Blue starfish often get stranded in the rocks at low tide. We found several as we walked along Asan beach. This is another in my Found on Beach series.

Images captured as a result of exploration in the beautiful village of Asan, Guam.
New year reflections
On the last day of 2024, I visited my favorite grotto on the Fonte River. Rather than shooting the waterfall, I concentrated on reflections in the river.
Thin-shelled rock crab molt
These common crustaceans on Guam grow and shed their old shells. I have never seen a more perfectly intact molt, which I found at Asan beach recently.
Nature and history
World war two era rusted metal and coral rock mingle together in the surf as they have since liberation. Rust has become a permanent part of this rock.
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.
Many happy returns
This little waterfall on the Fonte River has been one of our favorite places in recent years. My son and I just had the chance to visit that area again.
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.
