It was raining as we prepared to head out for our early morning walk, but it cleared, at least temporarily, and we never had to use our umbrellas.

Here are three highlights of the morning.

First, the view of Koko Head as the sun announced its appearance.

Then, in the middle, is Marlo after he enjoyed rolling in some freshly cut grass. He’s the cover dog for my first Kahala Morning Dogs calendar, and has quite a personality. I have to remember to use this picture when St. Patrick’s Day rolls around.

And the third photo was taken as we were crossing the small bridge over the stream that runs through the middle of the Waialae Beach Park.

These photos really define the several parts of our daily walk, from the sunrise through the morning dogs, and then back through the park and home.
