Ko Olina, Oahu, Hawaii
There is a lagoon in Ko Olina and every time I go snorkeling there, we find turtles. They are so fun to swim with and they are friendly and gentle!

Polynesian Cultural Center
Laie, Oahu, Hawaii
Whenever we go to Oahu we always go to the PCC (Polynesian Cultural Center) if nothing else to support them for the great work they do! They not only share their cultures with us, they give scholarships to the students at Brigham Young University Hawaii, allowing them to work at the PCC and earn money for their education. What a great thing! Now, I haven’t even mentioned the shows, the delicious food and of course, the fantastic night show! We had a grand time!

Secret Beach
Kapolei, Oahu, Hawaii
The other day I was at ‘My Lagoon’ relaxing as I read a book. I noticed some people had followed me to ‘My Lagoon’, they stayed around for a while and then they left, but they didn’t leave the way they came. They climbed up some rocks, about 15′ high and then walked across the top of them, turned a corner and disappeared. Some time ago, I had seen some other people do this, so I decided that this time I would follow them. Up I went and carefully I walked across the rocks and as I turned the corner I was surprised at what I saw, a secret beach, (which I have since found out the locals call it) that is beautiful! Yesterday, I took my family there and for most of the time, we were the only people on this beach, it is now known to us as ‘Nonni’s Beach’. Oh, by the way the snorkeling is great!

Sea Life Park – Birds
Waimanalo, Oahu, Hawaii
There is an area at Sea Life Park where there are all types of birds, they are gorgeous with their bright colors! You can go in and feed them, take photos of them or just RELAX with them! I chose the latter and slowly sat on this bench, put my feet up and RELAXED! I got a bit nervous as a bunch of them took off because someone was coming towards us!

Sea Life Park was the perfect place to go. Their setting, close to the ocean was a perfect back drop for photos. It wasn’t too big so we were able to get to a number of their shows. My favorite was the Dolphins! I ❤️ DOLPHINS! There is something about their gentleness and grace that is so fun and cute!

Hawaiian Mountains
Stairway To Heaven
Ko’olau Mountain Range, Oahu, Hawaii
On our way to Sea Life we went thru the mountains and saw some beautiful scenery! I knew we were going to be able to see The Haiku Stairs or Stairway to Heaven, so I had my camera ready and I got a couple great shots! These stairs are a steep hiking trail with 3,922 steps, but because of damage on the stairs, they are dangerous to use and someone can receive a fine if they do so!

Peaceful
Ko Olina, Oahu, Hawaii
One of the reasons I love Hawaii so much is because there are some very peaceful places! This one, that I found a few years ago, is one of those and each morning I go there to relax and plan out my life. ‘My Lagoon’, is the kind of place we all need, a place for thinking, meditation, re-evaluating and most of all ENJOYING LIFE!

My Lagoon
Ko Olina, Oahu, Hawaii
Each morning I walk to ‘MY LAGOON’, it is a secluded lagoon that very few people know about. I am usually the only person there, where it is peaceful and gorgeous! Because most of the time I am alone I can have fun taking photos of my feet without any stares! This day I RELAXED and watched as the waves came in and I caught this one as it bounced off the rocks, sitting just under the shore line!
