Marty’s photo(s) of the day #3408: I took these two self-portraits in the green room last night, moments before going on stage at Eastern Arizona College. As mentioned in my previous “Don’t Get COVID-19 and Die Tour” posts, this was the only in-person show I planned on performing during the pandemic (I’m performing lots of […]

The Don’t Get Covid-19 and Die Tour continues
Marty’s photo of the day #3407: Today is day #3 of my 2,600-mile roundtrip “Don’t Get COVID-19 and Die Tour.” Yesterday was a relatively uneventful travel day from southern Utah to Sun City West, Arizona. Since I only had 8 hours of driving, I kept an eye out for some desert to explore, but didn’t […]
Don’t Get COVID-19 and Die Tour
Marty’s photo of the day #3406: Today is day #2 of my 2,600-mile roundtrip “Don’t Get COVID-19 and Die Tour.” I’m driving from Montana to Arizona. While there I will pick up some items of my late mother’s that have been stuck in storage (in Sun City West), and then proceed to the southeastern part […]
Arctic Ocean
Fox On The Run
Marty’s photo of the day #3404: Fox On The Run, in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. (And now people of a certain age can be stuck on a certain song by Sweet all day long!)

The punk rocker of the rainforest
Marty’s photo of the day #3400: The punk rocker of the rainforest—the Boyd’s forest dragon! (Photographed in Queensland, Australia)
Inside . . . somewhere
Marty’s photo of the day #3399: This is either a photo from inside a cave near Chillagoe, Queensland, Australia, or it is a scan of Donald Trump’s brain. I’m not sure which.
Cloudless sulfur butterfly
Marty’s photo of the day #3398: This is a cloudless sulfur butterfly, photographed in the Everglades.
Artsy toucan
Marty’s photo of the day #3397: Photographing a toucan in Costa Rica’s rainforest is difficult, because tree branches always seem to be in the way, and if they’re not, then the lighting is inconsistent. Sometimes you just have to go artsy.
Donald Trump’s new hairstylist
When Martyman—ever the entrepreneur—learned that Donald Trump had deducted $70,000.00 from his tax returns for hairstyling, he shouted, “I can do that!” And since action figures are immune to COVID-19, he applied for the job and got it. Ladies and gentlemen . . . I present to you Donald Trump’s new hairstylist—Martyman!
Look down. No! Look up.
Marty’s photo of the day #3396: When hiking in the rainforest, it’s always important to look down, so you don’t accidently step on a venomous snake. Then again, it’s important to look up too. In this photo, I’m in the rainforest of Borneo, standing underneath a Wagler’s pit viper.
Mother and calf moose
Marty’s photo of the day #3395: Mother and calf moose, hanging out on Deb’s and my property a few years ago.
A curious leopard seal
Hey Mike Pence!
Marty’s photo of the day #3393: Hey Mike Pence! If you’re going to sit around with a bug on your head, at least do it with style. Otherwise people will just think you’re a turd. (Photographed in the Amazon Rainforest of Peru)
Looking down instead of up
Marty’s photo of the day #3392: In the past, I’ve posted photographs I’ve taken while hiking partway up the Matterhorn in Switzerland. Here’s the view looking down instead of looking up. This is the tiny town of Zermatt, at the base of the Matterhorn.
The elephant surprise
Marty’s photo of the day #3391: I was exploring on my own in Zimbabwe, when I heard a series of cracks. I looked to my right, and there was this beautiful elephant. I had a zoom lens on my camera, so I wasn’t as close as this photo looks, but still, I was much closer […]
When Trumpers refuse to wear a mask
Trumpers frequently refuse to wear masks, claiming their right to personal freedom. Yet when it comes to things like a woman’s right to choose or a man’s right to pay for sex or a person’s right to do drugs, then they want to take freedom away. In light of that, I’m seriously considering the following: […]
