January 1, 2011....1-1-11











From the time the sun peeked over the horizon and thru out the day, January first two thousand eleven was a bright beautiful day!






After all the rain... after all the brown mucky water, yesterday was a welcomed sight!!



The rains turn everything green ,green, green! The return of the cooler winter tradewinds, allows the air to be clean and crisp.


It really was a beautiful day... a beautiful welcome to the year 2011.


Happy New Year from the island gal.........

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!
