Our Hearts...



I stand and watch the rising sun in the east, color the clouds of the North Shore, every year at this time I stand here and cannot believe how Waimea Bay, Oahu, rages during winter... I met my first wild and free bottle nose dolphin right here in ...the middle of this picture. As free as can be he, popped up in front of me.. "HI" .. I never heard him coming.. never saw a dorsal fin, he just was there. Looking into the eyes of the " other intelligent" creature who, has made their appearance to you, of their own accord is life changing.. I cannot explain to you what is in those eyes.. but I know they are more knowledgeable than I ... I wait expectantly for the waters of the bay to calm, to return to solid blue..I have come to understand that our heart beat sends out electrical impulses.. it is those impulses I think the dolphins sonars pick up and identify us by. Leave your boats and your kyaks and your boards on shore.. slip into the water, let the ocean and her creatures learn ur heartbeat.. I look forward to seeing in a short 2 months, if again, the beating of my heart calls to the dolphins, wild and free.....

I'm still quite happy enjoying summer, but I'm sure you can't wait for winter to leave so that you can get back in the water.

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!

They swam by me at mach speed swimming into the bay.. they turned around and passed me again checking out my orange swimsuit. I dont think they like it...LOL... It was good to see them.. they played tag with me for awhile, back and forth, back and forth.
