Toxic Waters

http://www.kitv.com/health/26507228/detail.html



You, my readers all know of the beach i call "Heaven".... it has been violated in the worst possible way imaginable.







I am so glad i had the opportunity to introduce you to this little beach...

I am so upset i can barely write this..



I don't know if i will ever be able to enter the water here again.. I am so glad i have pictures...


Must it come down to only pictures to KNOW what we had? Or can we as humans LEARN to LOVE and care for Planet Earth!










Till I take my last breath I will encourage everyone I meet to PLEASE live with great Love for our Planet!!





In this place that I Love........ i am an island gal......

when was the last time u were at Maui? Maui's water is not as nice as it should be... the hotel we stayed in had runoff water from the sewer going straight into the waters near the hotel's surf... the water was murky... Hawaii isn;t the same.,,

This is a crying shame. And the fact that council only wants to shift the blame and doesn't do something to clean it up is even worse. I feel for you.

Don't worry. Both you and the beach will be back. Nature has an amazing ability to cope and repair.

What happened? Was it the rains? Maui is having some severe problems with brown water from the rains. I feel so bad, it can't be good for the ocean.

The Splash

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...

Spring .. Let the Waiting Begin.

I was standing in the sun but soon those dark clouds were over me dumping rain so cold it sent scores of people flying up the beach for shelter. And so it is here in Hawaii, its called duck in and duck out...rain one minute, sun the next. Winter is not quite ready to leave us on land. BUT.... The Ocean tells a different story! The water is warmer than the rain, and she is clearing up. The snow storms under water are becoming lighter and as you can see the BLUE is incredible! My goal again this year as in the past 3 years is to get dolphin pictures right where this turtle is! Wish me luck, this is very shallow water. oh, but the pictures would be magnificent would they not? The dolphins will be here soon, passing the Bay and at times entering the Bay in joyous harmony...I am delighted .... Let the waiting begin!
