This image epitomises a bygone era of elegance, style and charm – halcyon days of weekend house parties attended by “bright young things”, when afternoon tea and croquet on the lawn preceded a civilised evening of cocktails, dinner and charades. The car featured is Halle Selassie’s splendid 1933 Rolls Royce. I recaptured a sense of this era – gracefully modelled by Touchen – at Oldway Mansion, Paignton, Devon, once the home of Isaac Singer, founder of the renowed sewing machine company. Isadora Duncan, the lover of his son Paris, was often seen dancing here – a wild free spirit amidst the opulence.

Long has paled that sunny sky: / Echoes fade and memories die: / Autumn frosts have slain July. Still she haunts me, phantomwise, / Alice moving under skies / Never seen by waking eyes. In a Wonderland they lie, / Dreaming as the days go by, / Dreaming as the summers die: Ever drifting down the stream - / Lingering in the golden gleam - / Life, what is it but a dream? - Through the Looking Glass, Lewis Carroll, 1876

All rights reserved Beautiful Art and Greeting Cards For Sale ~ Shop securely and view my collection here Featured Art 30 May 2009 Colour Me Vibrant Red Featured Group Avatar 30 May 2009 Colour Me Vibrant Red Featured Art The Woman Photographer This beautiful boy is one of Bud Clifton’s show birds. You may find him at the beautiful botanical gardens along the Hana Highway in Puohokamoa Valley called The Garden of Eden Maui Hawai’i . Bud calls him Rufus, (Rufus McDuffus). It is such a silly name for such a beautiful bird. I visit the birds about once a month. They are all so sweet. They are also free and so well cared for and trained they do not fly off into the rainforest. Bud loves his beautiful birds. According to him, Rufus was once a circus performer flying through burning hoops and walking on tight ropes. Bud rescued him and now he has a lovely life of leisure delighting the children and families as they exit the beautiful botanical gardens. Bud will take your photo with his birds using your camera for a small fee. It is a sensational show and I know you will love it. The next time you pop in to say Aloha to Bud tell him Jacob and Sharon Mau said Howzit! Easily distinguished from amazons and cockatoos by their bare facial patch and long pointed tail, the Macaw family comprises one of the most extravagantly coloured in the bird world. There are several variations of the Scarlet, most notably an uncommon variety with emerald green on the wing along with the yellow, and the more common wide patch of yellow. Their declining populations in the wild continues to cause great concern for tropical environmentalists. They are flamboyant, colourful, and captivating birds. Their personalities are legendary. Because of their great beauty and engaging personalities, they have been kept in captivity for centuries. In fact, in the United States, they were kept by the Pueblo Indians since 1100 A.D. where they prized the Scarlet Macaw.

Rainbow is a Blue and Yellow Macaw / Ara ararauna Copyright © Sharon Mau 2009 / My images do not belong to the public domain. Reproduction is strictly prohibited. All rights reserved Beautiful Art and Greeting Cards For Sale ~ Shop securely and view my collection here Birds are the only animals with feathers. All birds have feathers and most birds can fly. It is the possession of feathers and not the ability to fly which distinguishes birds from all other animals. This Macaw with a stunning colour combination is relatively easy to breed in captivity, and the captive population is many times larger than the wild population. Individuals are kept in several zoos and private homes around the world. The fantastically colourful Blue and Yellow Macaw is a popular pet mostly because of its striking appearance and ability as a talking bird. They are very intelligent and social birds. They breed in the forest and woodlands of tropical South America. Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi
