Some Things Change , Some Things Dont.

I noticed this weekend that the color of the water is changing from a blue to a light green. Maybe its because the winter water is cooler. I only noticed this in the photos, to my naked eye the water looks the same. It gives me a little clue to why maybe the dolphins do not come into the bay after Sept.













Beach dogs always amaze me. Friendly and out going they love children. This dog needed to pass some time while his owners swam laps in the bay. I watched as he picked up a stick walked over to this little gal, and dropped it in front of her. DID HE KNOW before he dropped it she was gonna pick it up and throw it? Some things dont change..... A Dog and A Child..

Thank you for this post. This week I read a post about an incident where a dog ran over a woman who was out jogging in a public place and this incident sparked a lot of comment about dogs on leashes, dogs in public places, etc. - sort of all aimed against the poor dog and it did upset me a little. Now you come with this post of the dog and the little girl and it put it all in perspective for me again. Humans and pets (even other people's pets)should be friends and should enjoy each other like they do on your beaches. Another thing that you probably would not even think about twice is how lucky you are to live in an environment where parents feel safe and secure enough to leave their daughter on the beach while taking a swim - Wow!Here in SA no parent can take that chance nowadays and that is so sad and scary. Keep on enjoying this minor paradise that you are living in.

I'm glad to see the weather still allows you to go out swimming this time of year (or doesn't it get too bad there by you)

I love your new title pic of the turtle eating on the rocks.

Hmmm I guess I don't pay enough attention. Isn't the water always blue? :-) I can be totally oblivious to some things.

I love the Maya Angelou quote.

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...
