Flawed Focus

I spend ALOT of time sitting and watching the water. I watch for the churn and splash of the water that tells me the dolphins are close.Sometimes keeping a constant vigil is almost impossible..Take yesterday...














My first dip in the water brought to my immediate attention the schools of fish in the Bay have grown by leaps and bounds in a matter of days.







THEN to my left, this couple who had just gotten married, climbed UP "the rock" at the Bay to have their pictures taken by a photographer. I expected all three to come tumbling down at any second, but they got thru it and came down safe and sound.












And then as if some silent alarm clock went off these boats that had been sitting peacefully in the Bay to my right UNFURLED their sails...













and took off........








ALL this just in the first HOUR i was there! Am I gonna complain about my concentration being broken ? NOPE!! ... hey, whats wrong with a little flawed focus?! LOLLLL=0)






I am an island gal...

Once I forgot my glasses while going to conduct a lesson, somehow it seems to have made me 'able to see better than ever before', as the lesson was one of the best i ever had/provided.

I am desperately in need of some quiet time to relax. It feels like my head wants to burst. If it wasn't winter down here I would probably take a day off and head down to the beach to follow your example. But on the other hand we don't have a peaceful bay as you do.

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!
