Capturing photographic interest in the messiness, overgrowth, and decay of the jungle is a challenge. Sometimes color and texture just appear on a tree.

Flower Crab Spider
I'm shooting natural scenes from my own backyard for iNaturalist this year. Some days (like today) I find compelling subjects on colorful backgrounds.
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.
Favorites from 2025
You’ll find me on beaches or in the jungles of Guam in my free time. I photograph small scenes that help me remember. Here are my favorites from 2025.
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!
Finding a little color
On a grey, overcast day in Piti, with brown leaf-litter covering the jungle floor, I searched for color. This tiny touch of yellow brightened my day!
What’s left of a leaf
The first tree we noticed on the way to the Sella Bay trailhead had been recently eaten by caterpillars (we think). It was worth stopping for an image.
Weather-beaten on the beach
The twisted bark of this tree on Tagachang Beach caught my attention immediately. There were but a few green leaves sprouting above its battered trunk.
An isolated young fern
Very few of these young ferns rise high enough above the others nearby to be isolated from their background. It seems this one just happened to make it.
