How many pictures can you take?? This is just to show you that all my lion shots were truly a close encounter. This is the male cub who just loved getting stroked. The stick is in my left hand because if he rose up you had to show you were the ‘master’ by tapping the stick at the side of his head! yeah – right!! Anyway the man with the dart gun was close by. I love cats and this was one time I could honestly say it was the most terrific experience and one I’d always wanted to have. I spent about 3 hours with both cubs.
A Celebration of Motherhood and the Devine / I drew this work when my son was quite young (he is now 16-2008) / I was experimenting with different patterns and pen work, so it is quite sketchy. / It kind of evolved into something that looks Medieval somehow. / The Hare is one of my magical creatures that I feel familiar with- Hares, Bears and Cats. 1 sale to date- Art Card TOP TEN PLACING IN CHALLENGE CAFE “MOTHERS”
This is one of my very first photo manipulation pic that I did back when i had a friend known as “Mel”. Mel lived in Malaysia, she had a male iguana, She sent me pic of her iggy and I sent her one of mine. This is her iguana Abbs and my Mikie girl together. They are both rescued from pet shops who knew nothing about the iggys. Mel’s Abbs was sick and she nursed him back to health same as I did with Mikie. It was fun to create and she loved the results as much as I did! This will be a GREAT valentine’s day card! / / Copyright / These Images and Writings Do Not Belong To ANY Public Domain.

Do you see her? The beautiful Honu, the endangered Hawaiian Green Sea Turtle is just barely visible swimming in the ocean before me, rising in the wave, feeding near the shoreline of Makena at sunrise. The sacred island of Kanaloa, (also known as Kaho’olawe Island), is visible on the horizon. The ‘Alalakeiki Channel separates the island of Kanaloa from Maui. It was a beautiful morning on the gold coast. Makena Maui Hawai’i Copyright © Sharon Mau 2009 / All Rights Reserved Vision of the Protect Kaho‘olawe ‘Ohana: / “The kino of Kanaloa is restored. Forests and shrublands of native plants and other biota clothe its slopes and valleys. Pristine ocean waters and healthy reef ecosystems are the foundation that supports and surrounds the island. Na Po’e Hawai’i care for the land in a manner which recognizes the island and ocean of Kanaloa as a living spiritual entity. Kanaloa is a pu’uhonua and wahi pana where Native Hawaiian cultural practices flourish. The piko of Kanaloa is the crossroads of past and future generations from which the Native Hawaiian lifestyle is spread throughout the islands. / http://gohawaii.about.com/od/kahoolaweisland/Kahoolawe_Island_Links_and_Articles.htm Hawaiian green sea turtles are listed as threatened species Found throughout the Hawaiian Archipelago, a range of about 2450 km / The Honu is a gentle vegetarian, feeding almost exclusively on algae. The most valuable of all reptiles, they were once killed for their skins, calipee, delicious meat and shells, but are no longer hunted on the islands of Hawai’i. / In some areas of Hawaii (Honokowai) more than 90% of the green sea turtles are afflicted with fibropapilloma tumors. / They are the largest of the hard-shelled marine turtles and a common adult weight is 115 kg with an average length of over 90 cm. The Hatchlingsare about 4-5 cm in length.

This is a composite, a matrix panoramic image I created using four of my photographs taken on Makena Beach Maui Hawai’i. Copyright © 2009 Fine Art Photography by Sharon Mau Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi Gerald May writes in The Awakened Heart ~ “There is a secret set within each of our hearts. It often goes unnoticed, we rarely can put words to it, and yet it guides us throughout the days of our lives. This secret remains hidden for the most part in our deepest selves. It is the desire for life as it was meant to be. Isn’t there a life you have been searching for all your days? You may not always be aware of your search, and there are times when you seem to have abandoned looking altogether. But again and again it returns to us, this yearning that cries out for the life we prize. It is elusive, to be sure. It seems to come and go at will. Seasons may pass until it surfaces again. And though it seems to taunt us, and may at times cause us great pain, we know when it returns that it is priceless. For if we could recover this desire, unearth it from beneath all other distractions, and embrace it as our deepest treasure, we would discover the secret of our existence. You see, life comes to all of us as a mystery. We all share the same dilemma – we long for life and we’re not sure where to find it. We wonder if we ever do find it, can we make it last? The longing for life within us seems incongruent with the life we find around us. What is available seems at times close to what we want, but never quite a fit. Our days come to us as a riddle, and the answers aren’t handed out with our birth certificates. We must journey to find the life we prize. And the guide we have been given is the desire set deep within, the desire we often overlook or mistake for something else or even choose to ignore. The greatest human tragedy is to give up the search. Nothing is of greater importance than the life of our deep heart. To lose heart is to lose everything. And if we are to bring our hearts along in our life’s journey, we simply must not, we cannot, abandon this desire.”

With the threat of rain in the forecast, I crowded pots of geraniums under the eaves yesterday, as they are one flower that deteriorates quickly upon getting wet. Today they were such a picture of color all together, that my camera quickly went into action and I thought you might enjoy them, too.
