Finding the Photo of The Day
Marty’s photo of the day #4832: Some days, I have no idea what I’m going to post for my photo of the day. I just open the huge photo file on my computer and start searching. My favorites are when I find a new way to crop or lighten/darken a photo I’d overlooked. I shot […]
Sea Otter Cuties
Marty’s photo of the day #4626: Sea otters are an endangered species. I photographed these cuties off the coast of Vancouver Island.

It must be awful to be Kristi Noem
Marty’s photo of the day #4735: This photo shows Nellie keeping me company last fall on Vancouver Island. When Nellie joined our family, she was a skinny rescue dog, weighing just 42 pounds. She also had what appeared to be a burn on one of her legs. Yesterday, I wrote about Annie, a rescue dog, […]

Surfer photography
Marty’s photo of the day #4596: Deb and I traveled to Vancouver Island this past September only because extreme forest fires blocked our original trip to the very top of Canada. Partway through our Vancouver Island trip, I was still saying, “Since this will be the only time we’ll be here,” but by the time […]
The baby Maverick
Marty’s photo of the day #4591: Three months ago, when Deb and I traveled to Vancouver Island, British Columbia, we drove all the way to the town of Port Hardy, on the northern tip of the island. We stayed there for three days and ate at the Sporty Bar & Grill twice. The first time […]
Steller’s Jay Blue
Marty’s photo of the day #4590: When camping in Canada, one can always depend on the Steller’s jays showing up. I photographed this one back in September while camping on Vancouver Island. This one was checking out my Ford Maverick truck to see if I had left any food open in the back. Ford calls […]
Wickup (fireweed)
Marty’s photos of the day #4559: This is wickup (fireweed), photographed last month on Vancouver Island.
Bald Eagle in flight
Marty’s photo of the day #4551: I saw quite a few bald eagles last month on Vancouver Island and concentrated on photographing them in flight. Usually I’d see them far away, eating a fish on a spit of land, and start photographing them with my largest lens (I don’t use a big honking lens because […]
Photographing whales
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 […]
Banana slug
Marty’s photo of the day #4547: I know what you’re thinking: “Oh, look! The Republicans finally settled on their brightest for the Speaker of the House, and Marty snapped a picture of his acceptance speech.” But it’s actually a banana slug, photographed on Vancouver Island.
A four-pack of harbor seals
Marty’s photo of the day #4544: A four-pack of harbor seals, photographed on a tiny island off the coast of Vancouver Island.
The S.S. Minnow?
Marty’s photo of the day #4543: So as it turned out, Gilligan, the Skipper, the Professor, Ginger, Mary Ann, Eunice, and Thurston, were actually marooned on Vancouver Island! About the photo: While camping in a remote area along the Johnstone Strait on Vancouver Island, Deb and I found all sorts of abandoned items hidden in […]
Sea otter buddies
Marty’s photo of the day #4542: Fairly soon I will be moving on from photos I shot last month on Vancouver Island and return to photos I shot all over the world. But not today. Sea otters are easy to anthropomorphize, but they really do seem to enjoy life, floating around on the ocean with […]
Stealin’ dog food
Marty’s photo of the day #4541: Deb and I have enjoyed two long camping trips into Canada with our dogs. The first was in 2002, when Deb and I took Kate and Annie on a 5,572-mile-long adventure to the very top of Canada, which became part of my first book, Cool Creatures, Hot Planet: Exploring […]
