Testing the Macro Lens

These plants with their tiny blooms climb around and over nearly every rock on the Mangilao coast at 1,000 Steps.

The flame trees are in bloom all over the island. This one, in the hills above Hagåtña, caught my eye during a walk.

We went on a long hike this afternoon, finding these wild orchids all along the trail. It was a beautiful Guam day.

These Singapore Daisies give a little color to the rocky and grassy areas at Adelup, but are another of our invasive species.

I look for contrast and color when I am photographing. This yellowing palm frond really stood out on the green foliage.

Trying to avoid shooting at night, I stepped out the door just as the last good light of the day was moving through the trees.

I only managed to get out for a few minutes today between rain showers. I'm hoping for better Thanksgiving weather.

I had to shoot past 10pm tonight. Some of the shots of the sky and trees turned out like daylight.

There is a brand new store nearby, which has a good floral department. My wife has become a beneficiary.

I often look up at this tree. Fallen plumeria usually surround it. It sits just outside my studio window.

I took a few minutes to shoot tonight just as it started to rain, so I took cover and captured what I could in the dark.

This fox tail palm tree is not much more that 8 feet tall. I setup the camera on the ground at its base.
