The evening sky over Molokai, as seen from Maui. The rain came down, but we were safe and dry. Sadly, the sky wasn’t quite as dramatic as the photo suggests, it was taken using a friend’s sunglasses as a makeshift filter!

A beautiful view of Mauna Kahalawai, the West Maui mountains and the valley isthmus below which separates West Maui from Haleakala, from the lovely Terrace Gardens of Kula Lodge, Upcountry Maui Hawai’i Copyright © Sharon Mau 2009 / All Rights Reserved EARTH VOICES by: Bliss Carman (1861-1929) / “I heard the spring wind whisper / Above the brushwood fire, / “The world is made forever / Of transport and desire. / “I am the breath of being, / The primal urge of things; / I am the whirl of star dust, / I am the lift of wings. “I am the splendid impulse / That comes before the thought, / The joy and exaltation / Wherein the life is caught. “Across the sleeping furrows / I call the buried seed, / And blade and bud and blossom / Awaken at my need. “Within the dying ashes / I blow the sacred spark, / And make the hearts of lovers / To leap against the dark.” I heard the spring light whisper / Above the dancing stream, / “The world is made forever / In likeness of a dream. “I am the law of planets, / I am the guide of man; / The evening and the morning / Are fashioned to my plan. “I tint the dawn with crimson, / I tinge the sea with blue; / My track is in the desert, / My trail is in the dew. “I paint the hills with colour, / And in my magic dome / I light the star of evening / To steer the traveller home. “Within the house of being, / I feed the lamp of truth / With tales of ancient wisdom / And prophecies of youth. “I heard the spring rain murmur / Above the roadside flower, / “The world is made forever / In melody and power. “I keep the rhythmic measure / That marks the steps of time, / And all my toil is fashioned / To symmetry and rhyme. “I plow the untilled upland, / I ripe the seeding grass, / And fill the leafy forest / With music as I pass. “I hew the raw, rough granite / To loveliness of line, / And when my work is finished, / Behold, it is divine! “I am the master-builder / In whom the ages trust. / I lift the lost perfection / To blossom from the dust.” Then Earth to them made answer, / As with a slow refrain / Born of the blended voices / Of wind and sun and rain, / “This is the law of being / That links the threefold chain: / The life we give to beauty / Returns to us again.” Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi
