Rhythm of the Ocean...



There is a rhythm to the ocean... Tide in ... tide out... I knew if I sat for awhile in this small shoreline pond, turtles would appear.




Sure enough, soon they were there. I watched two visitors to the islands walk back and forth on the shoreline. They had no clue there were turtles right in front of them. Turtles blend in so well that many many people miss them.




I hauled myself up over the rocks and said , "HI". I saw the look on their faces.. "ot roh a LOCAL!.. we've been warned about the LOCALS"....I smiled and said," There are two turtles right over there in that pond". SQUEALS of delight burst from them!





I could still hear their delight as I left. There is a rhythm to the Ocean.....







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

Thinking of you today, Leilani. So happy the tsunami was not a bad one. Our property in Maui is fine.

I loved this post. People appreciating the turtles is very good for the turtles. They take that feeling home with them, and hopefully don't forget them when it comes time to protect our oceans.

I am worried about you and those beautiful islands. Please let me know how the tsunami affected you and I wonder if you could feel some of that huge earthquake. Oh yes, and I loved the song "Rythm of the Ocean".

Returning Home

Image
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!
