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.
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.

I found this trailing daisy wrapped tightly around a fallen tree in Umatac this afternoon. Their contrasting colors and textures quickly caught my attention.
All the ingredients
Guam's jungle is chaotic and beautiful. I'm on an endless quest to minimize the chaos, while capturing the beauty. This 2023 honorable mention almost does it.

A walk by the river
As a young adult, I spent many hours in this area on the Spokane River. Today's 2023 honorable mention is from our family trip to Washington this summer.
