This is something I meant to post while we were in Hawaii. I took these photos about 12 hours after the tsunami hit Hawaii. You'll have to look pretty closely to see the difference, but in the top one, the reef is exposed like in an extreme low tide, and in the lower one, the water is all the way up the beach like a high tide. But I took the pictures 10 minutes apart. The first time I saw it happen, I reached down to grab Drake and run, but a surfer playing a ukulele stopped me and said "no, it's cool...I've been watching it all day".
It occurred to me just now how silly it is that I believe everything's cool when it's coming from some stoned strumming surfer, yet when the Hawaiian government tells us we're safe, we run for high ground.
Hmmmmmm........
Anyway, surfer dude was right; the tide went in and out on a 20 minute cycle all day. Very strange.
