back in the day, it seemed like everyone had a father, uncle or grandfather that had a car like this…you would be swallowed up by the back seat, taking trips to exotic locations that, while we always muttered “are we there yet,” would one day wish we could go back in time to savor every one of those lost moments…

seligman, arizona is a must stop on one of the best existing stretches of old route 66…far from the interstate, you can get the best look and feel for what travelers in the early days must have encountered…from the look of things, this truck has traveled more than just a few local back roads…
-
traveling historic route 66 is a great experience…here cars from the fifties are a frequent sight…they stick out like a neon sign in the dark night along a lonely stretch of road…you have to stop, get out and take a closer look…they are a part of the past that intrigues us, temps us and makes our thoughts wander to days long gone…
-
classic cars along old route 66 are a familiar sight…there is nothing like hitting the open road on a quest to go back in time, and there is no better way than driving the cars of a past generation to truly get there…of course they didn’t have all the modern conveniences of the cars of today, but then, that would take some of the fun out of it, wouldn’t it…

The River Queen is an old paddle wheel boat that has been turned into a floating casino/restaurant. It was a stormy summer afternoon and the sky was quickly becoming darker. But i love walking the Edmonton river valley and the rain wasn’t going to stop that.

The magnificent male Indian Blue Peacock has a long train of beautiful feathers, with eye spots, brown, yellow and green with black center, brilliant blue feathers on the body, green iridescent plumage and beautiful yellows, and grey feet. The male (peacock) Indian Peafowl has beautiful iridescent blue-green or green coloured plumage. The so-called “tail” of the peacock, also termed the “train”, is not the tail quill feathers but highly elongated upper tail coverts. The train feathers have a series of eyes that are best seen when the tail is fanned.

Titles and quote commentaries are Lodge names and translations of Order of the Arrow Insignia ~ Chi-Hoota-Wei ~ Many Fires, One Great Light ~ Links to websites with more information on First Nations ~ American Native Tribes “The Ojibwe language-otherwise anglicized as Chippewa, Ojibwa or Ojibway and known to its own speakers as Anishinabe or Anishinaabemowin-is an Algonquian tongue spoken by 50,000 people in the northern United States and southern Canada. There are five main dialects of Ojibwe: Western Ojibwe, Eastern Ojibwe, Northern Ojibwe (Severn Ojibwe or Oji-Cree), Southern Ojibwe (Minnesota Ojibwe or Chippewa), and Ottawa (Odawa or Odaawa). The Ottawa have always been politically independent from the Ojibwe, but their language is essentially the same—speakers of all five dialects, including Ottawa, can understand each other readily. Many linguists also consider the Algonquin language to be an Ojibwe dialect, but it has diverged more and is difficult for Western Ojibwe speakers to understand. As its name suggests, Oji-Cree has borrowed many elements from Cree and is often written in the Cree syllabary rather than the English alphabet.” ~ Source ~ http://www.native-languages.org/chippewa.htm Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi

A fresh Hibiscus blossom unfolds at dawn in Ha’iku / Maui Hawai’i Copyright © Sharon Mau 2009 / All Rights Reserved This image was taken in early morning natural light with a Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi with no post processing Featured May 2009 The Woman Photographer This image is also offered as a Postage Stamp / and as a Magnet SOLD / 2x Laminated Print: Aloalo ~ Tropical Hibiscus / Medium / Black Border with Artist’s Details / It is believed that there are only five species of Hibiscus that originated from Hawai’i. Other species found their origin in Asia and the Pacific islands. In the early twenties, the Hibiscus Brackenbridgei was adopted as the official Territorial flower of Hawai’i. It kept this status throughout the 20th century, but only in 1988 its yellow colour was defined as the official colour for the Hibiscus representing the State of Hawai’i. Before 1988, the official Hibiscus could have any colour. Additionally, it was not until 1988 that the flower could represent the State of Hawai’i, because before that time the territorial status of the group of islands was unclear. Hawai’i’s state flower (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis) originated in Asia and the Pacific islands. Interestingly, it is also the national flower of Malaysia. Research suggests there were originally only five species of the tropical Hibiscus that were native to Hawai’i. Growers began to hybridize these native species with other varieties imported to Hawai’i, which produced the huge kaleidoscope of colours and sizes available today. There are several ways to tell the difference between the tropical and hardy perennial varieties. Tropical hibiscuses have dark green glossy leaves, sporting 3-4 inch flowers that are either single or double in colors of yellow, orange, pink, or red. Also, tropical hibiscus can have blossoms of salmon, orange, yellow, or peach with double flowers. Hardy perennial Hibiscus have foliage of medium-green with leaves that are heart shaped. Their flowers of white, red, or pink are much larger than those of the tropical Hibiscus. Many hibiscus aficionados increase the number of plants they have by using cuttings, a practice known as cloning or asexual reproduction. Select the best tips; look for good leaf color and a robust upright growing stance. Water the plants in the morning before taking the cuttings. Use sterilized shears. Count down about 4 leaf nodes to where the stem starts turning from light green to brown. Make each cut at a 45 degree angle just below a leaf node. Remove the lower leaves from the cutting, as well as any large top leaves. Dip the point of the cutting into a rooting stimulant, and then insert them into the growing medium only as deep as necessary to keep them upright. The cuttings should be fully rooted by the end of 6 weeks, and can then be transplanted. If the cuttings have been rooted in a green house, they should be hardened off before transplanting, by switching them to regular irrigation, and moving them out into the sunlight during the day, and back indoors for the night, for a few days.

This was taken last year at the Summer Palace in Beijng. /

Note the incredible smog. That means no emissions control. The Summer Palace is located on the western edge of Beijing, between the fourth and fifth ring roads, close to the western hills, 12km from central Beijing. It is not expensive to get there by taxi and does not take long. Use a map to tell the driver you want to be taken to the north gate if you want to follow our suggested route through the park, or ask your hotel receptionist to add ‘north gate’ to ‘Summer Palace’ written in chinese script on a piece of paper to show the taxi driver. As its name implies, the Summer Palace was used as a summer residence by China’s imperial rulers – as a retreat from the main imperial palace now known as the Palace Museum (or ‘Forbidden City’) – a pleasureground in the countryside, yet near to the city. The Summer Palace is virtually a museum of traditional Chinese gardening that uses rocks, plants, pavilions, ponds, cobble paths and other garden styles to create a poetic effect between different scenes. When you stroll around the Summer Palace, you will constantly find the area changing.

The Land Where Souls Play / Pa’ia Beach Maui Hawai’i * Copyright © Sharon Mau 2009* / All Rights Reserved “An awakening to dawn mist on the water, / flowing Spirit’s streams to God’s alter, / purifying essence whistles through the trees, / images of the sacred blowing in the breeze. / Flights of fancy from birds up high, / feathers of many colours filtering through the sky, sun, moon and stars envelops Earth’s dome, / we’re all birds of a feather, finding our way home. Spectacle of mesmerizing movements flashing in the mind, / melting pots of humans, secrets hard to find, love all embracing whispers on the wind, no physical presence, ecstasy from a light dimmed. Gifts of joy enmeshed in music and dance, visualizing images filtering in a trance, warriors in a drumbeat at journeys end, back to the womb of creation enmeshed in a substance blend. Wondrous dreams in the stillness of the dark, journey on uplifting voyages in paradise park, thunder and lightening points the way, a prelude to the land where Soul’s play.” Poetry by Michael Levy Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi
