Kukaniloko

Kukaniloko... The Birthplace of the ALi'i (royalty)


If you google Kukaniloko you can find out all kinds of information about this spot.

THIS is WHAT really gets me.


When you are here,the first thing you notice is the Quiet. There is NOT a SOUND going on back here, other than the trees blowing in the wind.



Is the peace back here the reason the ancient Hawaiians chose this spot to give birth to Kings and Queens or is this spot so quiet because of the labor and delivery that went on here?



Can you imagine giving birth to a child on a rock? Can you imagine coming here and having to ask WHICH rock your wife was at?


Some things about progress are SO Much better! LOLOL






I am an island gal...

It looks like a place where quiet would settle in and where momentous events would happen. Like the birth of Kings and Queens.

Interesting how 'Google' has become a verb...how time has changed, wonder whether it can touch places like this.

May you all have a blessed Christmas.

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...
