Sunday Mornings....

Its becoming a habit.... Sunday Mornings and the Sunrise....starting at dawn..it is a majestic sight!


here's my problem....

When the sun was finally up and i could see the shoreline...

I saw PLASTIC riddled this beach.... i was upset! I grabbed my recycle bag and went to work.... now here's the kicker.... this area i am in is a very religious area... big ole tabernacle sits right down the street...

This was in my thoughts as scooped up the plastic .... Christian, Bible believing, churches believe in the creator... they say he built this planet... if sooo.. why the heck are our beaches and mountains and valleys not filled with Bible believing people taking care of this planet? I want to be around when their creator asks them, " For what reason did I build you a house? did you NOT care or respect me enough to love and care for what i built?" I wanna be there, I gotta see what the answer is.....Sunday mornings need to be more than just about church...

Its sad that more people don't feel like you. The rubbish shouldn't have to be picked up because its not supposed to be there in the first place.

Good questions. We pick up cigarette butts on our beach - every day. People sit on that beautiful beach and smoke and then just stick them in the sand. Unconscious.

Maybe if Sunday morning WERE more about church, people wouldn't be hanging out at the beach dropping their litter all over the place Sunday morning and each day there after.. Christians or non Christians..if they are littering they are wrong...I kinda think the blame is wide spread....

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...
