpback whales (as I did off of Antarctica) and gray whales is that gray whales generally don’t come as far out of […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4514: This tail belongs to a gray whale named Indigo (read on to learn how I know that). While working on my first book, Cool Creatures, Hot Planet: Exploring the Seven Continents, Deb and I experienced multiple close-up humpback whale encounters off the coast of Antarctica. The whales would approach […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4512: While working on my first book, Cool Creatures, Hot Planet: Exploring the Seven Continents, Deb and I experienced multiple close-up humpback whale encounters off the coast of Antarctica. The whales would approach our Zodiac (a small rubber boat) and—just when it looked like they might capsize us—they’d dive under […]
