As I crawled from my tent with blurred eyes, I could see that the sun was going to rise perfectly behind Alau Island. This image was unplanned, yet a perfectly wonderful stroke of luck.

Size: 8×10 inches / Medium: Acrylic / Support: Ampersand Gessobord This is Hana (means “flowers” in Japanese). She passed on in January 2009. About 8 years ago, she started to show up in our backyard and spent all day sleeping in one of my flower pots. Every time we brought food to her, she hissed and tried to bite. One day, we brought her indoor and she immediately turned into a very friendly cat. She had never hissed at us after that. We concluded that what Hana really wanted was a home. Although she never liked other cats much, she loved human contact. We don’t know her age. Her vet thinks she was an old cat when she passed.

“Love Rests on No Foundation ~ It is an endless ocean, with no beginning or end. Imagine, a suspended ocean, riding on a cushion of ancient secrets. All souls have drowned in it, and now dwell there. One drop of that ocean is hope, and the rest is fear.” ~ Quatrains of Rumi Plumeria Blossom on Lava Rocks / Hamoa Beach Maui Hawai`i Copyright © Sharon Mau / All Rights Reserved Featured in Natural Colour and Light group 25 December 2008 Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi This lovely Plumeria blossom floated from the tree which arches overhead as I was walking down the stone steps to the luxurious black sand beach of Hamoa, one of my favourite beaches on Maui. I was captivated with the beauty of it resting softly on the lichen blanketed lava rock and the contrasts of soft sensual beauty with the rough textures of the hardened magma. Of course I instantly stopped and photographed it. It is one of my favourites and I am happy you enjoy it

Locals take this road if they are in a hurry to get to and from Hana, Maui. The “other” road is WAY, WAY. WAY more difficult to drive, believe me. The other road is the world-famous “Hana Highway” with 68 one-lane bridges and 279 hairpin turns….

‘Oheo Gulch, on Maui, is the place I go and camp in my tent, when the congestion of modern-day life gets me down. ‘Oheo is spiritual, full of life, and will energize one’s soul. I made this image in near darkness, after all the tourists had gone home. I layered 5 long exposures—from about 4 seconds to a minute, or more. The place is difficult to capture by camera, but I think I have come close on this one. A large canvas of ‘Oheo Twilight hangs in my own home.

This was my first vision as I crawled out of my tent at Waianapanapa, near Hana, Maui. Not too shabby, I thought to myself. Rarely on Maui is the wind calm enough to shoot an HDR turning the knobs slowly through 6 exposures. It worked. This is now a best-seller in my gallery!

The most amazing orange Hibiscus seen on the road to Hana. Trivea about Hibiscus; / Many species are grown for their showy flowers or used as landscape shrubs. Hibiscus is also a primary ingredient in many herbal teas. One species of Hibiscus, known as Kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus), is extensively used in paper making. Another, roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa) is used as a vegetable and to make herbal teas and jams (especially in the Caribbean). In Mexico, the drink is known as agua de Jamaica and is quite popular for its color, tanginess and mild flavor; once sugar is added, it tastes somewhat like cranberry juice. Dieters or persons with kidney problems often take it without adding sugar for its beneficial properties and as a natural diuretic. It is made by boiling the dehydrated flowers in water; once it is boiled, it is allowed to cool and drunk with ice.[1] In Egypt and Sudan, roselle petals are used to make a tea named after the plant karkade. Certain species of hibiscus are also beginning to be used more widely as a natural source of food colouring (E1634), and replacement of Red #3 / E1275. Hibiscus species are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including Chionodes hibiscella, Hypercompe hambletoni, the Nutmeg moth, and the Turnip Moth. The Hibiscus is used as an offering to Goddess Kali and Lord Ganesha in Hindu worship. The Gumamela or Hibiscus rosa sinensis linn flower has antifungal, emmenagogue, emollient and refrigerant effect.[240] The bark of the hibiscus contains strong fibers. They can be obtained by letting the stripped bark sit in the sea in order to let the organic material rot away. In Polynesia these fibers (fau, pūrau) are used for making grass skirts. They have also been known to be used to make wigs. Hibiscus, especially white hibiscus, is considered to have medicinal properties in the Indian traditional system of medicine, Ayurveda. Roots make various concoctions believed to cure various ailments. The natives of southern India use the Red hibiscus (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis) for hair care purposes. The red flower and leaves, extracts of which can be applied on hair to tackle hair-fall and dandruff on the scalp. It is used to make hair-protective oils. A simple application involves soaking the leaves and flowers in water and using a wet grinder to make a thick paste, and used as a natural shampoo. its petals are used to cure fever while its roots are used to cure cough. In the Philippines, the gumamela (local name for hibiscus) is used by children as part of a bubble-making pastime. The flowers and leaves are crushed until the sticky juices come out. Hollow papaya stalks are then dipped into this and used as straws for blowing bubbles. Dried hibiscus is edible, and is often a delicacy in Mexico. The hibiscus flower is traditionally worn by Hawaiian women. A single flower is tucked behind the ear. Which ear is used indicates the wearer’s availability for marriage.

Sacred Ground / On the beautiful and remote Hāna coast, along the far eastern shores of the Hawaiian island of Maui is one of the largest, untamed native Mahama Lauhala (Pandanus) forests on the islands. This is the pa’ala, the shoreline, called Honomaele. This is a deeply sacred and very beautiful place.

If you have never found your own magical place on this Earth, you might want to explore Hana, Maui. Kaihalulu Beach, known to our tourists as “Red Sands”, is one of the hard-to-find-but-worth-the effort-places on this Earth. The sand is the color of oxidized iron, which poured out of the volcanic cone before erosion opened this place up to the ocean. It is also a mostly nude beach, where you will rarely find more than half a dozen bare or clothed butts at any given time

Sony DSP 150 / 1/640 / 0EV F5.6 / F 2.83 / ISO 100 / /.9mm Jasmine (Jasminum) Jasmine which is from the Persian yasmin, i.e. “gift from God”, via Arabic is a genus of shrubs and vines in the olive family (Oleaceae),with about 200 species, native to tropical and warm temperate regions of the Old World. The majority of species grow as climbers on other plants or on structures such as chicken wire, gates or fences. The leaves can be either evergreen (green all year round) or deciduous (falling leaves in autumn). / Jasmine is widely cultivated for its flowers, enjoyed in the garden, as house plants, and as cut flowers. The flowers are worn by women in their hair in southern and southeast Asia. Many species also yield an absolute, which is used in the production of perfumes and incense. Jasmine tisane is consumed in China, where it is called Jasmine flower tea (茉莉花茶; pinyin: mò lì huā chá). Jasminum sambac flowers are also used to make tea, which often has a base of green tea, but sometimes an Oolong base is used. The delicate Jasmine flower opens only at night and is plucked in the morning when the tiny petals are tightly closed. They are then stored in a cool place until night. Between six and eight in the evening, as the temperature cools, the petals begin to open. Flowers and tea are “mated” in machines that control temperature and humidity. It takes four hours or so for the tea to absorb the fragrance and flavour of the Jasmine blossoms, and for the highest grades, this process may be repeated as many as seven times. Because the tea has absorbed moisture from the flowers, it must be refired to prevent spoilage. The spent flowers may or may not be removed from the final product, as the flowers are completely dry and contain no aroma. Giant fans are used to blow away and remove the petals from the denser tea leaves. If present, they simply add visual appeal and are no indication of the quality of the tea. The French are known for their jasmine syrup, most commonly made from an extract of jasmine flowers. In the United States, this French jasmine syrup is used to make jasmine scones. Jasmine essential oil is now commonly in use. Its flowers are either extracted by the labour-intensive method of enfleurage or through chemical extraction. The reason it is so expensive is because of the enormous amount of flowers needed to produce a small amount of oil. The flowers have to be gathered at night because the odour of jasmine is more powerful after dark. The flowers are laid out on cotton cloths soaked in olive oil for several days and then extracted leaving the true Jasmine essence. Some of the countries producing Jasmine essential oil are India, Egypt, China and Morocco. Its chemical constituents include methyl anthranilate, indol, benzyl alcohol and linalol. Jasmine is the National Flower of the following countries: The Philippines, where it is known as “Sampaguita”, and is usually strung on garlands which are then used to adorn religious images. / Indonesia, where the variety Jasminum sambac is the “puspa bangsa” (National Flower), and goes by the name “Melati”, In the country, especially the island of Java, it is the most important flower in wedding ceremonies for ethnic Indonesians. / Pakistan, where Jasminum officinale is known as the “Chambeli” or “Yasmine” is the national flower. / In Syria, it is the symbolic flower of Damascus, which is called the City of Jasmines. In Sanskrit it is called “Mallika”. It is called “Chameli” in Hindi. Jasmine is cultivated at Pangala, in Karnataka, India, and exported to Middle Eastern countries ‘ J. fluminense is an invasive species in Hawaii, where it is sometimes known by the inaccurate name “Brazilian Jasmine”. J. dichotomum is also invasive in Florida. In Thailand, jasmine flowers are used as a symbol of the mother. In Okinawa Japan Jasmine Tea is known as Sanpin Chai. In Ivano-Frankivs’k, Ukraine Jasmine Tea is known as Чай Жасминовий FLOWER PHOTOGRAPHY / JASMINE / See more of taiche at ZAZZLE / Baby Custom T-Shirts :dress that baby up with a special design on a custom t-shirt, long sleeve or onesize / Kids Custom T-Shirts .from organic t-shirts to long sleeve shirts, boys, girls, and toddlers can fill their fashion needs with a one-of-a-kind custom t-shirts for kids.

Hale ‘o Pi’ilani Heiau / Hana Maui Hawai’i / 03 May 2009 / Fine Art Photography by Sharon Anne Mau / / This is an unedited image straight from the camera “The grounds of the amazing Kahanu Gardens are also the site of Pi’ilanihale Heiau, the largest temple in Hawai’i, with a volcanic stone platform reaching 450ft in length. The history of this astounding heiau is shrouded in mystery, but there’s no doubt that it was an important religious site for Hawaiians. Archaeologists believe construction began as early as AD 1200 and the heiau was built in sequences. The final grand scale was the work of Pi’ilani (the heiau’s name means House of Pi’ilani), the 14th-century Maui chief who is also credited with the construction of many of the coastal fishponds in the Hana area.” Information Source Lonely Planet Part of the 472 acre Kahanu Garden, the massive Pi’ilanihale Heiau, a structure constructed of lava rocks with immense tiered walls and terraces, is believed to be the largest ancient place of worship in Polynesia. Originally built in the 13th century, the heiau was extended by the High Chief Pi’ilani who came from West Maui in 1570 and conquered the chiefs of the fertile Hana area.

Featured Member’s Choice Outdoors ~ Forests 04 September 2007 ~ Ironwood Trees rooted in the lava rocks of Kauiki Hill, Hana Bay / Maui Hawaii “You do not have to be good. / You do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the desert repenting. You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves. Tell me about despair, / yours, / and I will tell you mine. / Meanwhile the world goes on. Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain are moving across the landscapes, over the prairies and the deep trees, the mountains and the rivers. Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air, are heading home again. Whoever you are, no matter how lonely, the world offers itself to your imagination, calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting over and over announcing your place in the family of things.” ~ from Dream Work by Mary Oliver
