While walking through the dark jungle, beams of light often break through and highlight the tiny details. In this case, I noticed a single drop of tree sap.

Spotting the small things
I sat on a rock looking for tiny things to photograph on the beach. The color and texture of this shell caught my eye eventually. Shooting macro is a joy!
Deep in the weeds
I usually take my camera to the jungle or beach without a plan. Today I photographed anything I found interesting. This was my favorite image of the trip.
Sunrise hermit crab
I had an early morning walk along the beach at Asan, finding this little guy (and many of his companions) just as the best light of the morning arrived.
My new favorite place
We've hiked in the Fonte River area for several years, only recently discovering these beautiful falls below the dam. There are rock walls on both sides.
Bright light and shadow
Photographing a sunset can be challenging. There's too much light in the background and very little in the foreground. So, we find interesting shadows.
Finally finding an image
I walked past this scene in the jungle many times before attempting an image. There is a lot of chaos in the frame, but I think the beauty is also obvious.
Injured Yellow bittern
This juvenile Yellow bittern had apparently fallen from the nest. He limped around in front of my telephoto lens a while before finding a place to hide.
Malvastrum coromandelianum
I searched for the name of this flower for several days. There were hundreds along the trail to Pågat Cave one day and almost none two days later.
