We returned Tuesday evening after five weeks for medical treatment in California.
We ventured out this morning to visit our favorite morning dogs and their people!
It’s the first time I had a camera in hand in that five week period, and had to remember a few things or just let muscle memory take over.
With storm and flood warnings filling the Hawaii weather forecasts for the next several days, this might be our last walk at dawn for a while.
We walked to the beach park, then got a ride with a friend to the Kahala Hotel where we joined another friend for a light breakfast. No papaya available, apparently as the result of damage to crops from the last storm.
Luckily, we did run into many of our canine friends and their people today. I was able to share some cautiously optimistic news about my medical situation and get some nice photos. The dogs didn’t seem to care. They just wanted their treats, just like normal!
Afterwards we walked the half-mile or so back home. It felt good to walk, and I’m sure every walk like this adds to my well-being, such as it is.
In any case, here come the dogs. Enjoy.
This was the first morning in nearly a month that I walked down the street to Waialae Beach Park to watch the sunrise.
Bad weather, and health issues, had kept me away.
During that interim, the sunrise has moved from about 6:44 a.m. to 6:22 a.m.
That’s what made me realize how long it has been!
In any case, I just wanted to share the morning’s photos.
One sad note for the morning. Sylvie, the beautiful Husky, was walking alone with her people this morning. I had to ask, and learned that her partner, Leila, had been diagnosed with cancer and died since we last saw them in October. Another fine dog gone.
