I found this trailing daisy wrapped tightly around a fallen tree in Umatac this afternoon. Their contrasting colors and textures quickly caught my attention.

Documenting life and exploration on Guam
Back on the Fonte River
This is our first time at this location since the typhoon. On our last attempt, we turned back because of rain. Downed trees have made it a difficult hike.
Favorites from 2023
While my photography plans for 2023 were interrupted by Typhoon Mawar, I still managed to capture ten images I am happy with. Thank you for visiting!
All the ingredients
Guam's jungle is chaotic and beautiful. I'm always trying to minimize the chaos, while capturing the beauty. This 2023 honorable mention almost does it.
A single bloom
Invasive and ubiquitous on Guam, I rarely photograph Chain of Love, but this fallen bloom was situated so uniquely it became a 2023 honorable mention.
A walk by the river
As a young adult, I spent many hours in this area on the Spokane River. Today's 2023 honorable mention is from a family trip to Washington this summer.
2023 honorable mentions
I usually publish a “best of the year” post in December. Not all of my favorites can be included. This bittern is the first of my 2023 honorable mentions.
Emerald Valley lone tree
We spent part of Labor Day in the Emerald Valley near Piti. The landscape has changed since Typhoon Mawar came and went. Now this tree stands alone.
Striped sweat bee
My sister in-law's garden in Jefferson, Ohio provided a few interesting opportunities with the macro lens. I saw quite a few of these striped sweat bees.
