Tsunami Saturday

We had a Tsunami here in the Hawaiian islands on Saturday. The Ocean graciously touched us gently. No huge wall of water, just the ebb and flow of the tide......



.









After the civil defense cancelled the warning I headed west. The Ocean stood there magnificent. You could see her still churning , so I did not enter the water. Respecting the Ocean and her power is the foremost responsibility for all of us.






It was the sun that made me smile on this Tsunami Saturday, all day long the sun shone brightly, and then she set in the west as if she was throwing an all clear party!



I had to smile, ALL DAY long amidst the panic and chaos here in the island, the sun shone brilliantly! The sun after all had a Birdseye view of the tsunami and if the sun spoke its brilliance was a sign to us that all was well in the Hawaiian islands!






I am an island gal....

LOL, we were given a low grade warning... My girls live in Santa Monica area and the warning was totally off mark... 2-3 ft. waves...

Glad you are all safe. Must have been quiet a feeling to live through those hours.
Makes one wonder about the real size of humankind and of how much influence we are, should be.
A wonderful Wednesday for you all.

I imagine the surfers were all lined up waiting for some big breakers coming through. I'm glad you had no disasterous waves lashing your coast. Great sunsets to end a day of "near drama".

I had a feeling all would be well in Hawaii and it was...We can be far away in distance but close in spirit and sometimes we can sense things about the island we love.

Returning Home

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!
