Mango Mystery
Solved! I confirmed my guess on Google.
Liloa Street view (oceanside) There are 50 to 100 of these trees. We should call the property an orchard. Now that I recognize them…I spotted over a dozen mango trees in yards on Halama Street.

Harder than it looks
Stand up paddle boarding! Think of standing on moving water (with a large thick board between you and water). Core strength and balance are required.
Mom’s floppy hat was in the surf a half a dozen times. Give her an award for persistence.
Pinky got beginner experience kneeling. Low center of gravity helps!
Home team makes it look easy.

Sea turtles
Top view
Maui Ocean Center has adolescent sea turtles they are raising to release in the ocean.
Bottom view or side view of the tank for sea turtles at Maui Ocean Center
This photo is complicated due to reflections of people, seating and the sign…adding interest?

Maui Ocean Center @ Maalaea Harbor
Excellent opportunity to see marine life below the surface….without getting wet! Also, a great way to learn the names of species you may have seen snorkeling or diving.
Coral

Kihei town view
Look at the water’s edge
From Maalaea Harbor, Kihei town is on the horizon at the base of Haleakala. Kihei hugs over three miles of the coast.
