A day a the beach

This mornings drive of about 15 minutes along the coast from Hanauma Bay nature preserve through Halona Beach which locals still call the place From Here to Eternity after a movie filmed here in the 50's, a stormy love scene rolling on the beach here.
A little further down the road is a Japanese fishing shrine, with an honored Quan Yin, as protector of the sea.
Then just around that corner the water turns shades of emerald green and lovely sandy beaches, where i find a spot not too far from a life guard stand and pitch my umbrella, spread my towel and dive in for a good swim and then lay on the earth and absorb the warmth and be lulled by the sound of the waves, as if it were the great mother earth saying "everything is as it should be, just rest, let go, be comforted".
Ahhh, I have had few sweet days like this and then there are the time's when she is a bit moody, like one day I walked in and the undertow knocked me off my feet.
