This is the true spirit of “Aloha”. In Hawaii, you get to sample the local ancestry while seated at a luau. Good food, beautiful women, and hotter than “hell-fire” men! / However, none of these shots were taken in Hawaii. These are actually from Walt Disney World’s Polynesian Resort in Florida. / Two times a night, Monday through Saturday, they hold a luau for the resort guests. It is a very wonderful recreation of events that take place at an actual Hawaiin luau. / There are dancers trained in all forms of Polynesian dancing and story telling. All of the cast members are from Hawaii, which makes it more special and authentic. Even the flowers are native to the Hawaiin Islands! I want to thank Wolfllink for lending me his Hawaiin firedancer, Luau lady, Tropical flowers, and Volcano for this compilation of Polynesian events. The sky is my own from Red October.

A photo I took a while ago now of the Gleno waterfall – Co.Antrim … I stood that day looking into the constant flow of water and I could swear that I saw faces … perhaps ghosts from the distant past … people that did what I was doing only from a time now forgotten. It made me think of my own past and ancestry … so i’ve placed a stock photo of ‘Stonewall’ in there … one of our family members from long ago … the good folk in the Carolinas may or may not appreciate this one …. no offence intended !!!

Detail of a painted bust carving depicting a Native American warrior. I found this sculpture while staying at a friend’s grandmother’s house in Lower Island Cove, Newfoundland. In fact, I only noticed the morning after that he had been staring at me all night with those stark, penetrating eyes. For more information about the aboriginals who called Newfoundland home, Please visit the Aboriginal Peoples of Newfoundland website.

“In Loving Memory of our dear Father & Mother, / William Coughlan Native of Kilmacow, / Co. Kilkenny Ireland. / Sergt. N.F.L.D Constabulary / Died Nov. 28. 1894, Aged 60 Yrs.” A quick Genealogy search on http://kilkenny.brsgenealogy.com (registration required) shows of two William Coughlans born in 1831-1832 in Co. Kilkenny, Ireland. One of them could possibly be buried here at Mount Carmel if the man’s age was incorrect on the marker. Many Newfoundlanders can trace their ancestry back to one or more of the many settlers who immigrated from Ireland to start a new life on our island. Mount Carmel Cemetery, St. John’s, Newfoundland.

Tsalagi – Cherokee is my ancestry and Sequoyah is my hero, as he inspired the first indian alphabet written in 1822. He is also one of two representatives of the Cherokee tribe (with Will Rogers) in the National Statuary Hall in the Nation’s Capitol Building, Washington, D.C. Tsalagi – Cherokee Blessing / May the warm winds of Heaven blow softly on your home, / And the Great Spirit bless all who enter there. / May your mocassins make happy tracks in many snows, / And may the rainbow always touch your shoulder. The photograph is again a sunset to the west of our cabin with an additional photograph of a bronze bust of Sequoyah. Cherokee by Walela / /

Eighth in the series, this shot was taken at Chaco Canyon, at the Chetra Ketl Ruins. By 500 AD, the Basketmakers (Anasazi) used many plants, mostly yucca fiber for baskets, clothing and other tools. By 600 AD, their trading efforts expanded to create surplus storage rooms to accomodate their cultivated beans, pinion nuts, berries, wild and domesticated game, as well as possessions and the addition of bows and arrows, and making pottery for storage containers, shaped as jars, bowls, pitchers, ladles, canteens, figurines and miniatures.

This is the tombstone for my husband’s great grandparents on his dad’s side. It is just an awesome stone to me….dated so far back, and with the crucifix in the middle of their names. The best part….Born in Germany…. the memories they must have had, and carried with them through out their lives. His dad’s side is of Polish heritage. :) He lived 90 yrs and she lived 80 yrs. Wow! Here’s a bit of History that is really neat too! The church where this cemetery is behind is called St. Stanislaus Catholic Church. It’s so neat because the name Stanislaus goes way back in the Pasket family. We have found out that several Pasket men had that name or even the nickname Stash that came alone with it. My husband’s gpa (his dad’s dad) is named (was..he’s passed also) Stanislaus (everyone called him Stash).....Dennis’ dad and along with two of Dennis’ sisters were baptisted at this church…most of the Pasket family (his dad’s family) are buried here….and we named our youngest son after Dennis’ Gpa Stanislaus Pasket. I just love that name!! And…the church St. Stanislaus Catholic…is still going strong…their Priest is a wonderful man….so glad we were able to meet him even in the sad circumstances.

For those of you who are not aware of this, The National Archives of Ireland have published online the 1911 census for Ireland (32 counties).If you are interested in your Irish roots, or just want to browse, here’s the link Be warned! Browsing this census is nearly as addictive as RedBubble! A problem I had is that my grandmother’s maiden name, Doherty, is very common in the part of Donegal that she hailed from. So I’m going to have to find out more from relatives. It’s a bit like being a detective. / Agnes xxx

:) / All stock from sxc.hu / and my own resources Based on this song by Dougie MacLean / (Scottish James Taylor ;) / http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMpSg78s684 Music & Lyrics by Dougie MacLean. Published by Limetree Arts and Music I don’t know if you can see the changes that have come over me / In these last few days I’ve been afraid that I might drift away / So I’ve been telling old stories, singing songs that make me think about where I came from / And that’s the reason why I seem so far away today CHORUS / Ah but let me tell you that I love you and I think about you all the time / Caledonia you’re calling me and now I’m going home / But if I should become a stranger you know that it would make me more than sad / Caledonia’s been everything I’ve ever had I have moved and kept on moving proved the points that I needed proving / Lost the friends that I needed losing found others on the way / I have tried and I’ve kept on trying stolen dreams, yes there’s no denying* / I have travelled hard, sometimes with conscience flying somewhere in the wind / CHORUS Now I’m sitting here before the fire, the empty room, the forest choir / The flames that couldn’t get any higher they’ve withered, now they’ve gone / But I’m steady thinking, my way is clear and I know what I will do tomorrow / When the hands have shaken and the kisses flow Oh I will disappear / CHORUS

Mixed media inspired by cave wall drawings…....the original work is an “art squared” collage with india ink on recycled mat board. In this version, I have digitally altered by adding graphic flowers and 2 background layers to make the image larger for enhancement and bigger prints. Here’s how it looks matted and framed:

This is a digitally maniuplated photograph I took of a photo of my wife’s grandfather, father and some unknown person along with her grandfather’s watches which he used as a passenger train conductor. The watches are sitting on a pair of railroad striped overalls that belong to me.
