She was originally named Lydia Liliu Loloku Walania Wewehi Kamaka’eha, Lydia Liliuokalani Paki, and also known as Lydia Kamakaʻeha Paki, with the chosen royal name of Liliʻuokalani. Queen Liliʻuokalani was an accomplished author and songwriter. Her book, Hawaiʻi’s Story by Hawaiʻi’s Queen, gave her view of the history of her country and her overthrow and therefore became the first Native Hawaiian female author. Liliʻuokalani was known for her musical talent. Lili’u is said to have played guitar, piano, organ, ‘ukulele and zither. She also sang alto, performing Hawaiian and English sacred and secular music. She would find herself in music. In her memoirs she wrote: “to compose was as natural to me as to breathe. This gift remains a source of the greatest consolation.” She wrote over 165 songs and chants. Some of her best-known musical compositions include the song, “Aloha ʻOe”, “The Queen’s Jubilee”, “He Mele Lahui Hawai’i”, and “Ku’u Pua I Paoakalani” ~ Source: Wikipedia

This image was taken in Lahaina on Maui 02 May 2008 72.0 dpi / Av( Aperture Value ) 5.6 / Metering Mode Evaluative Metering / White balance compensation B1 M1 / Lens EF28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM / ISO Speed 200 The Moluccan Cockatoo, Cacatua moluccensis, also known as Salmon-crested Cockatoo, is a cockatoo endemic to south Moluccas in eastern Indonesia. At 50 cm, it is the largest of the white cockatoos. The female is larger than the males on average. It has white-pink feathers with a definite peachy glow, a slight yellow on the underwing and underside of the tail feathers and a large retractable recumbent crest which it raises when threatened, revealing hitherto concealed bright red-orange plumes to frighten potential attackers (may also be raised in excitement, or other ‘emotional’ displays). It also has one of the louder calls in the parrot world and in captivity is a capable mimic. In the wild the Moluccan Cockatoo inhabits lowland forests below 1000m. The diet consists mainly of seeds, nuts and fruit, as well as coconuts The Moluccan Cockatoo can no longer be imported into the United States because it is listed on the Wild Bird Conservation Act. However, they are being bred in captivity. Potential owners should be fully aware of the husbandry requirements of the species. The Moluccan Cockatoo is widely considered to be the most demanding parrot to keep as a pet. A typical Moluccan Cockatoo needs around eight hours of daily attention from its caregiver to keep it happy. As with most large cockatoos, the Moluccan Cockatoo develops health and behavioral problems such as feather-plucking and aggression if not provided with the appropriate environment, attention, and enrichment opportunities. / Information Source: Wikipedia

Intrinsic light over the shafts of pure language, / Fire in the mind, flame over waves, / Fortunate dream of the lost coast, / Fortunate flight of the nocturne, / Birds of paradise fall gently / Into chromatic sound, chromatic plumes, / The long feathers of tropical hope, / Cast over the ruins of an ocean’s swell. / The reef rises within autumnal memory / Leaving solace to the bright latitudes, / Where vision ponders fluid arches / Of the ringed and watery curl. Spirit feels the free contemplation – / Word within wordless rainforest catacombs, / Touching mangrove to the winged border, / Sculpting a reign of peace, a soft anarchy, / A desired motion of monastic seclusion, / A vowed silence throughout the floating surge. A flute rises like the soft lotus, / In a dual mind, an escape to sacred grottos / Within the long, senescent island. / Breathe the high surf’s blue foliage, / Breathe the purity of the symphonic wave. / The edge of a mutable mask is removed, / Revealing the gate of paradise to the heart’s heat, / Deep, pendulous, and ancient desire.

/ “*Piper Nigrum” is part of the Tropics Collection...Watercolour on Fabriano Paper…see others below.. Pungent and aromatic, piper nigrum (black pepper) has been grown in Southern India for more than two thousand years… The fruit, here shown growning on the vine, and known as a peppercorn when dried, is a small drupe five millimetres in diameter, dark red when fully mature, containing a single seed. / Along with other spices, it changed the course of world history, leading to the European efforts to find a sea route to India and consequently colonial occupation of that country, as well as the discovery and colonization of the Americas. Pepper was so valuable that it was often used as collateral or even currency. / Dried ground pepper is one of the most common spices in European cuisine, having been known and prized since antiquity for both its flavour and its use as a medicine. The spiciness of black pepper is due to the chemical piperine. Ground black peppercorn, usually referred to simply as “pepper”, may be found on nearly every dinner table in many parts of the world.

“Happy Orchid” is a reproduction of an original acrylic painting. This lovely orchid was painted for Kauai’s Orchid and Art Festival in Hanapepe. What an incredible event that was this year! I taught a workshop in painting orchids in watercolors, and as we painted we were serenaded by live Hawaiian slack key guitar music by Cindy Combs and then a concert by Makana!! Aloha and Have a Very Sunny Day! / Marionette

Aloha ‘oe / Aloalo Aheahe / Exotic Tropical Hibiscus soft billowing breeze / Ha’iku Maui Hawai’i “On a road outreaching the white clouds, / By a spring outrunning the bluest river, / Petals come drifting on the wind / And the brook is sweet with them all the way. / My quiet gate is a mountain-trail, / And the willow-trees about my cottage / Sift on my sleeve, through the shadowy noon, / Distillations of the sun.” poetry by Liu Shen-hsu Copyright © Sharon Mau 2009 / My images do not belong to the public domain. Reproduction is strictly prohibited. All rights reserved Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi / Shooting Date 25 November 2009 It is believed that there are only five species of Hibiscus that originated from Hawai’i. Other species found their origin in Asia and the Pacific islands. In the early twenties, the Hibiscus Brackenbridgei was adopted as the official Territorial flower of Hawai’i. It kept this status throughout the 20th century, but only in 1988 its yellow colour was defined as the official colour for the Hibiscus representing the State of Hawai’i. Before 1988, the official Hibiscus could have any colour. Additionally, it was not until 1988 that the flower could represent the State of Hawai’i, because before that time the territorial status of the group of islands was unclear. Hawai’i’s state flower (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis) originated in Asia and the Pacific islands. Interestingly, it is also the national flower of Malaysia. Research suggests there were originally only five species of the tropical Hibiscus that were native to Hawai’i. Growers began to hybridize these native species with other varieties imported to Hawai’i, which produced the huge kaleidoscope of colours and sizes available today. There are several ways to tell the difference between the tropical and hardy perennial varieties. Tropical hibiscuses have dark green glossy leaves, sporting 3-4 inch flowers that are either single or double in colors of yellow, orange, pink, or red. Also, tropical hibiscus can have blossoms of salmon, orange, yellow, or peach with double flowers. Hardy perennial Hibiscus have foliage of medium-green with leaves that are heart shaped. Their flowers of white, red, or pink are much larger than those of the tropical Hibiscus. Many hibiscus aficionados increase the number of plants they have by using cuttings, a practice known as cloning or asexual reproduction. Select the best tips; look for good leaf color and a robust upright growing stance. Water the plants in the morning before taking the cuttings. Use sterilized shears. Count down about 4 leaf nodes to where the stem starts turning from light green to brown. Make each cut at a 45 degree angle just below a leaf node. Remove the lower leaves from the cutting, as well as any large top leaves. Dip the point of the cutting into a rooting stimulant, and then insert them into the growing medium only as deep as necessary to keep them upright. The cuttings should be fully rooted by the end of 6 weeks, and can then be transplanted. If the cuttings have been rooted in a green house, they should be hardened off before transplanting, by switching them to regular irrigation, and moving them out into the sunlight during the day, and back indoors for the night, for a few days. This is a hardy perennial Hibiscus
