The Rainbow and the Turtle

On Sunday the waves were back with a vengeance . I waited till the afternoon, got into my little beachmobile and headed North








It really doesn't matter the weather on the North Side of Oahu.




The beauty is always there.



















The sunset that evening in front of me and behind me.. just beautiful...































But it is what the sun did to this picture that is the most amazing.. my camera , the sun, sand and sea.. threw a rainbow over this turtle and the rock she was sitting by. that's not her shell, that's a rainbow!!! I am forever grateful for this magnificent planet!












I am an island gal....

Your sunsets are like sunsets on a paradise island... oh yes, you do live on a paradise island. And you and your turtles. You are the turtle lady, although I like Island Girl better.

What an amazing photo to the turtle with the rainbow shell.

And the waves coming into the beach are beautiful beyond description.

Lani..Just near your cover shot is a cave or really an indent where part of the cliff caved in. Have you ever crawled down to it ? Some interesting coral sometimes gets washed in....Boy, do I miss those times...especially when I look out at the snow and 15 degree chill factor..Ugh !

These photos are almost too beautiful to be real. The one of the sun setting over the ocean is my favourite. Thanks.

Thank you A Human.. if you click on it to make it bigger then set it as background some are really nice. I had my camera on the wrong focus so the sunset ones may be fuzzy=0I My camera and I sometimes dont quite get along LOLOL

Hi Leilani, I love the new look of your blog, but where have all that lovely music gone to? I miss it.

Please also let me know how you did the Celine Dion/Andrea Boccelli recording with your photos or was it prerecorded somewhere else?

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!

They swam by me at mach speed swimming into the bay.. they turned around and passed me again checking out my orange swimsuit. I dont think they like it...LOL... It was good to see them.. they played tag with me for awhile, back and forth, back and forth. Finally exhausted i hauled myself out of the water and watched as they came close to shore , if i would of stayed in the water i would of got some major pics. I was just too tired,they are much much better swimmers than i am... lol...till next time.... I am an island gal.......
