“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

See the person on the lava rocks below? ;) “In Xanadu did Kubla Khan / A stately pleasure-dome decree : / Where Alph, the sacred river, ran / Through caverns measureless to man / Down to a sunless sea. / So twice five miles of fertile ground / With walls and towers were girdled round : / And there were gardens bright with sinuous rills, / Where blossomed many an incense-bearing tree ; / And here were forests ancient as the hills, / Enfolding sunny spots of greenery. / But oh ! that deep romantic chasm / which slanted Down the green hill athwart a cedarn cover ! / A savage place ! / as holy and enchanted / As e’er beneath a waning moon was haunted / By woman wailing for her daemon-lover ! / And from this chasm, with ceaseless turmoil seething, / As if this earth in fast thick pants were breathing, / A mighty fountain momently was forced : / Amid whose swift half-intermitted burst / Huge fragments vaulted like rebounding hail, / Or chaffy grain beneath the thresher’s flail : / And ‘mid these dancing rocks at once and ever / It flung up momently the sacred river. / Five miles meandering with a mazy motion / Through wood and dale the sacred river ran, / Then reached the caverns measureless to man, / And sank in tumult to a lifeless ocean : / And ‘mid this tumult Kubla heard / from far Ancestral voices prophesying war ! / The shadow of the dome of pleasure / Floated midway on the waves ; / Where was heard the mingled measure / From the fountain and the caves. / It was a miracle of rare device, / A sunny pleasure-dome with caves of ice ! / A damsel with a dulcimer / In a vision once I saw : / It was an Abyssinian maid, / And on her dulcimer she played, / Singing of Mount Abora. / Could I revive within me Her symphony and song, / To such a deep delight ‘twould win me, / That with music loud and long, I would build that dome in air, / That sunny dome ! / those caves of ice ! / And all who heard should see them there, / And all should cry, Beware ! Beware ! / His flashing eyes, his floating hair ! / Weave a circle round him thrice, / And close your eyes with holy dread, / For he on honey-dew hath fed, / And drunk the milk of Paradise.” ~ Samuel Taylor Coleridge – 1797

Hawaiian Fire Goddess Pele surfing.
During this past week, unimaginable waves came crashing into the north shores of the Hawaiian islands. The surf was windy, and messy, and disorganized—not ridable for the great watermen of Hawaii. I happened to be in Sunset Beach, Oahu during the storm, and the sun only peeked through the clouds a couple of times, briefly. I was waiting. Here is my image.

G. lamingtonia grows to 20 feet with very heavy bloom set every 2-3 months in Hawai’i. An outstanding and beautiful Gardenia from Thailand cultivated here on Maui. They open with rich creamy white single flowers which turn bright orange as they age. It is a great bloomer that is in full display twice a year on the islands. It has a beautiful fragrance. They must be kept from cold and need full sun to bloom best. These large shrub is growing naturalized in Lower Nahiku. / It is a rare collectible plant. A 4 ” pot will cost from $18.00 to $30.00. Some of the flowers are up to 4” wide. This large, rounded shrub can be trained into a small tree, maintainable to a height under 10 feet.

Flowers change colour while maturing from ivory through golden yellow to orange-yellow. The wonderful fragrance is very strong. They bloom in spring onward.
