I look for unusual features, anomalies, textures, and contrast as I walk along the beach with my camera. Sometimes I find them all in a single scene.

Deborah and I spent part of a recent day off walking to the old Hila’an village site near Tumon. I stopped to photograph this unusual piece of driftwood.

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.

We spent part of Labor Day in the Emerald Valley near Piti. The landscape has changed since Typhoon Mawar came and went. Now this tree stands alone.

This was our first time at this location and the visit didn't last long. Dark clouds lingered just outside the frame and soon released heavy rain on us.

A strange half-circle of light and clouds appeared in the distance at Apaca Point. It left a faint glow on the bay during an otherwise dreary afternoon.
