The sisters knew they are beautiful so they posed for the camera for a long time until I got it “right”. :) Donation to charity / 50% of the proceeds of the sale of this image will be donated to Algonquin Park
I call these My Siamese Twin Angels painting. Sometimes I think I am inspired by the angels above to paint and here I ended up with Siamese Twin Angels. Now, I bet you have never seen one painted like this before. Another one that I created while using my mouse. Each angel that I do has the light shown in their faces to represent the light that shines within us all.
I am not sure how clear this will be, but found what looks like the same girl twice so thought I would put the pics together. Sorry if its somewhat pixelated.

E ala mai ‘o loko i ke kuhohonu ‘o ke Aloha Hamoa / Hamoa Beach Maui Hawai’i Copyright © Sharon Mau 2009 / All Rights Reserved I picked some fresh Plumeria blossoms and a branch of blooming Bougainvillea and tossed them onto the luxurious black sand of Hamoa Beach and was only able to get a couple of shots when a wave came in and carried them out to sea. Beauty is Eternally Free / “Hidden behind the veil of mystery, / Beauty is eternally free from the slightest stain of imperfection. From the atoms of the world, / He created a multitude of mirrors; / into each one of them / He cast the image of His Face; / To the awakened eye, / anything that appears beautiful is only a reflection of that Face. / Now that you have seen the reflection, hurry to its Source; / In that primordial Light the reflection vanishes completely. Do not linger far from that primal Source; / When the reflection fades, you will be lost in darkness. / The reflection is as transient as the smile of a rose; / If you want permanence, / turn towards the Source; / If you want fidelity, / look to the Mine of faithfulness. / Why tear your soul apart over something here one moment / and gone the next?” ~ by Jami ~ Translation by Andrew Harvey and Eryk Hanut Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi Ourjrny YouTube
It was about being in the right place at the right time. I have to say, it was a truly moving moment. The child was wrapped to her mothers back and the group were Zulu’s sitting around one of the only trees we had passed for hundreds of miles. In the middle of the desert, a tribe of melodious Zulus appeared like a mirage.

Red Sea Infinity Pier, this is a stunning image taken on the coastline of the Sinai in Egypt. We have used HDR to bring out the amazing and magical purple, pink and red light reflecting from the sunset in the sky off the mountains that gives this stretch of water its name. The mountains are empty , yellow rocks by day but just for half an hour in the evening as the sun sets they reflect the red, pink and purple light into the sea and cause the water to glow red and we have the red sea. The walk way invites us to venture off the beach and out into this magical place of dreams. This calming, relaxed and tranquil photo helps us to imagine going on a spiritual journey of dreams to reach inner peace and to de stress our body, mind and soul. We have an image of the jetty with its detailed wood and ropes, clear purple, blue red and orange sky and the sea water and mountains all captured in this photograph. This image has used ‘HDR’ High Dynamic Range techniques to bring out the huge range of colours that are invisible to the naked eye.
View of Mauna Kahalewai, the West Maui mountains from Ulupalakua. / I took this shot from the passenger window of a moving vehicle as Jacob and I were driving to Kana’io. The West Maui Mountains or West Maui Volcano, known to the Hawaiians as Mauna Kahalawai and Hale Mahina form a much eroded shield volcano that constitutes the western one-quarter of the Hawaiian Island of Maui. The port of Lāhainā lies on the southwestern slope. / The wildlife sanctuaries and wetlands of Mauna Kahalewai are very beautiful. O ‘Iao Valley is covered in dense rainforest and is one of the wettest rainiest spots on earth. This area of the island receives an average of over 400 inches of rain each year The Hawaiian name for the mountains is “Kahalewai”, meaning House of Water. Another name is Hale Mahina meaning House of the Moon. It is believed that these mountains are named for the Goddess Hina of the Moon. Copyright © Sharon Mau 2009 / All Rights Reserved Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi Mauna Kahalewai “The East Maui mountains ancient name is Aheleakala [A-hele-a-ka-la]. The Western name is Haleakala means House of the Sun, named for the Sun God, La, and quite possibly named after the demi-god Maui-akalana, who slowed down the sun. More can be read about Maui in the ancient Hawaiian genealogical chant, Kumulipo Iao Valley is the most famous valley of this mountain range. The West Maui mountains are the second wettest spot in the world at 400 inches of rain per year. It is said that somewhere in Kahalewai there is a deep cavern filled with water and a passage way connected with the water cave. The West Maui Mountains or West Maui Volcano, known to the Hawaiians as Mauna Kahalewai, form a much eroded shield volcano that constitutes the western one-quarter of the Hawaiian Island of Maui. Kanaka Maoli are the Polynesian peoples of the Hawaiian Islands who trace their ancestry back to Marquesan and possibly Tahitian settlers (starting circa AD 400), precontact 1778. A shield volcano is a large volcano with shallowly-sloping sides. / The high point of the West Maui Volcano is Pu’u Kukui at 5,788 feet. The island of Maui is one of a chain of volcanoes and ancient underwater seamounts stretching nearly to the Aleutian Islands of Alaska. The Hawaiian Islands and Emperor Seamounts were all formed by a hot spot in the earth’s mantle erupting onto the ocean floor and building massive shield volcanoes that would sometimes break the surface. Maui is the second youngest island in the Hawaiian Islands and consists of two volcanoes in the chain It is thought that West Maui Volcano was born 2 million years ago. It is now extinct and has begun the slow process of subsiding and eroding back into the sea. Haleakala is about a million years younger than its neighbor and is still considered active having erupted at least 10 times in the last 1000 years. However, it has entered the last phase of its life as a growing mountain, a last gasp rejuvenated phase that all Hawaiian volcanoes enter before they go extinct forever. Approximately 400,000 years ago Maui was much larger than it is today. Usually referred to as Maui Nui (“Big Maui”) it was made up of present day Maui, Moloka’i, Lana’i, and Kaho’olawe and was larger than the present day big island of Hawai’i. The subsiding of the island led to the separation of Moloka’i and Lana’i from Maui and Kaho’olawe about 300,000 years ago. About 150,000 years ago Lana’i and Moloka’i separated as did Kaho’olawe and Maui. It is thought that only 15,000 years remain before West Maui and East Maui (Haleakala) are split into two islands.

Quickening “Wisdom of Raven and Wolf / hangs within my reach. / You have only to patiently listen, / and I will teach. Witches bane, Fairy cross, / Star-clad and Quick with Life, / I will protect you from all harm, / Evil intent or Heavenly strife. Bride’s Crown, / Lady of the May. / First womanly flame of Creation, / I remind you that Life is a journey… / not a destination.”
....in print, in the movies, on DVD, plagiarized, bootlegged, millionaire…...
“Nearly purple, my blushing red face / can be found in almost any field. / One of Creator’s numberless gifts, / my many uses have long been revealed. / Tonic, tincture, poultice, bath or tea… / Leaves like trinity knots, I lift, / singing of healing, calming, and renewal of every degree.” Who Sings Now?
“Shy, modest and faithful / I hide amoung the shadows / yet wear the color of Emperors and Divinity. / With a true heart I herald the / Goddess of Spring, / and caution vigilence in all things. / Sugared sweet or tossed about / with tasty greens, / I am a treat fit for mortal queens.” Who Sings Now?
....praying in the Oval Office….
The Winds laugh as they rush off / in their whirling waltz over the distant hills. / The Trees confer in rustling whispers / before everything stills… A soft sweet tune, / like / the fierce and splendid / Humming of the Sun, Casts it’s own perfumed rays / to soothe sore hearts… ”...Everyone! Joy waits for no season! / Open your heart! / Love is not bound / by Time… / ...or Death / or Reason! / Beauty awaits you … / ... at every turn! Stop. ....Hover…. / Drink / deeply / of Life… / ...Leave only bitter dregs behind… / for they are the least / of all earthly / concerns…. / Laugh! Sing! / Live! / Feed upon the / sweet heart / of each moment! / For… / ...All Life / ...Is Magic… / ... Beauty is Truth… / ...and War itself / crumbles before / Loving / Commitment. / ... I am the Gentle Warrior / of Great Spirit. / So fine, swift, and cunning / was I made that… ...I might thread a needle with my song / and stitch this message upon your heart …. ...Thrive upon the surety / that Courage.. / ...Love… / ...Freedom… / ...Clarity and… / ...Healing… / ...Are Miracles… unbounded / by humble mortal form… ...The only limits are the ones we create with our Belief…. / ...Believe the Miraculous… And the World / Will be / Reborn!” Who Sings Now?
“Power echoes in each beat I keep. Visions unparalleled… Heights unguessed… Summoned by Zeus, I hide in Apollo’s hem, watching from on high as along the ground you creep. I clutch Mother’s ancient bones, then into the East Wind I leap! I carry the whispered Wisdom of Creator’s Will… Inspire excellence in thought and deed… Cleanse souls, evoke Justice and banish all Ill. Courage, Honor, Clarity, Strength, Visions I carry like Lighting in my fists and Thunder on my back! Great Mystery leaves subtle tracks, but, with me as your guide, the path will be straight. All is well within your grasp so fear not Icarus’ fate! Singed is better than fallen, and life is best spent with a true mate.” Who sings now? This shot was taken in Bethel Park, Pennsylvania at the Mine Three trolley stop, Library line.
“Protect the Child, both within and without, / and I will teach you how best to hide / if you have any doubts! / I run between the rim / of this World and the Others / Perhaps this is why I am hunted… / and perhaps… / I am simply a bit more Fae than my Brothers! / The Fair Folk and I have often traded favors, / Magic, / Invisibility, / and the Shifting of shape. / Oft-times I am little more than / a clever / charming / Shadow / against a Dreamscape.” Who sings now? About the shot: This handsome fellow is the memory doll I made for our grandson Zakary before he was born. Each piece of material came from something belonging to each member of our central family, as well as from both paternal and maternal grandmothers. Zak adored him right from the start, and this Faerie Prince looked after Zak when we couldn’t be there for him. He was returned to me at Zak’s memorial service after Zak passed last year. He is a wonderful comfort and good listener. This shot was taken at our old house in Castle Shannon, Pa

Sweet as Love’s first kiss, / I ease aching bones, / quiet winter coughs, / and evoke joyful bliss. Grace, Protection and / good Health I bequeath / to every child waiting to be born, / and every blushing bride / beneath my wreath. Generous Heart / leads to / Generous Mind. / I will show you the path / of the Gentle Warrior, / Modest, loving, innocent, mercifully kind.” Who sings now? About the picture: This sunset was captured at the Mine Three stop of our local railed transit in Bethel Park, PA.
One uilleann voice lifts above the chorus, / Complex, full-throated, / Wisdom winding toward us… “I will Teach you to / Sift the Winds for secrets, / to Trust your senses, / to Go Within on stalker’s feet, and / Hunt down your worst enemy / within the darkness of your Soul! At every Corner I await you… / Singing of Lessons unending / Courage / Re-birthing / Noble Death / Compassion / Protection / Balance between Self / and Duty… Listen! / Walk in Beauty! Follow the trail of the Relentless Hunter, / for no path may be hidden from My hunger!” Who sings now?
.....and yet, still EXPOSED and TRANSPARENT…..
