Note Card of the Week- Uluhe

Potential unfurling.

Uluhe in Hawaiian.

A discovery on the forest floor found in the highest altitudes of my island home.

As many are readying themselves to close one chapter and begin the next (graduate to the next level or step out into the world), this plant friend is a reminder of all that is unfolding.

This particular moment was captured on a day when the Bohemian and I took a pause from the routine. We hiked hills and beheld vast vistas. We meandered the forest and leaned closely to magnificence in minutiae. (More photos from our island excursion here, “Top of the World”).

Congratulations to all of the graduates!

May this week’s Uluhe Note Card photograph gift you the perspective of solid work accomplished, and the promise of possibility that awaits you.

Creating these cards makes me smile. Sharing them with you brings me happiness. Knowing that you may pass them on to someone you love, well, that’s just a beautiful thing.

All cards are hand-made, with care, on recycled paper.

Beautiful Attention

Though we often find beauty when we pause to look…

Jade is Back

It’s that time of year, when the Jade vine feathers down blooms from the treetop where it climbs. For those that follow the Archives, you know I’ve featured Jade flower love before. (Past posts include: “Jade Vine” and “Blue Jade Honey“).

It’s the same feeling I have with the shades of fuchsia coming off the Bougainvillea bush. I can take a picture of those rich hues and post them here to share, but there’s nothing like soaking in the colors, up close, and personal.

I wish, for just a moment, that we could transcend computer screens.  That you, too, could gaze upon these greens and blues… that delicate shade of purple…with bare eyes. But alas, these photos, frozen moments in film and screen, will have to do.
