Bright Sun Shiny Day

For the last 2 weeks here on Oahu , the winds have stopped. We call these winds "Tradewinds". They help to keep the islands cool. It has been really hot and the sun has been bright, bright, bright as you can see in this first picture. LOL, I found myself squinting just looking at this picture.











The good part is the water is clear this time of year and with the sun hitting full force on the water, the pictures under the water are just beautiful.







My friends tell me the dolphins were in the bay again on Friday, but i was working, so i missed them. I'm trying really hard not to complain about the 1000 turtle pictures i now have =0I.





It looks like summer is here early with bright sun shiny days, and the 92 degrees it brought with it seem not to matter if you are in the ocean.













There are places on the shoreline that you can get to only in summer. This cave at the bay is one of them. I found myself laughing with pure glee while taking this picture. The cave echoed back my laugh and I found myself falling in love with this planet all over again!

I miss the Tradewinds, but the sun and the ocean seem to get along great !









I am an island gal.....

Clueless in Boston said…
Beautiful. I would trade for some of that heat in Boston. We've been having a pretty cool, rainy, and generally dreary spring. The water looks so crystal clear.

Clueless!!! Oh i love Boston my daughter lives there! She left to go to college there and never came back home to live ..LOL Thank you so much for the pictures of Boston that my daughter sees every day. I see what she sees thru ur camera !! she works right in the middle of Boston. I visited last year and just fell in love with it. The first missionaries here in hawaii were from Boston so alot of things here in Hawaii have the Bostonian twang to it !!

The Splash

Image
The water in the Bay has calmed down enough for me to swim into the big cave at the bay. I enter the crystal clear water of a little bay that's sits within the Big bay and made my way toward the cave. The tides are still high, the ocean not quite ready for the low low tides of summer. I enter the big cave that is still partially filled with water. The tide is pushing me in and out of the cool cave like a ride at the carnival! In and out... in and out of the cave, all the while I'm trying like crazy to get a picture from the inside of the cave looking out. It was on my 20Th trip with the tide back into the cave that I heard the splash behind me. Now, for me a splash behind me causes my heart to immediately start racing. Why? well when sharks feed they have a certain tail movement that causes a splash. I hear the splash and my brain goes into overdrive, "LANI", my brain screams, "DON'T look back,just swim to shore".. i feel my legs getting weak.. "LAN...

Swims with Scissors

The weather here on Oahu has been yucky for the last week so I was surprised yesterday the 15th to see that the breezes had returned , the sky was blue and when i checked the surf report the waves on the North shore had calmed way down. I ventured down to the turtle rock i had been having so much fun at. I had seen the turtle below on my first day at the turtle rock. He had gotten snagged in fishing line and it was all over his neck, head and flippers. It so upset me I got out of the water, hurried into the bustling, little beach town of Haleiwa, to get the number to the turtle hot line here on the island. When i got home I threw a pair of first aid scissors in my beach bag and made a mental note that if I saw a turtle who was in trouble I would do the best i could to help. I am not a professional and I know that good intentions are not always enough. You have to KNOW what you are doing. I could hurt a turtle more than help it so i needed to use my head. He was at the rock yesterday an...
