Wonderful Waiting




I guess I will have to wait for just the right time to get a shot of what i have only seen once... A turtle with a 6 foot shell.





But i have to tell you there are worse places i could be waiting!









This beach , the cleaning rock the turtles hang out at, the turtles, the fish that clean the turtles are all so beautiful !






I have to say someone is lovingly taking care of this stretch of beach on the North Shore.It is a wonderful place to sit and wait! It is just beautiful!


Lucky turtles.. living in a place where the people care!




I am an island gal...........

Suddenly your beach looks even better than ever.

Your photo of the tiny fish cleaning the turtle is amazing. Isn't nature just wonderful, taking care of itself and it's own. Now if only the humans would leave it alone and intact!

Great turtle cleaning station photo. Every time I get close, the fish run away (well, swim away).

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!
