Winter Waves on the North Shore, the Ocean literally roars .... I have come to understand through the years that Mother Nature lives with great love.... these big waves clean the reefs and the shoreline of the North Shore Oahu, come summer we will step into water clean and cleared in love by Mother Nature.... First two shots taken yesterday, 1-4-16.. Winter North Shore, Oahu... 3rd shot..... North Shore, Oahu... summer 2015..... Its all about the love.....

January 1st 2016...... May you find in this year 2016............. ........ The Honor , The Beauty , The Gift, of being Human on Planet Earth..... This blog is now 8 years old.... this year I would like to take you in a new direction..... but do not despair... .... I am still....... ......an island gal.....

There is more than just pretty sights to see out here.....        I ventured out here as an escape.... but what ....                    I gained thru the years is a deep deep sense of gratitude....  grateful that i can see this sunset....        Grateful for the creatures of this amazing planet Earth....     and deeply grateful for the place i live..... I am a grateful Island gal............

Way down there in the blue blue ocean... a lone rider on a beautiful wave.... the rider? my son....               The love of the ocean.... a tradition that continues into the next generation.....   We are Island........  Hawaiians....... 

One of my favorite things about the shoreline is the people I meet.  I have run into this child of the sea several times on my shoreline journeys and each time it has been a delight.... His name is Clark Little,  and he loves the ocean.... the ocean loves him... I watched him one morning, early, charm another child of the sea... A Hawaiian green Sea turtle... It was a fabulous morning....I watched in awe and sheer delight...  I will leave this link in case you wonder who I'm talking about.... http://clarklittlephotography.com/ To many many people he is a photog extraordinaire....to my turtle friends and myself, he is more... he is a Child of the Sea....

 Its so hot the turtles wild and free, don't stay on shore long....  Its so hot, the water is delightful  Its sooo hot , the sunsets blazing.... Its so hot i sit only inches way from the water.... my turtles friends close by... (those dark spots, turtles) Its very hot here on Oahu..... and very very beautiful......

I walk the shorelines of Oahu.... I pick up trash off the shorelines that I walk.... and sometimes.... I stop and see the most AMAZING things.... A very large turtle was coming out of the ocean to sun bath( turtle on the right).... another turtle already lay there (turtle on the left).... The turtle coming out of the ocean (turtle on the right), started up the sand to the left of the turtle already sleeping on the sand.... All of a sudden the turtle coming out of the water,(Turtle on the right) changes his mind and takes a sharp right.....   .. and plants himself next to his main squeeze, the turtle already laying on the sand.......  together there they form a heart....  all this in a walk on the shoreline...on one day.....  A Tale of Two Turtles....
