The Tease


We are in the middle of rough water winter here on Oahu.


So on Saturday when I saw the water i was amazed!


Flat and calm!









Although the shallow was winter cloudy..










The deeper water was breathtaking..
If the water would of been warm i would of thought i was swimming around in summer water!
The Ocean was teasing us.. the next day Sunday, the waves were back!
















I dont think i was the only one confused.. LOL there were ALOT of turtles cruising around on Saturday!










I am an island gal....

At least you know summer is coming. Soon you will be back in the water all the time again.

What a magical photography the first one, where one is able to see the beams of light...

Close to half past three in the morning over here - always a joy to "escape and dive" into your poetry of photography.

Please have a wonderful Wednesday.

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!
