Stroking a Lion by Braedene
How many pictures can you take?? This is just to show you that all my lion shots were truly a close encounter. This is the male cub who just loved getting stroked. The stick is in my left hand because if he rose up you had to show you were the ‘master’ by tapping the stick at the side of his head! yeah – right!! Anyway the man with the dart gun was close by. I love cats and this was one time I could honestly say it was the most terrific experience and one I’d always wanted to have. I spent about 3 hours with both cubs.

Iggy Wedding by Patricia Anne McCarty
This is one of my very first photo manipulation pic that I did back when i had a friend known as “Mel”. Mel lived in Malaysia, she had a male iguana, She sent me pic of her iggy and I sent her one of mine. This is her iguana Abbs and my Mikie girl together. They are both rescued from pet shops who knew nothing about the iggys. Mel’s Abbs was sick and she nursed him back to health same as I did with Mikie. It was fun to create and she loved the results as much as I did! This will be a GREAT valentine’s day card! / / Copyright / These Images and Writings Do Not Belong To ANY Public Domain.

Ho'ola hou i ke kanaka Ho'okupu Koki Beach Hana Maui Hawai'i by Sharon Mau
Featured Art 18 June 2009 Of Noble Birth Copyright © Sharon Mau 2009 / All Rights Reserved Ho’ola hou i ke kanaka / Hawaiian Translation: Life of Mankind is Again Revived / Ho’okupu Koki Beach Sunset Hana Maui Hawai’i E ola mau ke lewa / The heavens live on E ola mau ka honua / The earth lives on E ho’opulu mau ka ua i ka ‘aina / The land continues to be moistened by the rain E ulu mau ka waokele / The upland forests continue to grow Alaila, mohala a’e ka pua / Therefore, the “flowers” continue to blossom Ho’ola hou i ke kanaka / Life of mankind is again revived ~ Quote by © Bruddah Keahi “Ho`okupu is often recognized as a spiritual offering or a gift. / It is a physical contribution of an individual or group request for acknowledgement from a specific deity or source. Ho`okupu is used to ensure growth, increase mana (spiritual power, life force) or cause to sprout;. Your ho`okupu could be your voice [oli], a kinolau [physical manifestation of deity i.e. awa, kalo, i`a] or something that is made by or precious to the individual or group making the request. A ho`okupu is an offering of symbolic significance for the occasion. / It may be a certain type of food or plant, a song or chant, perhaps even a rock or water from your homeland. Sometimes the item is dictated by the particular ceremony, other times, by what the individual feels is appropriate. In offering the ho`okupu, as the word indicates, one asks for growth; that one’s request be granted; that there be a reciprocation; that there be an exchange of mana or life force. Ho`okupu is a traditional protocol among the Kanaka Maoli `O Hawai`i [indigenous people of Hawai`i] that is dictated by hö`ihi [respect] for the host, land, ancestors or Gods. It establishes a connection between the giver and the receiver that is culturally appropriate. Some examples of ho`okupu being offered are as follows: / A group of students went to visit a wahi pana, a place of historical or cultural significance, in this instance, an old Hawaiian village site. They were asked to bring a ho`okupu to offer to the ancestors of the village that they, the students, may receive the gift of knowledge of that wahi pana. When visiting the volcano region, many people offer a ho`okupu at the crater of Halema`uma`u. This is seen as a way of showing respect for the spirits of the region, particularly Pele, the goddess of the volcano. Prior to setting out to sea, fishermen would offer a ho`okupu to their god, as an offering for an abundant catch.” Information Source: Pukui, Mary Kawena, Samuel H. Elbert. Hawaiian Dictionary. UH Press, Honolulu. 1986 / ___________ “Offerings at a volcano and at other sacred sites certainly are part of Hawaiian religion and tradition. Offerings to Pele, and other Hawaiian entities, must be made with great care and training, or they can open a path for spiritual problems. The best “rule of thumb” is that if you have not been trained by a respected Kanaka practitioner, don’t do it. A rock as an offering, wrapped in a Ti leaf or not, is offensive. Some people believe that the psudo-custom began when island visitors saw Hawaiian people putting Ti-wrapped rocks on top of Ho`okupu (traditional offerings) to keep rodents from eating them. Not understanding what was going on, they tried to copy, and ended up doing something inappropriate. There are specific protocols for making different kinds of offerings. / Hula offerings are not appropriate at fishing altars. / Fishing offerings are not appropriate at Kilauea. / Unless a person is a trained Kahu, Kumu, or Kahuna, it is often very difficult to distinguish between them. Offerings of things of a personal nature – hair, a locket you have worn, a ring, bracelet, photographs, should not be made, as that type of offering entails vows which can bind the supplicant, and his or her family, for generations. / One may end up biting off far more than one wants to chew. If one has a dream or other instruction to make such an offering, it should be discussed with a reputable kahu, kumu, or kahuna before the physical action is taken. The most appropriate offering that any person can make can be made without any tangible item being left behind. / The most perfect offering is one’s Aloha, Ha, and Olelo. To love a place, and breathe out that love in the form of a spoken promise to cherish and protect it, that is the most perfect offering. I think the best-put response to this question that I have ever seen was written by Edward Kanahele. His forward to Van James’ book, “Wahi Pana,” is clear and well-reasoned. Kanahele points out: People who come to these islands “are of many different philosophical and spiritual persuasions. . .For the tourist or resident who is not a practitioner [of the Native Hawaiian religion], a minimal duty whould be that one has the intent of doing no harm. . . One should take a moment to reflect. . . One should not leave any [physical] offering (never leave a rock covered with a ti leaf). One should not disturb or take any souvenir rocks or other material because such an action affects one’s spiritual safety. Neither should one leave a spiritual or personal object. . . since that also affects one’s spiritual safety.” “If the visitor feels spiritually compelled to connect. . . then one should offer a ho`okupu. One of the ho`okupu of highest value in the indigenous Hawaiian culture is not an offering of vegetables or foliage; neither is it an offering of a fish or a whale’s tooth or a family heirloom; rather it is one’s Word!. . . One’s word is the ho`okupu of choice!” Wise words.” This wonderful information Source is a Quote by Leilehua Yuen Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi / Shooting Date/Time 01 Pepeluali (February) 2009 16:52:26 / Tv( Shutter Speed ) 1/200 / Av( Aperture Value ) 9.0 / ISO Speed 100 / Lens EF28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM / Focal Length 28.0 mm

Standing Elk, The New Moon, And Venus by Arla M. Ruggles
According to some Native traditions, the Elk symbolizes endurance or stamina. Bull Elk is a powerfully masculine spirit. The New Moon and Venus in this position are symbolic of the High Priestess in the Tarot deck. The most potent of feminine portents. They seem to me a perfect combination of male-female balance and harmony. / In my interpretation, the placement of Venus between (above, yet behind) the antlers of Standing Elk represents fertility. The Moon, in virtually all traditions is a representation of romantic love …. New Moon, a glowing bowl to hold the abundance of Creation. The marriage of Earth and Heaven.
