A Bedouin’s donkey, just outside of Palmyra. This is a image for the following story.
All are waiting for the other to make the first move. Fear stops them, and fear can make them start.
How can he move that fat Ass around. The easier life gets for that big Ass the more he suffers.

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
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.

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. If you love wild horses (and donkeys), and would like to support their continued existence in North America: Please support the ROAM Act (HR1018) / / 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.

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.
Two hairy donkeys from france, very friendly !
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

“The Ingenious Hidalgo Don Quixote of La Mancha”) is a novel written by Spanish author Miguel de Cervantes. ...” Alonso Quixano, a retired country gentleman in his fifties, lives in an unnamed section of La Mancha with his niece and a housekeeper. He has become obsessed with books of chivalry, and believes their every word to be true…. He decides to go out as a knight-errant in search of adventure. He dons an old suit of armor, renames himself “Don Quixote de la Mancha,” and names his skinny horse “Rocinante.” He designates a neighboring farm girl, Aldonza Lorenzo, as his lady love, renaming her Dulcinea del Toboso, while she knows nothing about this. Eventually, he “acquires” his iconic “helmet.”...Don Quixote approaches another neighbour, Sancho Panza, and asks him to be his squire, promising him governorship of an island. The dull-witted Sancho agrees, and the pair sneak off in the early dawn. It is here that their series of famous adventures begin, starting with Don Quixote’s attack on windmills that he believes to be ferocious giants”. ...La Musica a first experimental digital painting inspired by the Book by Miguel Cervantes…using a TaletAIPTEK’ painted the Windmill of La Mancha put thru’ redfield fractalius, an apophysis of the Characters& a moon I created in lunar cell..woot! wot FuN lol! ..featured in ‘First things’ ...

This fella also plays a staring role in my painting ‘Greener Pastures’. and is a cross between a fawn and a donkey, hence his name. Here he explores the CBD to see why all those humans keep getting on the cattle trucks to go there every day.
