Three Tables Sunset

Last night, I needed a break from midterms and Dolly needed to learn a song on the ukulele. So, we made both plans work with a ukulele session at Three Tables beach on the North Shore. It looked stormy when we left, but I said I’d already prayed about it and that it wasn’t going to rain! Ha ha! The weather ended up being perfect. Just a very slight breeze, beautiful sunset colors, and great location. I haven’t been to this beach before, and it was a good one. The grains of sand were much larger than other beaches, which made it easier to brush off.

As we walked up to the beach, I looked out into the water and saw a spray coming out from about 300 yards off shore. It seemed odd to me, and then I saw a tail, and realized I was seeing a pod of humpback whales! I didn’t even realize they existed in Oahu. I had heard they come around Maui, but I didn’t realize they perused Oahu also. It was the first time I have seen whales in the wild, and I was rather excited as you could imagine.

It ended up being a pretty fun evening!
