Good morning. 🐟🐟🎣🎣☕☕

4 August 2025

I recall my first fishing experiences when I was a child, sitting on the bank with a pole a like and a bobber. It was fun and exciting putting a worm on a hook and pulling out a fish, usually a little blue gill. We'd go home with a batch to be fried up later. Cleaning them was a chore. Now when I think about it, I feel a tinge of guilt. I'd pretty much killed two living creatures just for fun each time I cast a line. Sure, we usually ate the fish, but the point is, I didn't go fishing because we needed food, I did it for fun. Motives matter I think, don't you?

"And now my friend we meet again We shall see which one will bend Under the strain of death's golden eyes Which one of us shall win the prize To live and which one will die 'Tis I, my friend, yes 'tis I Shall kill to live again and again To clutch the throat of sweet revenge For life is here only for the taking" —Country Joe and the Fish

Whispers in the Canopy "A quiet grove of ancient trees stands beneath a soft, overcast sky. Their gnarled branches stretch outward like open arms, heavy with long, silvery strands of Spanish moss that sway gently in the breeze. The moss hangs in delicate curtains, trailing from limb to limb like nature’s lace—soft, ghostly, and ethereal. The trees themselves are thick and weathered, their bark textured with age and memory. Light filters through the canopy in muted patches, casting a dreamlike glow on the forest floor below. The air feels still, almost reverent, as if the moss has muffled sound itself. It’s a place that seems suspended in time—haunted not by fear, but by beauty." - Copilot

Bluebird Between Worlds.

This overexposed photograph captures a bluebird perched on a powerline, bathed in light so intense it softens every detail. I love the way it looks—almost like a watercolor painting, where the bird seems to dissolve into the brightness, delicate and dreamlike.

"An eastern bluebird (Sialia sialis) perches delicately on a twisted metallic wire, suspended in a world of light. The background is so overexposed it dissolves into pure white, erasing all context and grounding—leaving only the bird and its perch floating in a dreamlike void. The bluebird’s feathers shimmer with electric blue, almost glowing against the stark brightness. Its reddish-brown chest and white throat peek through the haze, like a memory half-remembered. The bird’s head is turned slightly, as if listening to something beyond the frame. The image feels both intimate and otherworldly, as though the bird has stepped out of time and into a realm of light. The photographer’s signature, “© Swede's Photographs,” anchors the bottom right corner, the only other trace of reality." - Copilot

I've had several inquiries about how to get a print of some my photographs. This is a hobby for me, so I haven't been equipped to handle those requests. But I enjoy what I'm doing and want to share my photographs.

So, I set up an account and website with pixels. My website is:

https://swede1952-photographs.pixels.com

If you want a print of one of my photographs, you can get it there, If I haven't loaded it, let me know which one it is, and I'll gladly load it there for you.

The prices they charge for prints aren't horrible, they start at about $20 or less. But they will also do framing or canvas stretching for you, at a price of course. There are also other trinkets that they sell with photographs that you select printed on them.

Cheers!
