"COUNTRY"


The North Shore of Oahu is known as "The country".

Compared to Oahu's Waikiki it is a WHOLE
different world. I stopped for gas yesterday and this was the scene I was lookin at while pumping gas.

I love the North Shore, beautiful beaches, beautiful scenery. I had hit the beach early in the morning and was delighted by the biggest turtle I have ever seen !! He was magnificent!.... the ocean has MANY surprises !!.... I am an island girl

Lani..Looks like the turtle I saw once while snorkeling. It was the biggest one I had ever seen. He looked at me like he might want to take a bite so I didn't get any closer. Thanks again for "
taking me back home to Hawaii".

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!
