It was one of those experiences you only get after being in one place for a while.
We were walking along Kam Highway at dawn a couple of days ago, near the corner of Puakenikeni Road and the spot where we step down from the highway to the beach. There were a couple of people on the old seawall, also watching the sunrise.
As we passed, one turned and approached.
She introduced herself and her daughter, soon to be leaving for a teaching job in Texas, she said.
And then she said that a decade ago, they were in the same spot at dawn on the last day of the year, and were included in one of my Kaaawa online photo galleries.
So I took a picture of them, and then went looking for the older photo. It didn’t take long to find it, taken December 31, 2005, and posted on January 2, 2006.
So here are the photos.

Don’t you love moments like this?
p.s. They must have been taking a few “going away” pics themselves–the daughter seems to have a super nice DSLR!
