Morning Beauty

The early mornings and the Ocean are priceless. There is only one picture in this video I made that was taken at sunset.. The rest......... morning beauties!!






I often sing this song while swiiming... I have had the gulf oil spill on my mind constantly.. Is my need for oil more important than the beautiful blue of the sea?






The song plays again after the pictures stop.. i think i goofed=0D






I am an island gal.............in this place that i love.

The Hawaiian music is so relaxing and hauntingly beautiful. I should download a couple of Hawaiian songs to play on my pc.

Hmmm, Nai, its not your need but the greed of oil companies- forever trying to expand ... hey they did the same in Santa Barbara!. years ago and after the drilling stopped, it took years for that oil to go away from the shores... in fact there are still remnants and only the die hards know to keep those alcohol-wipes w/them.. the beach restrooms use to have dispensers and they may still have them.

The video was amazing, Naialai. Haunting, as Firefly pointed out.

I love IZ.

I think the Gulf catastrophe is on all of our minds. Our lovely oceans, with all of the inhabitants so important to everyone in danger for oil. It's something we all need to search our souls and decided if it's worth the devastation being wreaked on our planet.

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...

Swims with Scissors

The weather here on Oahu has been yucky for the last week so I was surprised yesterday the 15th to see that the breezes had returned , the sky was blue and when i checked the surf report the waves on the North shore had calmed way down. 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...
