One shall not be fooled by the crisp deep blue sky – yes, it was gorgeous but it was -35˚c whether or not my friend Ted believes it (he never does anyway as he seems to think Canada has become a tropic region after he left). :) River didn’t mind it at all though – the only “tracks” on the photo are River’s. Sometimes she left HUGE whole body tracks because the snow was so deep. I think she is preparing herself to live with the wolves on the tundra! :)

Just before a snowstorm the fog was trying to “block” the sun but…. :) Donation to charity / 50% of the proceeds of the sale of this image will be donated to Algonquin Park

After another big snowstorm, this is how many places look like! :)
-
This image was taken from a steep hill at the highlands of Algonquin Park in Ontario (the famous wolf park where over 200 protected wild wolves call home – it is still legal to hunt, trap and kill wolves here in Canada unfortunately). Although I was stepping in deep snow at -35˚c, this “far shot” gave a “false” sense of spring. :)
-
This is taken mid-morning after River and I ran into a HUGE moose after we got on a little path called “Camp Pathfinder” and followed the BIG footprints of a moose. There was so much snow that the moose literally sank to her stomach while walking. The poor thing was so heavy and had so much trouble dragging her feet from the deep snow and then sinking them in just as deep again. :( River was being a particular “brat” that day as she showed off by jumping and running circles around the giant moose and yet the gentle giant didn’t seem to be disturbed at all.

When I gave the title to this photo, I could just imagine Ted’s disbelief: “Oh, silly Terri,” he’d write, “It can’t be deep freeze. It must be late fall or early spring even though ALL weather channels say it’s early March and the average temp that day was -35˚c. They must ALL be wrong, wrong, wrong…!” :) :) :) This was taken the same day with the photo of “camp pathfinder” in Algonquin Park – my favorite wilderness park to date. :)

It’s St. Patrick’s Day here in Montreal but no matter how you “slice” it, it’s still winter here, not that I’m complaining. :)

My new friend Chad brought me to see George’s farm at Barry’s Bay, in the hope that he’d talk to me about wolves. After Chad got his Mercedes stuck on the muddy-icy-dirt road on the way and we all piled up in my “River crowded” 4×4, we arrived to a “George-less” farm. “He must be getting maple syrup ready in the forest,” Chad was finally ready to give up after a few loud yell of “George! George!” and only to meet the delightful little farm dog of George’s charging near. :) This is the top part of George’s completely solar powered farm house. :)
-
Just before darkness arrived at Park Voyageur, the edge of the forest almost gave a “sinister” feeling. :) Or, if one is more hopeful, one could say that it is meditative or “eerie”. :)

The sun just got up at beautiful Algonquin Park, where River and I had been running and hiking for more than two hours before the first light. :) Donation to charity / 50% of the proceeds of the sale of this image will be donated to Algonquin Park

After the snowmobiles passed by with what in her eyes must be “lightening speed”, River got on the trail, thinking that perhaps she could absorb some of that residue running power of the “loud beasts”. :) Donation to charity / 50% of the proceeds of the sale of this image will be donated to Algonquin Park

We met this coyote in the woods and River and the “stranger” became instant friends but after a few hours, River still couldn’t figure out whether or not the “bigger dog” was a dog…. :) Donation to charity / 50% of the proceeds of the sale of this image will be donated to Algonquin Park

Just before the last light disappeared and darkness dominated the forest, River and I enjoyed the almost “warm feeling” of the sun shining through the trees. However River discovered a little fawn at the “deep end” of the woods just after I took this photo (the dark and far end in the picture) and yelled at me to follow her to see her friend.

A fresh Hibiscus blossom unfolds at dawn in Ha’iku / Maui Hawai’i Copyright © Sharon Mau 2009 / All Rights Reserved This image was taken in early morning natural light with a Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi with no post processing Featured May 2009 The Woman Photographer This image is also offered as a Postage Stamp / and as a Magnet SOLD / 2x Laminated Print: Aloalo ~ Tropical Hibiscus / Medium / Black Border with Artist’s Details / 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.

The entire island of Maui is an enormous mountain rising up from depths of the ocean floor and surrounded by the vast and beautiful Pacific Ocean. The West Maui mountains are older than the East Maui mountains, specifically the majestic summit of Haleakala, which is one of the highest mountains on earth, a massive shield volcano that forms more than 75% of the Hawaiian Island of Maui, the summit of which is 10,023 feet in elevation from sea level. Mauna Kahalawai of West Maui is the mountain visible in many of my beach images from the south coast of the island and my sunset images from Ku’au and Ho’okipa on the North Shore. This is a composite of my photographs of a beautiful sunset on the golden sands of Po’olenalena Beach, Maui Hawai’i. Visible on the horizon is the sacred island of Kanaloa (Kaho’olawe Island) and Molokini. Text and research by Sharon Mau This image is dedicated with deepest spiritual love, respect and Aloha Na’au to my beloved husband Jacob Mau and kindest respect for his friend Kahu Daniel Kikawa~ Hawai’i ‘78 Revisited “No mind, no form, I only exist; / Now ceased all will and thought; / The final end of Nature’s dance, / I am it whom I have sought. A realm of Bliss bare, ultimate; / Beyond both knower and known; / A rest immense I enjoy at last; / I face the One alone. I have crossed the secret ways of life, / I have become the Goal. / The Truth immutable is revealed; I am the way, the God Soul. / My spirit aware of all the heights, / I am mute in the core of the Sun. / I barter nothing with time and deeds; / My cosmic play is done” ~ By: Sri Chinmoy 1931-2007 Aloha e Malama pono. Mahalo a nui loa for your many wonderful messages. Thank you so much! Featured in Natural Colour and Light group 09 January 2009 / This work is also featured in so many groups I lost count.... Mahalo to all the group hosts, thank you so much! Copyright © 2009 Sharon Mau / Sales* 2 Greeting Cards / Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi “The more eroded, highest peak of the West Maui mountains is Pu’u Kukui at 5,788 feet. The sacred O ‘Iao Valley is the most famous valley of this mountain range. The West Maui Mountains or West Maui Volcano, known to 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.” This archipelago represents the exposed peaks of a great undersea mountain range known as the Hawaiian-Emperor seamount chain, formed by volcanic activity over a hotspot in the earth’s mantle. At about 1,860 miles (3,000 km) from the nearest continent, the Hawaiian Island archipelago is the most isolated grouping of islands on Earth. The Hawaiian-Emperor seamount chain is composed of the Hawaiian Ridge, consisting of the islands of the Hawaiian chain northwest to Kure Atoll, and the Emperor Seamounts, a vast underwater mountain region of islands and intervening seamounts, atolls, shallows, banks and reefs along a line trending southeast to northwest beneath the northern Pacific Ocean. The seamount chain, containing over 80 identified undersea volcanoes, stretches over 5,800 kilometres (3,600 mi) from the Aleutian Trench in the far northwest Pacific to the Loʻihi seamount, the youngest volcano in the chain, which lies about 35 kilometres (22 mi) southeast of the Island of Hawaiʻi. The Hawaiian Islands are that portion of the Hawaiian-Emperor seamount chain that projects above sea level.” Information Source: Wikipedia.

Jacob is featured in one of Daniel’s books ~ God of Light, God of Darkness In preparation for the ‘Io Project, (‘Io is the Hawaiian name for God or the Supreme Creator) when Jacob was asked by Daniel to join the team, Daniel had received information about Jacob as he was working with DLNR in land conservation and drug enforcement, and considering that Jacob is Kanaka Kupuna and has a wealth of knowledge about his people and culture, the Heiau’s, the temples and other sacred, historic and archeological sites on Maui, Moloka’i and the other Hawaiian Islands. It was critically important that the spiritual cleansing of the heiau’s on all the islands take place at the same time. Date of the project 14 March 1998. Excerpt from God of Light ~ God of Darkness – Chapter 20 The Mountain Ridge / “Thursday morning, 12 March, dawned; and Daniel was still without a solution to their dilemma. The phone rang; it was Jacob Mau on Maui. Jacob was known as the best search and rescue man on Maui. He had hunted the mountains and back country of Maui since he was a boy and knew the land like his own back yard. He was a major factor in helping the Maui team find several heiau(s). Jacob told Daniel he was helping Pastor Alan Cravallo get permits to go into several remote valleys in Hamakua on the Big Island. So Daniel told him of their unsolvable problem on Moloka’i. Jacob said he would see what he could do and call him back. Daniel didn’t have high hopes. He had already checked out every possible option. But an hour later, Jacob called back. “I got you a helicopter that will land you at the very top of the mountain – FREE!!”. Daniel was stunned! It turned out Jacob had a pilot friend, Mike (last name withheld by request), who owed him a favour. He and Jacob had worked together many times doing search-and-rescue- missions. Getting permits was not a problem for these search-and-rescue pilots. Jacob said Mike was the best pilot in the islands and that he had landed in the Moloka’i high country many times.

Hawai’i is the newest landmass in Polynesia and the most isolated settled area on the globe, rife with unique ecosystems. Maui, sitting in the middle of the main Hawaiian island chain, is young geologically. Haleakala, still volcanically active in the 18th century and now considered dormant, rises 10,023 feet. The older and more eroded West Maui Mountains are 1.3 million years old. The tallest point at Pu’u Kukui – 5,788 feet – is one of the rainiest spots on earth.

Mahama Lauhala, Naupaka and Palm growing in the lava rocks near a tide pool along the beautiful coast of Poponi. “As with all great journeys, the vision is the beginning / Dreams of all the possibilities, / of the many paths widening to the future / Of all the great and extraordinary things our mind can imagine / The persistence of our own opportunistic souls reaching for what is yet unabridged / An unconscious decision to struggle forward yet again / And without even knowing of our focus / We start forward All of our past, / our teachings, / our experience / are brought into play / The trials of our past giving us the tools that we need to find our way / Our way to fulfilling this newest quest for our dream / No obstacle too great, / no argument rebuff / The journey begun, / we will not allow defeat / We can only see the unfolding, / as it will be / And as always, / the goal is reached / And there, / sated in the peace of our newly added thread in the web of our life / We rest / And the vision comes again” ~ by Steve ‘Easy’ Whitacre 2005 Copyright © Sharon Mau 2009 / All Rights Reserved Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi

A beautiful cow Moose and her yearling Calf browsing near North Pole Alaska ~ Winter Scenics
by Sharon MauThird Place Winner in the COUNTRY ROADS around the world Challenge What’s On YOUR Road? / A word of advice for everyone. Once the work is submitted to a challenge, don’t make any changes. I edited my original image and it disappeared from the challenge results. From my collection: / Emerquinox ~ The Spirit of Alaska ~ Alaska North Star Winter Scenics SOLD / 1x Matted Print A beautiful cow Moose and her yearling Calf browsing near North Pole Alaska ~ Winter Scenics Emerquinox is a word I coined when I combined the words Emerge and Equinox. This magnificent Cow Moose and her young calf were photographed with a Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi near North Pole Alaska. North Pole Alaska is about a twenty minute drive from Fairbanks Alaska on Badger Road. Did you know more than one Moose is still Moose? Many Moose, or two Moose, or one Moose, it is always Moose. Just thought you would want to know that. :) I have many more images of this beautiful Cow Moose and her yearling calf as they permitted me to watch and photograph them for over an hour! I have over 100 shots of them. Of course I wouldn’t wish to post them all, but I will upload a few more if you would like to see them! Thank you so much to the Hosts and to everyone for your kind notes and for voting for my image in the Country Roads Around the World challenge What’s on YOUR Road? My image won Third Place! Thank you so much!! Many of my viewers seem to perceive I am standing on the ground within arms length of this 1200+ lb Moose!! I wish for everyone to know and understand that I remained in my truck watching her with her adorable calf for well over an hour. And while she did approach me as I remained in my truck watching her, (with my engine idling and heater blowing as the temps were subzero!) once she decided I was no threat to her, she seemed as curious about me as I was about her and her darling calf! The Cows are very protective of their young, and the Bulls are aggressive and unpredictable as well. And I would advise everyone to never approach a Moose. She is a ‘resident’ Moose, and she and her calf live in the deep forest surrounding my home in the wilderness when I lived in Alaska near North Pole. She is wild, and certainly not tame, as someone asked. A Cow Moose will kill you if you come between her and her calves. Cows are generally not hunted, and she is simply accustomed to being around humans since she is one of several generations of Moose born in this area. With an abundance of Diamond Willow (their favourite) and other tender shoots along the roadways, and the remnants of summer gardens, they simply brush off the snow with their noses and browse. She has no need to migrate. There are many many more in this area. They are elusive however, and nocturnal for the most part, so it is always a thrill to see one! It is only in winter when one sees them struggling to survive the deep winter browsing during the “daylight” hours. And then too, in winter it is dark for so many hours so the night is extended! Most people think of Alaska as The Land of the Midnight Sun. That is true only for a short time in a very brief summer. In winter Alaska is The Land of Perpetual Darkness. The calf’s first winter is the most precarious. This calf is experiencing her first winter. I can see that she is a female calf by her fine feminine sex characteristics. The male calves are larger and masculine. During summer it is generally late evening, dusk, during the night and early morning when one sees the beautiful Moose browsing and foraging in the forests and along the rivers and roadways. ~ Sharon Mau Copyright © Sharon Mau 2009 / All Rights Reserved / My images do not belong to the public domain and may not be reproduced in any manner whatsoever without my written authorization.
