Why the Beast?

I called her a BEAST in a past post... beautiful sunset... beast of beach.. Her reef sits inches under the waves of winter! I finally found a video that will help explain...

I want to say that I think these guys who are called the "Pipeline Posse" are crazy... I could say more but we will just leave it at "crazy".





The reef picture of the pipe was taken by pro photog Sean Davey... he is good... and he is a long time ocean man...







I am an island gal........

Once again I have not visited for a long time and I really do not understand why I do this to myself... or maybe I do. When I come back after a long absence I am always enchanted anew with your ocean, your animals and you photos. Thank you.

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!
