"The Suns Up!"

I was reminded by Mother Nature this morning just why it is I get up before the chickens and then practically beat myself up to get to the east shoreline before dawn..




Today, February 24, 2012, began with one of the most beautiful sunrises. Yes, it is still winter water here on Oahu... but this sunrise more than made up for it especially when the gulls flew by, their voices sounding like laughter, I swore I heard them gleefully say, "THE SUNS UP!"

I'm so glad I live on a west-facing shore - I don't have to get up early to watch the sunrise because there's a 10,000 foot mountain in the way (that's my excuse anyway). Thank you for letting me experience your sunrises with your spectacular photographs. Mahalo

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!
