Swede’s Photographs

Orange Gaze in the Green This is a killdeer (Charadrius vociferus) I saw during the summer. There are quite a few around here and there—they’re fascinating to watch.

Firey Sky The sky on the day I took this image was vivid at dusk—deep blue at the top, fading into red, orange, yellow, and a pale whitish gold near the horizon. The ambient light in the backyard glowed with a warm, golden hue. For those who love skies set ablaze with color—sunsets that linger, clouds that speak in texture and light—my gallery holds a collection crafted just for you.

Vertical Vigil This turned out to be a pretty sharp image of a Red-bellied Woodpecker (Melanerpes carolinus). I like how the shadow from the wood post falls across the bird’s front side—it adds a bit of quiet drama to the pose.

Tan with a Touch of Fire I don't particularly care for the way this image of a female northern cardinal (scientific name) turned out. The original was too noisy, and I couldn't quite get it all smoothed out. But I thought the way her crest kind of leans sassily to one side and wanted to share. northern cardinals and other members of the Cardinalidae family—better known as the cardinal family—step into my photo gallery for a visual feast. Come take a look:

Good morning. ☀️🌤️🌥️ 24 January 2025 A storm is coming. I mean literally—a storm is coming. In fact, I think it might already be here. It’s still above freezing where I am, but the weather app says sleet for the next hour. I don’t see it yet, not exactly, but it’s supposed to get colder as the day goes on, with precipitation throughout the afternoon and evening. Ha—yes, I meant precipitation, but sometimes I like to use the wrong word just to keep things human. Speaking of participation, I think we’re right near the southern edge of that massive system sweeping through the center of the country today. It would be nice if we opted out of the precipitation promised for today and tomorrow. The last ice storm we had was three or four years ago, and the power was out for nearly a week. We had a generator, but there was a snafu with the gas company, so getting the tank refilled was a challenge. We lost water service as well, even though we’re not on a well. Hmm. That joke didn’t land well. These days, we’re sort of prepared. We’ve got a generator and a full, larger propane tank to keep the electricity going. We go through a lot just to avoid struggling through events like this. I guess you could say we struggle not to struggle. Anyway, I don’t think non-participation is an option this time. The sky is supposed to perspire all day and all night—and then do it all over again tomorrow. Fortunately, the forecast says we won’t hit freezing until Sunday morning. That’s when the real trouble starts. “We can’t direct the wind, but we can adjust the sails.” — Dolly Parton “If you want to make God laugh, tell him about your plans.” — Woody Allen “The trouble with weather forecasting is that it’s right too often for us to ignore it and wrong too often for us to rely on it.” — Patrick Young #photo #photography #photographer #photographylovers #morning #sunset #CaribbeanSea #weather

Perched in Blue This is a Blue Grosbeak (Passerina caerulea) that visited last spring. I’m hoping they return again this year.

Mr. Ben This is my Ben during one of our walks some time ago. He was a black and tan terrier mix with the general features of a Yorkshire terrier—though larger, with floppy ears. In this photo, his face and legs are a soft tan, while his body is mostly silver-grey. He had a stubby tail, long eyebrows, and a little beard shaped by his groomer. His nose was black, and his expression, as always, was quietly attentive. My photo gallery features over 1400 carefully selected images. While most are chosen for their visual appeal, a few stand out as novelty shots. Feel free to explore my gallery at:
