Love Rests on No Foundation

“Love Rests on No Foundation ~ It is an endless ocean, with no beginning or end. Imagine, a suspended ocean, riding on a cushion of ancient secrets. All souls have drowned in it, and now dwell there. One drop of that ocean is hope, and the rest is fear.” ~ Quatrains of Rumi

Plumeria Blossom on Lava Rocks
Hamoa Beach Maui Hawai`i

Featured in Natural Colour and Light group 25 December 2008

Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi

This lovely Plumeria blossom floated from the tree which arches overhead as I was walking down the stone steps to the luxurious black sand beach of Hamoa, one of my favourite beaches on Maui. I was captivated with the beauty of it resting softly on the lichen blanketed lava rock and the contrasts of soft sensual beauty with the rough textures of the hardened magma. Of course I instantly stopped and photographed it. It is one of my favourites and I am happy you enjoy it

Mahalo for your wonderfully sweet note on my image and Rumi quote “Love Rests on No Foundation” my darling identical twin sister. I do hope you and I will see each other here on the island this year. I miss you so much!

I was captivated with the beauty of it resting softly on the lichen blanketed lava rock and the contrasts of soft sensual beauty with the rough textures of the hardened a’a magma.

I have always known the flower by its common name frangipani – which I understand originated with its fragrance … and along with that of the gardenia I think it has the best of all perfumes. Constantly reminds me of my years spent living in the tropics. Very nice image.
Marjorie Wallace

Just lovely, Sharon. Congratulations on the feature. This is beautiful.

A very beautiful detailed close-up of this gorgeous Plumeria bloom Sharon and I was so impressed at how you described it falling on the lichen textures steps and how it contrasted them so well, you have an eye for seeing beauty in so many ways my friend and the resulting image more than does justice to how you described it, beautiful work,
Regards, Rod.
Sharon Mau replied

You are so sweet, thank you so much Rod! I am always delighted to hear from you. I hope you are well and happy. I am only online for a couple of minutes tonight to upload an image and will be over to see your new work tomorrow morning. This note to you will be the only one I write tonight. I wish you a peaceful evening my dear friend.
