3 Tables


The weather above the water is gray and sunless. Its been that way for most of the week.


It is a WHOLE different story beneath the surface of the ocean.







You almost hear the coral breathing





This Blue Parrotfish ? I could HEAR his teeth hitting the coral picking off pieces of food.
The Hawaiian word for this fish is "UHU". I had to pretend I was a floating log in order to get this close to this fish ! LOL. The colors on this fish are just magnificent!










I took these pictures at a place the locals call 3 Tables. I was looking for Moray eels. BUT as it is with the Ocean, she decides WHO, WHAT, and WHEN you are going to see something! ...LOL I am an island gal......

Your underwater pics always make me want to go diving. Amazing how the sky can be dull and the underwater life still be bright and "sunny"

Good morning from Athens, Greece.
Enjoyed your photography very much, mostly because the sea here is pretty dirty.
Would love to visit such a clear sea one day, until then am glad to have found your site.

Returning Home

Image
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!
