Pacific reef heron

I watched this Pacific reef heron (Egretta sacra) hunting at Paseo today. He caught one fish...just before I set up the camera....

Today I went looking for new compositions in a familiar place. The Plaza de España is just a few minutes from home in Hagåtña....

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

We viewed the solar eclipse at the weather station today, but I wasn't prepared to photograph. So I settled for a sunset....

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

This is a colorful building in Hagåtña. I've thought about photographing here before. Captured it through a fence tonight....

After church we went to Skinner Plaza to see the lights. The kids wanted to stay up later. Tomorrow is the first day of vacation....

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

Decorations are going up all over the island. I noticed the big lighted tree on the bank tonight and decided to stop for a photo....

There is a big, new, Guam-themed light display at Skinner Plaza this year. I gather this is supposed to be a flame tree?...

I went looking for urban scenes tonight. I had a little free time, as the rest of the family was at a high school concert....

I looked for intimate landscapes this evening just before sunset, finding an interesting series of exposed tree roots....
