Unexpected Places


The water you see here is fresh water. The amazing thing about it is....









IT sits right on the edge of the ocean !! During the summer the ocean calms down, the big waves leave and this pool fills with pure fresh water. As kids we used to rinse off the salt water after our summer swims. Its freezing cold and tastes AMAZING.

The water bubbles up from deep artisian wells, and flows with sparkling wonder from under the lava rocks onto the sand!!! If we truly believe that there is an order to the universe then we can count on the fact that in our lives the sweetest things can come from the most unexpected places !!

This sounds like a spot from some fantasy story. A fresh water spring only accessable at certain times. Ver cool.

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!
