Kealia Pond National Wildlife Wetlands & Bird Sanctuary, Maui (Nov 14)

Took a week-long trip to Maui. We had a lot of time to kill before getting into our condo was ready for the week so we drove out to Lahaina and back.

The Nov. 14 photos are from when Mike had to answer a work call so when he stpulled off at the edge of the road, I jumped out to snap a few shots by the ponds where the road goes west from Kihei toward Lahaina. This area is the home to the stilt which remained too far away to get a good photograph. It is a bird that only lives in this area, so I'm sorry I missed snapping one. I saw them even closer up in Kahului, before I found out that they were rare, so I missed that opportunity.

On our last evening we stopped across the road at the area where they are restoring native plants along another pond and the beach. The water was up across the road. I'm adding those photos to this group since it was the same area.

Seem very similar to Blues in my mainland garden, but half as big.

Closer color match, but slightly pinker flowers than main photo for this plant. Between road and bird sanctuary.

Small metallic bee on yellow composite, at Five Graves, a small cemetery that gave its name to a dive site between Makena and Wailea on Maui.
