Marty’s photo of the day #4716: When I write and post photos of Deb’s and my Zimbabwe expedition, they are usually from our backpacking trip across Mana Pools National Park. Sometimes I forget that we also spent a few days in Matusadona National Park. Highlights here were quietly sneaking up on a black rhino and […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4714: I photographed this spotted bush snake in Zimbabwe. It’s a relatively close mimic of the deadly boomslang.
Marty’s photo of the day #4709: This is a rather confusing photo, until you know what it is. While hiking in Zimbabwe, I came across a huge old tree with a hole in its side. I wanted to know if anything was living in the tree, so I stuck my camera inside (with the flash […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4664: I photographed this elephant while backpacking across Mana Pools National Park in Zimbabwe. Yeah, I used a telephoto lens.
Marty’s photo of the day #4659: As anyone who has read my first book, Cool Creatures, Hot Planet: Exploring the Seven Continents, or seen my college show, Around the World in 90 Minutes, knows, my wife, Deb, and I were attacked by a hippo on the Zambezi River in Zimbabwe. The hippo literally bit through […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4657: This is an eleven-foot-long African rock python that I caught, held for a few minutes, and then released in Zimbabwe.
Marty’s photo of the day #4589: I’ve posted photos of Victoria Falls (Zimbabwe) before, but here’s a different view. I shot this from the co-pilot’s seat of a bush plane.
Marty’s photos of the day #4572: A lion demonstrating “how not to be seen,” along the Zambezi River in Zimbabwe.
Marty’s photos of the day #4569: This is me, looking through the hole in Deb’s and my canoe after a hippo bit through it and lifted us six feet into the air. For the whole story, click here for a video from my college show Around the World in 90 Minutes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ChLv0RlsHs&t=4s (Photo taken in […]
Marty’s photos of the day #4558: Cape buffalo, considered by many to be the most dangerous animal in Africa (after humans, of course). (Photographed in Zimbabwe)
Marty’s photo of the day #4453: Shhhh! I’m following a three-banded courser through the bush in Zimbabwe. Great camouflage, eh?
Marty’s photo of the day #4449: Warthogs can be difficult to photograph in the wild. Deb and I would be hiking along and all of a sudden we’d hear something crashing through the bush. By the time we figured out that it was a warthog running away from us and not a lion or a […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4420: I don’t think I’ve posted this particular photo before. It’s a dazzle of zebras, photographed while hiking across Mana Pools National Park in Zimbabwe.
Marty’s photo of the day #4413: I’m reasonably sure this is a young, black-lined plated lizard, but if I am wrong, I’m sure I’ll hear about it. (Photographed in Zimbabwe)
