Dawn comes late in Hawaii—especially when you are still on Sacramento time. Luckily for me, I am an earlier riser, a very early riser. I only had to wait 2 hours before the sun began to rise.

It was well worth the wait. From the earliest light to the sun peeking over the ocean (at least I assume it did, the clouds hung right on the horizon,) required me to sit and watch the “action” for over a half an hour!! Oh, the sacrifices.

Same tree, same sand, same ocean, different time of the day.

Join me and sit for 15 seconds. It’s a great way to start the day!
