We spent New Year’s Eve out in Kaaawa, then got up early in the morning for our daily walk at dawn.

It was dark when we left our friends’ house, still dark when we got down to Kam Highway.

We moved into town more than a year ago, but Kaaawa still feels very familiar, and we see friends–canine and human–all along the walk.

But we also feel the past as we walk through the neighborhood. On some streets, we can tick off the names of all the dogs we knew through the years since we started regular morning walks 20 years ago but are now gone.

Anyway, here are a few images of the morning.

Back to substantive blogging soon.
