In this penultimate Journal about my Tanzanian Safari, I am returning to the avian world with some more images of birds - the big, the small, and the fancy. You cannot go very far in the wild in Southern and Eastern Africa without coming across the largest of living birds - the ostrich (Struthio camelus). These guys are big at about 100 kg and standing 2 - 3 metres tall. Perhaps not surprisingly, ostriches are flightless birds, but they can run at an extraordinary speed of up to 40 mph (70 kph). The males in particular can be very aggressive if challenged or threatened, and can kill with powerful kicks, the claws on their feet being long an

I want to make a journal and have everyone do an art piece dedicated to Nick with a few sentences of what you remember about him most, some encouraging words he may have said to you or just a simple farewell. I would appreciate it if EVERYONE reading this shares this journal especially in your groups and get the word out.  Those who have a lot of followers your help in spreading this would be appreciated. I need to receive the entries by next Thursday as I'm sure it will t

Hello Dear Friends! Happy March to you all.  Can't believe we are already 3 months into 2015!  Hope all is well with you and things are looking up as spring approaches.  Well, with this journal, I would like to introduce you to a new group that I have recently had the honor of becoming Co-Founder of: ActsofRandomKindness (https://www.deviantart.com/actsofrandomkindness).  Way back in October of 2012, I wrote a journal about Random Acts of Kindness and wanted to re-post it, because it is still poignant today and a subject near and dear to my heart.

Hello friends! So now that the inferno outside is starting to lose it's steam (yeah, it's only supposed to be 100 degrees today.... oh boy, but at least we are headed in the right direction and I won't be melting anymore for a while), I am finding that I have many things to catch up on around the house and with my family and friends which in turn is limiting the amount of time I spend here on art (https://www.deviantart.com/art) That's not to say I'm leaving or anything, oh heavens no!! I just need to step back a little bit here and there, and step forward when time permits. I still have lots and lots of photos from Colorado to share, and I have so much of your artwo
