This particular section of the Mahogany forest in Piti is littered with snail shells. Most are sun-bleached and partially buried in the dark brown soil.

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.
World War II historical sites
This M4 Sherman tank is one of the more photographed relics from the World War II era on Guam. I just visited the site for the first time a few months ago.
Recently fallen
The jungle floor is covered in leaf litter. I usually search for color and contrast within the various shades of brown. Yesterday I found some in Piti.
In jungle shadows
A dark section of jungle on the Sella River leads to bright, sunny Sella Bay. Its contrast makes this area beautiful and exceedingly difficult to photograph.
Rock and red dirt
In the red, eroded badlands behind Leo Palace, you'll also find this light-colored rock. The stain of the red soil is exposed when the rocks crack and break.
Waiting for the moment
I struggled to capture the beauty of this February evening at Adelup. Pressing the shutter repeatedly, I tried to freeze the gentle waves and reflected light.
Reviewing old favorites
I returned several days in a row to photograph this juvenile Yellow bittern fallen from the nest. This was my favorite image from the October 2021 session.
Sphagneticola trilobata
I found this trailing daisy wrapped tightly around a fallen tree in Umatac this afternoon. Their contrasting colors and textures quickly caught my attention.
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.
