There is this Tree...

The shade it provides is indescribable.... no cars are allowed back here anymore.. bet you this tree was part of the reason.. to live under this tree would be pure magic..







This tree stands over the beach i call heaven. It looks just as magnificent from in the water...as it does when I'm standing on solid ground...












Its the same any angle you look at it.. Magnificent.. I think its a Banyan tree.. although another person said monkey pod.. I stand under the tree and see the roots stretching from the branches of the tree, to the ground. I think its a Banyan tree.




and then there is the red fern seaweed growing on the rocks....





Ill tell you about that later....





Its just heaven...





i am an island gal.....

Now that is a magnificent tree and it is situated on a perfect spot. Beautiful. To be able to sit under it and look out to see.

The Splash

Image
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...

I ventured down to the turtle rock i had been having so much fun at. I had seen the turtle below on my first day at the turtle rock. He had gotten snagged in fishing line and it was all over his neck, head and flippers. It so upset me I got out of the water, hurried into the bustling, little beach town of Haleiwa, to get the number to the turtle hot line here on the island. When i got home I threw a pair of first aid scissors in my beach bag and made a mental note that if I saw a turtle who was in trouble I would do the best i could to help. I am not a professional and I know that good intentions are not always enough. You have to KNOW what you are doing. I could hurt a turtle more than help it so i needed to use my head. He was at the rock yesterday an...
