I titled this a Happy Day because we sing a song in our family by this name. The image reminds me of the words to the song. Basically the idea is that we thank God for the beautiful day and the weather. When I photographed this flower I felt so much in awe of God’s creation and the opportunity that he has given me to capture his artwork.

Sunshine / / / The world gives me reasons, / To shout, scream and cry, / But the Sunshine always, / Make my worries go by. The Sunshine is like an angel, / It touches me through me Soul, / It gives me reason to smile, / Makes me complete on the whole. The Sunshine is like a sound, / It synchronizes the music in me, / I get great cause to celebrate, as, / It lets my spirit free. No matter its day or night, / The Sunshine is always there, / Making the shrewd world around, / Look pretty and fair. My Sunshine is soft and gentle, / Its snug and soothing too, / It snips my sorrows off me, / My Sunshine, dear, its You! -Composed on 13/05/07……….. Special dedication to Aayush and Ankit! / With great Love… Manisha By: Manisha Sharma / /

Sunset from the western slopes of Haleakala Maui Hawai`i “Well, I found you in the twilight garden, / Laid a lover’s hand upon your shoulder, / And we both were made aware of loving / Past the reach of reason to unravel, / Or the much desiring heart to follow. There we heard the breath among the grasses / And the gurgle of softly running water, / Well contented with the spacious starlight, / The cool wind’s touch and the deep blue distance, / Till the dawn came in with golden sandals.” Poetry by Sappho Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi / Shooting Date/Time 01 June 2008 20:13:57 / Tv( Shutter Speed ) 1/200 / Av( Aperture Value ) 8.0 / ISO Speed 100 / Lens EF28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM / Focal Length 60.0 mm Copyright © Sharon Mau 2009 / All Rights Reserved

Nauweuwe Ka Honua / Hawaiian Translation: Now Comes the Heaven Born This is a composite of two images taken at the same location at the same time on Ho’okipa, Maui Hawai’i. Copyright © Sharon Mau 2009 / All Rights Reserved / My images do not belong to the public domain Featured in All That is Nature 30 December 2008 The Hula Kolani “For the purpose of this book the rating of any variety of hula must depend not so much on the grace and rhythm of its action on the stage as on the imaginative power and dignity of its poetry. Judged in this way, the kolani is one of the most interesting and important of the hulas. Its performance seems to have made no attempt at sensationalism, yet it was marked by a peculiar elegance. This must have been due in a measure to the fact that only adepts-olóhe-those of the most finished skill in the art. of hula, took part in its presentation. It was a hula of gentle, gracious action, acted and sung while the performers kept a sitting position, and was without instrumental accompaniment. The fact that this hula was among the number chosen for presentation before the king (Kamehameha III) while on a tour of Oahu in the year 1846 or 1847 is emphatic testimony as to the esteem in which it was held by the Hawaiians themselves. The mele that accompanied this hula when performed for the king’s entertainment at Waimanalo was the following: He ua la, he ua, / He ua pi’i mai; / Noe-noe halau, / Halau lea o Lono. / 5 O lono oe; / Pa-á-a na pali / I ka hana a Ikuwá- / Pohá ko-ele-ele. / A Welehu ka maláma, / 10 Noho i Makali’i; / Li’i-li’i ka hana. / Aia a e’é-u, / He eu ia no ka la hiki. / Hiki mai ka Lani, / 15 Nauweuwe ka honua, / Ka hana a ke ola’i nui: / Moe pono ole ko’u po- / Na niho ai kalakala, / Ka hana a ka Niuhi / 20 A mau i ke kai loa. / He loa o ka hiki’na. / A ua noa, a ua noa. p. 217 [Translation] Lo, the rain, the rain! / The rain is approaching; / The dance-hall is murky, / The great hall of Lono. / 5 Listen! its mountain walls / Are stunned with the clatter, / As when in October, / Heaven’s thunderbolts shatter. / Then follows Welehu, / 10 The month of the Pleiads. / Scanty the work then done, / Save as one’s driven. / Spur comes with the sun, / When day has arisen. / 15 Now comes the Heaven-born: / The whole land doth shake, / As with an earthquake; / Sleep quits then my bed: / How shall this maw be fed! / 20 Great maw of the shark— / Eyes that gleam in the dark / Of the boundless sea! / Rare the king’s visits to me. / All is free, all is free! If the author of this Hawaiian idyl sought to adapt its descriptive imagery to the features of any particular landscape, it would almost seem as if he had in view the very region in which Kauikeaouli found himself in the year 1847 as he listened to the mele of this unknown Hawaiian Theocritus. Under the spell of this poem, one is transported to the amphitheater of Mauna-wili, a valley separated from Waimanalo only by a rampart of hills. At one’s back are the abrupt walls of Konahuanni; at the right, and encroaching so as almost to shut in the front, stands the knife-edge of Olomana; to the left range the furzy hills of Ulamawao; while directly to the front, looking north, winds the green valley, whose waters, before reaching the ocean, spread out into the fish-ponds and duck swamps of Kailua. It would seem as if this must have been the very picture the idyllic poet had in mind. This smiling, yet rock-walled, amphitheater was the vast dance-hall of Lono-Halau loa o Lono (verse 4)-whose walls were deafened, stunned (pa-á-a, verse 6), by the tumult and uproar of the multitude that always followed in the wake of a king, a multitude whose night-long revels banished sleep: Moe pono ole ko’u po (verse 17). The poet seems to be thinking of this same hungry multitude in verse 18, niho ai kalakala, literally the teeth that tear the food; also when he speaks of the Niuhi (verse 19), a mythical shark, the glow of whose eyes was said to be visible for a great distance in the ocean, A mau i ke kai loa (verse 20). Ikuwá, Welehu, Makali’i (verses 7, 9, and 10). These were months in the Hawaiian year corresponding to a part of September, October and November, and a part of December. The Hawaiian year began when the Pleiades (Makali’i) rose at sunset (about November 20), and was divided into twelve lunar months of twenty-nine or thirty days each. The names of the months differed somewhat in the different parts of the group. The month Ikuwá is said to have been so named from its being the season of thunderstorms. This does not of itself settle the time of its occurrence, for the reason that in Hawaii the procession of the seasons and the phenomena of weather follow no definite order; that is, though electrical storms occur, there is no definite season of thunderstorms. Maka-li’i (verse 10) was not only the name of a month and the name applied to the Pleiades, but was also a name given the cool, the rainy, season. The name more commonly given this season was Hooilo. The Makahiki period, continuing four months, occurred at this time of the year. This was a season when the people rested from unnecessary labor and devoted themselves to festivals, games, and special religious observances. Allusion is made to this avoidance of toil in the words Li’ili’i ka hana (verse 11).” Excerpt from The Unwritten Literature of Hawai’i ~ Sacred Texts Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi

Palm Silhouettes / Sunset Christmas Day on Maui The Adventurer “Dusk on the sea; the fading twilight shifts / The night wind bears the ocean’s whisper dim wind, on your bosom many a phantom drifts - A silver star climbs up the blue world rim. / Wind, make the green leaves dance above me here And idly swing my silken hammock – so; / Now, on that glimmering molten silver mere / Send the long ripples wavering to and fro. / And let your moon-white tresses touch my face And let me know your slim-armed, cool embrace While to my dreamy soul you whisper low. Dream – aye, I’ve dreamed since last night left her tower And now again she comes on star-soled feet. Welcome, old friend; here in this rose-gemmed bower I’ve drowsed away your Sultan’s golden heat. Here in my hammock, Time I’ve dreamed away For I have but to stretch a hand out, lo, I’m treading languorous shores of Yesterday, Moon-silvered deserts or the star-weird snow; I float o’er seas where ships are purple shells, / I hear the tinkle of the camel bells / That waft down Cairo’s streets when dawn winds blow. South Seas! I watch when dusky twilight comes Making vague gods of ancient, sea-set trees. / The world path beckons – loud the mystic drums – Here at my hand the magic golden keys / That fit the doors of Romance, / Wonder, / strange / Dim gossamer adventures; seas and stars. Why, I have roamed the far Moon Mountain range When sunset minted gold in shimmering bars. / All eager eyed I’ve sailed from ports of Spain / And watched the flashing topaz of the Main / When dawn was flinging witch fire on the spars. / I am content in dreams to roam my fill / The vagrant, drifting sport of wind and tide, / Slave of the greater freedom, venture’s thrill; / Here every magic ship on which I ride. Gold, green, blue, red, a priceless treasure trove, More wealth than ever pirate dared to dream. / My hammock swings – about the world I rove. / The sunset’s dusk, the dawning’s glide and gleam, Moon-dappled leaves are murmuring in the wind Which whispers tales. Lo, Tyre is just behind, Through seas of dawn I sail, / Romance abeam.” ~ by Robert Ervin Howard My images do not belong to the public domain and may not be reproduced in any manner whatsover without my express written authorization. / Copyright © Sharon Mau 2009 / All Rights Reserved Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi / 25 December 2008 19:25:33 / Tv Shutter Speed 1/250 / Av Aperture Value 10.0 / ISO 100 / Lens EF28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM / Focal Length 28.0 mm Currently with 995 Views and 1 Sale

I visited this area many times over the last 20 years to photograph this very scene, usually in the dark after twilight. I was there two nights ago and I couldn’t resist shooting it again as the sun set. I was also fortunate this time to have the lights from the two cars which passed by, one up and one down the hill, aligned so nicely. This is taken at “Ladies Lookout” atop Signal Hill, St John’s Newfoundland Canada. “Ladies Lookout” is so named because from this very point women would for generations walk there to look for signs of their men returning from the fishing grounds, the Grand Banks of Newfoundland. You can only imagine when Mother Nature unleashed the mighty North Atlantic the humility these people must have felt!

The Sound of the Sun / Embrace of the Everlasting “It makes one all right, / though you hadn’t thought of it, / A sound like the sound of the sky on fire, / like Armageddon, / Whistling and crackling, the explosions of sunlight booming / As the huge mass of gas rages into the emptiness around it. It isn’t a sound you are often aware of, / though the light speeds / To us in seconds, / each dawn leaping easily across a chasm / Of space that swallows the sound of that sphere, / but If you listen closely some morning, when the sun swells Over the horizon and the world is stil / and still asleep, / You might hear it, / a faint noise so far inside your mind / That it must come from somewhere, / from light rushing to darkness, / Energy burning towards entropy, / towards a peaceful solution, / Burning brilliantly, spontaneously, in the middle of nowhere, And you, too, must make a sound that is somewhat like it, Though that, of course, you have no way of hearing at all.” ~ The Sound of the Sun by George Bradley Sun Pillar / Sunset near Chena River Lakes Recreational Park / Wilderness of North Pole Alaska / From my collection: / Emerquinox Spirit of Alaska / Emerquinox is a word I coined when I combined the words Emerge and Equinox.

It is close to the Tower of London, which gives it its name.Name It has become an iconic symbol of London.
