In this painting I have endeavored to reduce the landscape down to its absolute minimum, focusing purely on the line of salt-bush on the horizon, with one solitary bird hovering in the air, to give the impression of the raw empty heat of a mid day summer where nothing stirs until l the cool of the evening. . .

There are many different hikes you can take when you visit Grindelwald, Switzerland. This place was one of my favorites of my family travels growing up. / Since I have no memory as youngster of this place, it was wonderful to see it “for the very first time”. This shot was one of many incredible views we saw during our two weeks in Grindelwald staying at the Distelfink. / This was taken with a Canon Powershot SD200, 3mp /

Seagreen Blue Jade Vine / It is also called: / Green Jade Vine / It is a lovely aquamarine colour. / Strongylodon macrobotrys Copyright © Sharon Mau 2009 / All Rights Reserved The flowers of the exotic Jade Vine have a beautiful seagreen/turquoise colour that is so amazing it is almost beyond description. This colour is extremely rare in the plant world. However, they also appear in a brilliant orange-red variety. They are considered a vanishing treasure in the Philippine rainforest but are widely cultivated in many other tropical areas of the world. The bloom is a pendant, with clustered birds beak-like inflorescence up to 4 1/2 ft. long and puts on a spectacular show when in bloom. Often used in Lei making, they may also be grown indoors. The hue is probably the rarest in the world of flowers. A vigorous grower once established, it can reach 30-40 ft tall, but is perfect for an arbor or a pergola where the blooming clusters can cascade and hang down. Specimen vine. Blooming season: winter-spring. / Grows best in Zones 10-11. / Young leaves had very dark, almost black color, then the leaf turns pale green with dark veins which looks like chlorosis, but it is not. As the leaf matures, it turns deep green. This beautiful and exotic vine is a tropical rainforest species originally from the Philippines, and has aquamarine coloured flowers, sharing that feature with only two other plants in the world. It is an evergreen vine with thick, woody stems that can reach lengths of 25 metres in good conditions. Jade vine is a tropical liana that does not tolerate frost. / This beauty grows near the Tedeschi Vineyards upcountry on Maui. Maintain winter temperatures at 60ºF (15.6ºC) or above. / It grows best and is happiest when it’s roots are in the shade and it’s foliage top is in the sun. Some say it takes three to nine years of growing from seedling to full grown vine before they bloom. Flowering normally takes place from Spring to early Summer but this is not always the case. Especially here on Maui where we experience warm tropical climate year round. Flowering can be irregular. Flowers are blue/green and pea shaped, each flower being 7 – 13 cm long and on large hanging clusters up to 1.5 metres in length. It is often grown on a pergola which allows dozens of pendulous blooms to appear as if they are cascading from the top. They are so exotic and so surreal it is difficult to believe they are real. Pollination is thought to be by birds and bats but seed growth is not good. In botanical propagation, cuttings are successful but very challenging. Reproduction and Conservation of Jade Vine (Strongylodon macrobotrys A. Gray), a Threatened Species The Jade Vine is native to the Phillipines where it grows in the rainforest. The inedible fruit is about 5 cm long and contain about 5 oblong seeds [relatively large-sized seed] (2)Legume large, 3-10 seeded. The leaves and foliage are an irritant, and causes an itching sensationa, so it is recommended that you wear gloves when pruning the vines. The jade vine, Strongylodon macrobotrys, is a rare, decorative papilionoid legume that grows at low to medium altitudes in damp, cooler mountainous forests and rainforests on the Hawaiian Islands. Two clones of an identical plant, will not produce seed. It is better to air layer. The exquisite beauty of a Lei woven and created with these exotic blooms is truly amazing.

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
