A Bedouin’s donkey, just outside of Palmyra. This is a image for the following story.
Somali Wild Ass foals having a cuddle. These are amongst the most rare animals in the world, with only a few hundred left in the wild. Marwell Zoo in Hampshire, England must be praised for managing to breed and save these lovely animals from extinction.
DETAIL: “The Studio & Spirits Dream” Oil on Canvas. / I spent the last decade uprooted and on the road. I landed in a barn for awhile on a millionaire’s horse ranch, eventually turning the tack room into a studio that was liveable, enabling me to move out of the ranch’s bunkhouse (12 X 12 foot room with sink) and take up barn residence. It was a wonderful place for 4 years with horse pasture – about 200 occupants – out the door. Goats, sheep, mule named Corizon and Rambo the Ram in stalls and paddock on the other side, the Santa Lucia range all misty , mooned, sunned, gusted, and Milky Wayed before me. And it was the first functional studio I’d had in years. I wrote. And I painted. / This dream, this studio I painted there, is crowded with things I loved and hadn’t seen in ages, stored on the other side of America. Over filled with people I’d loved who’d died. With animals alive and not, who still owned my heart. With a chair from my twenties that no longer existed and the dream of my own bed again where such dreams could populate my nights. The cats who survived the move from Brooklyn then to Virginia’s wilderness then across country are on my bed, and some who departed before we got there, here too. My wonderful chocolate Lab – Rodin – is on alert at the bed’s end. A woodstove I’d seen once that would restore life to this heatless barn (I eventually got a kerosene heater). Some of my many thousands of books I carry with me that prop up my life are here, and all the intimate angels swinging through the undone work, the ready easel, the heart’s workplace. The Hawks Perch

An extremely cute ass, resting his head on the wall and pleading for dandelions. Couldn’t resist him and he knew it! I’m sure he heard the car coming and rushed into position. County Kerry, Ireland. Canon EOS 400D 18-55mm lens.
/ / AN IRISHMAN’S DREAM Sure I’ve roamed this wide world over / But of all the lands I’ve seen / There’s no spot I’d rather dwell in / Than my little isle of Green Only last night I was dreamin’ / Of a sight that thrilled me through / But what I saw I’ll see no more / ‘twas too good to be true Sure the shamrocks were growing on Broadway / Every girl was an Irish colleen / The town of New York was the county of Cork / All the buildings were painted green Sure the Hudson looked just like the Shannon / Oh, how good and how real it did seem / I could hear me mother singin’, sweet Shannon bells ringin’ / ‘twas only an Irishman’s dream

Each day’s a new adventure, / We don’t have to travel far – / If our hearts reach out to joy, / We can find it where we are. / Maybe in a tiny blossom, / Or snow falling from the sky, / For the world is full of wonder / If we look with open eyes. Taken Northant’s uk Jan 09 Nikon D90

This was taken in the Ngorongoro Crater, Tanzania. There are 3 types of zebra; this one being the Plains zebra with thick black stripes. The term disco donkey came from my travels in Africa. Our tour driver (and good friend now) told me how one of his past passengers had nicknamed these stripey and quite funky animals. I thought it was a fantastic nickname and it’s stuck! March 2007
On a crisp and sparkling clear February day, I set off with a friend to explore northern Nevada’s vast volcanic desert. In this region of black lava rock and steaming hot springs, this harsh country appears primeval. It is easy to envision dinosaurs roaming here. We found this little band of wild donkeys basking on a sun-warmed rocky outcrop. They were wary of us, but seemed unwilling to move from their warm spot on the hillside, and we were able to get a few shots without disturbing them too much. / / Featured on Image-Writing / (2009.APR.05) “Early explorers brought both horses and burros to the New World. Some of these animals were released or escaped to the deserts of the southwestern United States and Mexico. With the discovery of more gold and silver in the 1800’s, miners brought more burros with them. These animals added to the small early populations and began to breed and increase in numbers. At one time more than 10,000 wild burros were found in California, Arizona, and Nevada. Today there are about 7,000 burros in this region. “Burros have only two natural predators. The mountain lion preys on all burros. The coyote usually preys on the young, very old, crippled or sick animals as nature’s way of maintaining a healthy population. “The Wild and Free-Roaming Horse and Burro Act passed in 1971, stated that the Bureau of Land Management should manage wild burros with other plants and animals in the environment.

This donkey was frolicking around even though she appeared to be very pregnant. A nice lady asked me if I wanted to come onto her ranch and take some pictures. I had a good time. Taken in Black Forest, Colorado. /

A large percentage of the world’s honeybees have been MIA lately. Nobody knows for sure what the causes are, and we are just beginning to grasp what the effects in long term may be, but I am absolutely certain of one thing – this can’t be good news for Winnie The Pooh! This was my first project for my Digital Illustration class with David Hylton. Pen & Ink drawing, scanned into Photoshop, then colored in using different textures from photographs. Turned out to be a pretty big hit among my peers :)
