Beautiful Sunday



Rainbows out in full force on the North Shore this morning!


The water was really calm today. It took awhile for the sun to come out in full force and I got cold swimming. Once I get cold it is really hard to warm back up even in the sun. The Ocean cold goes straight to the bone but...


..Those rainbows gave way to a BEAUTIFUL Sunday!

Cold or Warm... I am an island gal... =0)

Are those raindrops on the lens int he last photo? I visited your island via Google Earth last night. It is so intersting visiting Turtle Bay and the North Shore. I saw the Hilton hotel and the golg course up there. GE is such a fun program and I love sneaking in your backdoor when you are not looking.

Years since I last saw a rainbow and since I found time to swim.

As the former blog has closed it would be an honour to see your blog-list updated with the new one:

The Splash

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...

Spring .. Let the Waiting Begin.

I was standing in the sun but soon those dark clouds were over me dumping rain so cold it sent scores of people flying up the beach for shelter. And so it is here in Hawaii, its called duck in and duck out...rain one minute, sun the next. Winter is not quite ready to leave us on land. BUT.... The Ocean tells a different story! The water is warmer than the rain, and she is clearing up. The snow storms under water are becoming lighter and as you can see the BLUE is incredible! My goal again this year as in the past 3 years is to get dolphin pictures right where this turtle is! Wish me luck, this is very shallow water. oh, but the pictures would be magnificent would they not? The dolphins will be here soon, passing the Bay and at times entering the Bay in joyous harmony...I am delighted .... Let the waiting begin!
