flowers on the golf course ...

pink hibiscus ... and one red one ...

a lone hibiscus under some other flowers ...

pink-to-white hibiscus ... fiendishly rare (not really LOL)

I always forget the name of these ... bouganvillea?

pictures of pretty plumeria

hmm ... gotta work on the macro feature I think ...

these were kind of high up ... had to stretch to get this pic ...

an amazing sunset at adelup ...

afternoon delight ...

it was a bright (bright), bright sunshiney day ...

sporty sunset ...

(taken the same day as in the post below)

female outrigger team practicing in the boat basin ...

two guys taking a proa out for a row ...

motorized transportation as the sun goes down ...

a sequential sunset ...

That time of year thou mayst in me behold
When yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hang
Upon those boughs which shake against the cold,
Bare ruined choirs, where late the sweet birds sang.

In me thou see’st the twilight of such day
As after sunset fadeth in the west;
Which by and by black night doth take away,
Death’s second self, that seals up all in rest.

In me thou see’st the glowing of such fire,
That on the ashes of his youth doth lie,
As the deathbed whereon it must expire,
Consumed with that which it was nourished by.

This thou perceiv’st, which makes thy love more strong,
To love that well which thou must leave ere long.

— William Shakespeare —

LeoPalace blooms ....

I have no idea what these flowers are called, but they're lovely ...

A close-up photo ... such a brilliant color ...

sidewalk show ...

just some flowers around a big tree near the courthouse ...

incandescent streaks of brilliance ...

ribbons of brightness streak the sky ...

yet still another sunset in paradise ...

golf course flora ...

plumeria tree surrounded by ornamental flowers ...

the said ornamental flowers ... vibrant little clusters ...

climbing high ...

these flowers went up alongside a tree, up a fence,
and kept moving up until they got higher than the tree.

waiting for the grey line ...

have you ever seen a more beautiful bus stop?

how now, brown cow ...

taken in downtown Hagåtña ... not a one-horse town ...
... but it does have at least ONE cow ... LOL

views from slightly above ...

these photographs were taken from the top floor
of the pacific news building's parking structure

the dulce nombre de maria cathedral-basilica

the bank of guam building

sunsets on the water make me happy ...

still a little gray thanks to hazy pollution from china ...

twilight over the agana boat basin ...

closer look at the boats ... and the bridge to
the sewer treatment plant romantic, no? LOL

flowers of fire ...

this is a flame tree. when they bloom, it looks like they are on fire,
hence the name. several years back, a invading worm of some kind
almost wiped out the trees. for years, there were almost no real
blooming, just some flowers here and there. they are finally making
a comeback, with every blossoming more lush and vibrant.

east agana bay ...

the tranquil waters of east agana bay ...

a little more of the same ... great fishing spot here, by the way ...

cloudy skies nearing sunset ...

I love the way the clouds look in this shot ... with the light behind.

another look at pretty much the same shot ...

mostly missed sunset ...

incredible sunset today — the sun was giant and brilliant firey orange.
it just hung there like a giant disc of fire and heat.

and i just couldn't get to a good place to catch it clean over the ocean.
by the time I could get to a place where it would be perfect, it was down.
top photo is from skinner plaza in hagåtña. bottom from road to my house.

paseo at twilight ...

Paseo Stadium is Guam's premiere baseball field ...

These were shot from outside right field; to the left is the foul pole.

clubhouse plants ...

Photos taken at Starts Guam Golf Resort, outside the clubhouse ...

cool little red clustery flowers ...

more of the same ...

these yellow flowers just pop, they're so vividly ... yellow ...
