Hawaiian Rodeo

I read somewhere awhile back that many many years ago the King of Spain gave King Kamehameha a gift of a horse. After a while Kamehameha sent the King of Spain a message saying," This horse is not so good, it eats more than it works!!" BUT the horse was here on the island to stay. I was on the way home from the beach and I saw a whole bunch of horse trailers at a local ranch , so i stopped . It was High School kids rodeo. These kids where good. I'm sure King Kamehameha would of been impressed !!!

Returning Home

It is time for me to return to the North Shore full time. It is at Waimea Bay on the North Shore of Oahu, that I sit and wait for the tell tale ripples of water that signal the DOLPINS have arrived! The water calming down from the massive winter waves that just a few weeks ago pounded this side of the island, i return to her shores full time with glee! I will be subjected to the teasing of the regulars at the Bay who jokingly say, "Wheres the dolphins, Lani?" I always say in my mind, "There are far worse places I would need to wait!" LOLOL. This weekend the Bay gave a sneak performance of how magnificent her waters will be! Clear beautiful water, clean beautiful sand, the sun creating stain glass window like patterns on the sandy sea floor. And if that isn't enough the days of spring and summer on the North shore of Oahu, end with sunsets that are just magic!
