Nature's fireworks 🌸✨
The Flat-crown Albizia (Albizia adianthifolia) a tree native to East and Central African forests. Each bloom is a perfect starburst of silk stamens: white at the base, deepening to rose-purple at the tips. No petals. Just pure botanical drama.
Spotted in Kigali, Rwanda 📍

Earth Day looks different depending on where you're standing. I've stood in a lot of places. Oregon waterfalls, Okinawa coral reefs, and Rwandan forest canopy. Three continents. One planet worth protecting. 🌍 #EarthDay2026 #photography

Magenta orchids photographed in Kigali, Rwanda. 🌺
Shot with a Nikon D7200 and 105mm macro lens. If you look closely, a tiny ant is sheltering on one of the central buds. A happy accident that makes the image.

Plumbago in bloom in Kigali, Rwanda. These are a common sight around the city, easy to walk past. Up close, the fine veining and sticky calyxes make them worth a second look.
Shot with a Nikon D7200 and a Micro Nikkor 105mm 1:2.8. Natural light, late afternoon. 🌿

Stillness between the waves at the Kadena Seawall in Okinawa, Japan. Concrete sentinels rise from the sea as the sky churns above.

🎡 Night spins in Okinawa.
The Ferris wheel at Mihama American Village is turning in a blur of color, its circles echoing in the reflections below. I leaned into motion, long exposure transforming light into something almost painterly.
