The trail that follows the Fonte River downstream comes to a more abrupt end these days due to fallen trees. This cascade is just above the final stretch.

Guam is a wonderful place to live and explore. I document my life and exploration here with a digital camera. And I shoot nearly every day.
What you don’t see
This overgrown portion of the trail to Fonte Dam isn't used any more. The trail is almost completely washed out where I am standing to take the photo.
Waterfall experiments
I was experimenting with a slow shutter speeds at Tarzan Falls and found a place where color, texture, and water movement met in just the way I'd hoped.
Over the edge
It was one of those unusual days in the jungle when conditions were just right for mushrooms. This is one of several I found alongside the Fonte River.
Mount Jumullong Manglo
This is the natural stopping point on the Mount Lamlam hike. It is 1,283 feet above sea level. Continue to the highest peak on Guam and reach 1,332 feet.
Time to start over
This Orange-and-black Pear Spider's web crossed the trail blocking my path forward. When I pulled it down I made sure she landed safely on this leaf.
Caught in the flow
Fallen from the canopy above, this leaf is caught in a crack on the smooth rocks of the Fonte River. It seems every moment to struggle for its release.
Beauty in decay
Dead trees litter the jungle floor. They add to the chaos of each scene, but may also become focal points in the midst of their live counterparts.
Shooting with a classic
Several months ago I purchased a Minolta macro lens for my Sony system. It was produced sometime between 1986 and 1993. It still works beautifully!
