HAPPY FEET

I saw the color purple on the reef. But this deep purple was part red.









I walked over to get a closer look and was delighted to see a seaweed growing that i havent seen in 7 years.





This red seaweed looks like a tiny little fern.. and it is as SOFT as velvet!









My daughter and i found this seaweed growing in a cave years ago and I have been looking for it ever since!







I sat down softly on the reef.. stretched my legs out and rested my feet gently on the plant...




HAPPY FEET!












LOLOL... i am an island gal........

I too used to see more of that seaweed than I do now. We have a spot like your top photo of this post where the water rushes out and we ride it like a water slide at an amusement park. I used to ride it more back when the soft seaweed protected me, now I get scratched by the rocks when I ride it.

For sure the earth does grow many a thing mankind still does not know, if ever.
Haven't seen anything alike before. Hope that the current vulcano explosion and the resulting cloud of dust and stones won't reach that far to affect.
Please have a wonderful start into the new week.

I am always amazed at the wide veriety of sea weed that washes up on the beaches. But it is even better to see them growing on rocks and in the sea. Like Barry said, Simple pleasures.

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!
