Nicole and Michael / These darling children are our Ohana Kwock Hing / Ching Ming / Qingming / Honouring our Ancestors ~ bi san / Kula Maui Hawai’i Copyright © Sharon Mau 2009 / All Rights Reserved Universewide Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi / Shooting Date/Time 11 April 2009 10:47:00 / Tv 1/500 Av 8.0 Lens EF28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM “Graveside picnics: The Ching Ming Festival – “The Clear and Bright Festival” – is related to the solar calendar. This seasonal festival marks the beginning of spring and is held on the 106th day after winter solstice and celebrated here in April. On this day observants customarily visit ancestral graves where traditional rites and offerings are made to honour one’s ancestors. This unusual ancestral observance is related to the traditional Chinese need to receive blessing from the previous generations at the onset of a new undertaking. The event, however, has the atmosphere of a picnic because the offered food is eaten at the various gravesites. It is not a solemn occasion, but rather, a time for happy communion with one’s forefathers.” Information Source />Ching Ming is an important traditional Chinese festival celebrated by the Han Clan (汉族) for over 2,500 years. Today, this festival is also celebrated by other Chinese clans as well. Ching (清) in Chinese translated to “Clear” or “Pure”, and Ming (明) translated to “Bright”. Therefore, Ching Ming Festival is also known as Clear Brightness Festival or Pure Brightness Festival. The ancient Chinese is an agricultural society. Ching Ming Festival indicates the time to start farming for the year. When Ching Ming arrives, the cold weather from previous winter begins to turn warm, there will be more rains, plants and animals show their active sign of life again. Therefore, Ching Ming is the day of transition from Ying (阴) back to Yang (阳), which brings more “clear” and “brightness” to earth.” Ching Ming Festival “Ching Ming or Qingming, meaning clear and bright, is the day for mourning the dead, a day for Chinese families to visit our ancestors graves. It falls in early April every year and corresponds with the onset of warmer weather, the start of spring, and of family outings. This is a one-day holiday in Hong Kong for the descendants to “sweep the graves” of their ancestors. It is not a solemn occasion, but rather, a time for happy communion with the family members to show respect to their ancestors. To “sweep the graves” means to clear the graves of all the leaves and weeds and repaint the inscriptions on it. The Chinese believe that too many leaves surrounding the graves disturb the spirit of the ancestors. Then food such as fruit, rice, wine, chicken, pork, cakes etc., the favorite food of the ancestors, will be put around the grave for the spirit of the ancestors. The Chinese believe that the dead ancestors are not eating well in their afterlife. Giving them their favorite food not only shows respect for them but also brings the descendants good life and health. The Chinese believe that the spirit has power to fulfil wishes. The food is not wasted as after prayers they will be brought back and shared among the descendants. The Chinese believe that eating them brings good health. Also, paper money is burned, candles are lit and the whole family kneels to pay respect. The Chinese also believes that paper money can be consumed in heaven or hell. In ancient China, Qingming was by no means the only time when sacrifices were made to ancestors. In fact, such ceremonies were held very frequently, about every two weeks, in addition to other important holidays and festivals. The ceremonies were so elaborate and expensive that later in 732A.D., Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty declared that respects would be formally paid at the tombs of ancestors only on the day of Qingming in order to reduce the expenses. This is a custom that continues to this date. Qingming is not just a day of remembrance, it is also a day to celebrate the coming of spring, often by going out for a picnic. With the coming of spring, nature wakes up, dressing the world with green grass. Everything is new, clean and fresh. Qingming Information Source Ching Ming Festival

This beautiful bougainvillea makes a lovely card or wall art. It comes up very nicely as a canvas print. It was taken with a Nikon D90 and it would be suitable as a faded background for a web page. I can do this for you if needed. Bougainvillea originated in South America and grow profusely in our warm Queensland climate.

Alaska North Star Winter Scenics / From my collection: / Same Music ~ Different Station ~ Variation on a Theme Happy is he who can know the world’s origins ~ At the Outer Edge “Neither today nor ten times ten yesterdays, / in my backyard or in the tents of squalor that seem continents away; / neither at searing noon nor soaring midnight, beaten by the wind or bewildered at sea; Not ever, anywhere, has God’s omnipotence been hesitant about supplying good, / or constituting law, / or being All. Mind’s movement moves the universe; / Soul’s absolute precision marks no lapses, moratoriums, or negligence, / not now or then or sometime when ... Nothing has ever interfered with His eternal seeing, or with Love’s reality, / including man. / Including me. There is no dreamer of exceptions to His infinite control.” ~ Poetry by Darren (Stone) Nelson A Suspended Silence ~ Where the Wild Things Are Copyright © Sharon Mau 2009 / My images do not belong to the public domain.

It is a beautiful golden sunset over a peatbog in a Boreal forest near Goldstream Alaska. / . / This is from my collection: / The Golden Threshold / Calendar coming soon….. Sunsets and scenics of Interior Alaska ~ Trumpeter Swans/Tundra Swans ~ Pond and Lake Reflections ~ Boreal and Permafrost Forests~ Poetry and Quotes Copyright © Sharon Mau 2009 / All Rights Reserved This image was dedicated to my beloved identical twin sister Karon ( stzar ) 11 September 2007 “What is Love ~ Love is the scent with the lotus born. It is the silent choirs of petals Singing the winter’s harmony of uniform beauty. Love is the song of the soul, singing to God. It is the balanced rhythmic dance of planets - sun and moon lit In the sky hall festooned with fleecy clouds Around the sovereign Silent Will. It is the thirst of the rose to drink the sunrays And blush red with life. ‘Tis the promptings of the mother earth To feed her milk to the tender, thirsty roots, And to nurse all life. It is the urge of the sun To keep all things alive. Love is the unseen craving of the Mother Divine That took the protecting father’form, And that feeds helpless mouths With milk of mother’s tenderness. It is the babies sweetness, Coaxing the rain of parental sympathy To shower upon them. It is the lover’s unenslaved surrender to the beloved To serve and solace. It is the elixir of friendship, Reviving broken and bruised souls. It is the martyr’s zeal to shed his blood For the well-beloved fatherland. It is the ineffable, silent call of the heart to another / heart. It is the God-drunk poet’s heartaches For every creature’s groans. Love is to enjoy the family rose of petal-beings, And thence to move to spacious fields - Passing by portals of social, national, international / sympathy, On to the limitless Cosmic Home To gaze with looks of wonderment, And to serve all that lives, still or moving. This is to know what love is. He knows who lives it. Love is evolution’s ameliorative call To the far-strayed sons To return to Perfection’s home. It is the call of the beauty – robed ones To worship the great Beauty. It is the call of God Through silent intelligences And starburst of feelings. Love is the Heaven Toward which the flowers, rivers, nations, atoms, / creatures’ you and I Are rushing by the straight path of action right, Or winding laboriously on error’s path, All to reach haven there at last.” ~ From: Songs of the Soul by Paramahansa Yogananda Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi / Shooting Date/Time 10 September 2007 19:56:43 / Tv Shutter Speed 1/500 Aperture Value 20.0 / Evaluative Metering ISO 200 / Lens EF28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM

If you saw the original photograph I think you would be surprised. It is simply an image of the leaves of red Ti. When one creates Kaleidoscopes with images of flowers and plants, the results are sensual and fascinating. This is purely organic and it just knocks me out because it looks like jewels. / I created this 07 March 2007 and it is from my collection: / Illusión óptica ~ The Stellar Principle Kaleidoscope, Colours, Patterns, Angles, Symmetrical Forms, Reflections, Mirrors, Shifting patterns and designs…Illusions. ~ 1817, lit. “observer of beautiful forms,” coined by its inventor, Sir David Brewster (1781-1868) Copyright © Sharon Mau 2009 / All Rights Reserved Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi
