I was commissioned by the dead pilot’s brother-in-law to paint this picture for his sister as a surprise. I phone her to check before proceeding and she ok’d it and provided photos and background to her husband’s air accident. She suggested I included the poem printed around the edge.The poem ends “Put out my hand and touched the face of God”. The RAF Wessex winch man also died attempting the rescue. / It was mounted on a cloth Stars and Stripes and there was room for his pilot wings and medals to be mounted below. / In Memoriam / WILLIAM HAROLD OLSON / Lt. Colonel United States Air Force / Died as a result of an air accident / on November 18th 1980. / He was thirty-eight years old. “HIGH FLIGHT” Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of earth / And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings; / Sunward I’ve climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth / Of sun-split clouds – and done a hundred things / You have not dreamed of – wheeled and soared and swung / High in the sunlit silence. Hov’ring there, / I’ve chased the shouting wind along, and flung / My eager craft through footless halls of air. / Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue / I’ve topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace / Where never lark, or even eagle flew - / And, while with silent lifting mind I’ve trod / The high untrespassed sanctity of space, / Put out my hand and touched the face of God. PO John Gillespie Magee, Jr (RCAF)

This is an ingiri (warthog in swahili). They are funny little creatures who are very shy and difficult to photograph. I love the way his tail goes up when he runs – looks a sign of alarm! We saw him near Lake Nakuru, Kenya

Lino cut print / Artist’s Proof / 2007 Warthogs – you either love ‘em or you don’t. I love ‘em. I still remember the funniest sight of a warthog in Zimbabwe, gleefully running and jumping around, spinning itself in circles during a soft, summer rain shower.

WARTHOG – Phacochoerus aethiopicus / LOCATION CAPTURED: GROENLAND GAME LODGE, Limpopo Province, South Africa. SHOULDER HEIGHT: 72cm / MASS: 68-72kg / GESTATION: 160 – 170 days; average litter 3-4 piglets The warthog is a gregarious, diurnal animal that lives in abandoned aardvark holes. / It enters its hole backwards, a protective measure which enables it to make a quick escape. The male has two pairs of warts. The pair on the muzzle is absent in the female. The warthog is fond of wallowing and rubbing its mud-covered body on stumps, rocks and tree trunks. Its habit of rooting for grass rhizomes often leads to the creation of a wallow. Sight is poor although it has good scent and hearing. / When approached a warthog will often advance towards you, running off only when certain what you are. / It falls prey to lion, leopard, cheetah and wild dog. / DIWET: Grass, roots, bulbs and tubers. Will eat fruit, although it favors short grass. It feeds by resting on its front knees. Requires water daily.

A photograph of two warthogs (mother and child) I took in the Kruger National Park, South Africa. / Appearance: As a member of the pig family, it has a naked skin with sparse, long bristles. A characteristic feature of Warthogs is the protruding curved tusks, which in boars grow into formidable weapons. These tusks are used to dig up roots, which all Warthog relish. Boars stand 680mm high and weigh 80 Kg. Sows are smaller at a height of 600mm and an average mass of 57 Kg. Wartlike tubercles on the large, flat head is another distinctive feature of this animal. A tuft of hair at the end of the thin tail, is very visible when the tail is held erect during running. / Diet: They feed mainly on grass and roots, but also take bulbs, fruits, carrion, insects, scorpions, earthworms, centipedes and bones. / Breeding: Mating takes place during May and June and three to four piglets are born during October to December, after a gestation period of 175 days. Young are weaned at three months and sexual activity is commenced at 18 months, occasionally as early as 6 months. / Behaviour: Warthogs are day animals and spend most of their time looking for food. They are normally found in family groups. Warthogs have the peculiar habit of kneeling on the front knees while feeding and foraging in a localised area. They shelter in burrows at night, which they enter tail first. Socially, three main groups are encountered, namely solitary boars, bachelor groups and matriarchal groups. / Matriarchal groups consist of adult sows with their young and yearlings. Boars play no part in rearing piglets and seldom associate with sows outside the mating process. Promiscuous, both sexes will mate with more than one partner. Warthogs can frequently be found at waterholes where they dig in the marsh and wallow in the mud with obvious enthusiasm. / Habitat: Warthogs have a wide habitat tolerance, although its distribution range shows a strong correlation with open woodland savannahs. / Where they are found: Warthogs are widely distributed, and presently not threatened in South Africa. They still occur naturally on farms throughout the range, and is being re-introduced into the areas where they have become locally extinct. They are also found in Zimbabwe, Botswana, Mozambique, Kenya, Zambia and Tanzania. They occur in open savannah around water holes and marshy areas throughout the Kruger National Park. / Predators: The young may be taken by Eagles and Jackal with Lion, Hyaena, Cheetah, Leopard and Crocodile being the main enemies of the adults. / Latin name: Phacochoerus aethiopicus

This photo is entitled Love Is —-- / This is an exhibition of photos taken Aug. 29/09 at the Calgary Zoo. The photos below are NOT posted individually and are not uploaded in a size that is useful. I am SO frustrated at 30 20-60 minute wait for each large-size photo to upload, I have so many works I want to post and I just can’t spend that amount of unproductive wait time on RB. So here is my cunning and evil plan: (drum roll please) / I am posting one main image but have several images below that ARE ALSO AVAILABLE if someone wishes to PURCHASE one. They are NOT posted individually. If interested, just Bubblemail me (or email me HERE ) and I will upload the large version for you at that time. We’ll see if this works or not… Thank you everyone. Feel free to comment on this idea, or any of the photos that capture your eye.
