This artist and photographer was accidentally discovered by me today. I have never seen such clarity in a photo before. I love the angle and the colours especially in the sky. Spectacular!
COSTA MAYA, MEXICO
My good friend, Mark Baker had some down time to go and relax in Mexico with his wife, Janet. I really love beach scenes, so serene.

Sweet young love found underneath the Autumn leaves.
Two young lovers found solace together in the embracement
of a first love's kiss.

She comes forth soaring like the wind with her tail and mane dancing like flames in fire. Her breath is constant and strong with speed and momentum. He spirit is undeniable for she knows she
is prized above the rest.
She can not be tamed for she was born free. Her beauty is beyond words. She is that invisible and untouchable breeze, captured in a moments time by Eduardo Amorim, the Master Gaucho and Horse Whisperer.

The horse will be ridden by it's master. It's master will ride it's horse. Powerful and strong, I can feel every muscle in the horse as it charges ahead with so much momentum.

You, too, have come where the dim tides are hurled
Upon the wharves of sorrow, and heard ring
The bell that calls us on; the sweet far thing.

A rose
Rose’s rose rose
In the light of the day
While the wind blows
Round its flowers of the lightest rosé.
Rose’s rose rose
In a way Rose may
When she grows
As her rose
Shows
How it grows
And by the end of the day
When her rose’s flowers’d close
And its head would sway
In the wind, Rose would say:
“My rose, as you rose
In the light of the day
Did you notice those,
The sounds of your stay?
Not only those of the day,
But, too, the ones of the dark, rose,
The ones of the dark and the moon in its pose.
Did you notice those, rose?
Did you notice those? ”
And the rose would know
What Rose would want to say
And it would sleep
With its flowers of the lightest rosé.

To Eduardo Amorim,
"We and the cosmos are one. The cosmos is a vast body, of which we are still parts. The sun is a great heart whose tremors run through our smallest veins. The moon is a great gleaming nerve-centre from which we quiver forever. Who knows the power that Saturn has over us or Venus? But it is a vital power, rippling exquisitely through us all the time. Now all this is literally true, as men knew in the great past, and as they will know again."

Men need visual stimulation to process their emotions and thoughts.
Women need emotion and unconditional love to feel secure which makes them feel beautiful.

El niño
This is my reason I rise in the morning and sleep in the evening; children. Children are my life as a mother and as a professional. They are our future leaders, they are our gift from God; Makanamaikalani.
Children come into this world with a clean slate like a chalkboard and it is their parents that write upon their chalkboard. What they learn in their first 6 years of life stays with them through adulthood.
My love for children is so great that I am a magnet when I am in a public place and there are children around, even babies, infants, toddlers, and teenagers. They look directly at me and smile, saying "Hello" in their own way. It is a gift and a blessing from God to have such a strong connection, no words are needed. Love is unconditional and it is universal therefore, it is understood.

Pais, padres, fathers...
Fathers are wonderful people Too little understood,
And we do not sing their praises
As often as we should.
For, somehow, Father seems to be
The man who pays the bills,
While Mother binds up little hurts
And nurses all our ills.
And Father struggles daily
To live up to "his image"
As protector and provider
And "hero of the scrimmage".
And perhaps that is the reason
We sometimes get the notion,
That Fathers are not subject
To the thing we call emotion,
But if you look inside Dad's heart,
Where no one else can see
You'll find he's sentimental
And as "soft" as he can be.
But he's so busy every day
In the grueling race of life,
He leaves the sentimental stuff
To his partner and his wife.
But Fathers are just wonderful
In a million different ways,
And they merit loving compliments
And accolades of praise,
For the only reason Dad aspires
To fortune and success
Is to make the family proud of him
And to bring them happiness.
And like Our Heavenly Father,
He's a guardian and a guide,
Someone that we can count on
To be always on our side.

Its lovliness increases; it will never
Pass into nothingness; but still will keep
A bower quiet for us, and a sleep
Full of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet breathing."
