Swede’s Photographs

Wings Above the Wild

Look closely, and you'll notice three brown pelicans (Pelecanus occidentalis) in this image, framed by a backdrop that resembles a jungle island. I captured this shot while aboard a ship in the Port of Galveston, where brown pelicans were abundant. After taking numerous photographs, I spent this afternoon sifting through them and deliberately selected one devoid of manmade features to create the illusion of a prehistoric island. Just a bit of fun with photography.

This image features three magnificent brown pelicans (Pelecanus occidentalis) captured mid-flight against a lush, green backdrop. The birds' wide wingspans and synchronized motion exude grace and power, perfectly highlighting their aerial prowess. The varying shades of green in the background suggest a dense, natural environment, bringing focus to the pelicans in their natural habitat. The photograph radiates a sense of freedom and connection with nature.

Echoes of Stillness

As I look around at the treetops, I notice the delicate interplay of light and shadow. Upon closer examination, these subtle shifts often unveil birds and other wildlife. In this instance, the treetop became a temporary haven for a group of goldfinches. Though the small flock was too distant and the morning light too faint to capture much detail, I chose to present the scene in black and white—offering a vignette-style cameo of the birds.

The photographs I share here don’t appear as vivid as they do in my Pixel’s gallery. To make them load more easily, I reduce their size and slightly lower their quality. Take a look:

The image depicts a serene scene of six birds perched on the branches of a bare tree. The birds stand out as dark silhouettes against the soft gray background of the sky, creating a stark yet soothing visual effect. The composition captures the stillness and simplicity of nature, with the birds delicately arranged at various heights on the branches, offering depth and balance.

Good morning. ⛈️🌩️⚡

15 March 2025

Thunder crashed, shaking the house and jolting me from a deep sleep. It happened right at six, the time I usually wake up. Was it mere coincidence, or do gods conspire to control my days? After brushing my teeth and pulling on my trousers, I opened the bedroom door to find Ben waiting, alone. Clearly, he was frightened by the thunder, seeking the comfort and reassurance of our steadfast companionship. But where was Charlie? He almost always greets me at the bedroom door in the morning. I found him at the back door, anxiously waiting to go outside. The morning urge to relieve oneself is, after all, a biological necessity shared by both dogs and humans.

"As the dawn comes up like thunder." - Rudyard Kipling

"We can never have enough of nature. We must be refreshed by the sight of inexhaustible vigor." - Henry David Thoreau

Flight of Six The image captures a flock of six Western Cattle Egrets (Bubulcus ibis) soaring gracefully against a clear blue sky. Their wings are outstretched mid-flight, showcasing their streamlined forms and aerial elegance. The egrets are loosely arranged, with some leading slightly ahead, creating a beautiful sense of motion and freedom.

hey! I've just moved here today and i thought I'd start by introducing myself. I'm an ecologist, specialized in avian and herpetofaunal ecology. i am also very interested in the data science aspect of the discipline, and i am working on getting more familiar with the ins and outs of R programming, and hopefully moving to more conventional programming, so i can feed into my other interests.

i am also muchly into open source software, specifically Emacs and Void Linux, and in my free time, work on contributing to Void Linux packages and my Emacs config. i tend to talk about all of these things a lot.

I'm big on cats. well, basically everything about them. expect a LOT of photos.

i also play the guitar a little and I'm predominantly into loud and dark music. I do talk about the music i listen to as well, both here and on my blog articles.

i also occasionally like to indulge in woodworking, and i hope to get more active with it

i have been blogging since 2016, on and off, and recently revived my blog after a hiatus of nearly 2 years.

A burrowing owl looks disgruntled in Cape Coral, Florida, US. This is one of the few owl species that nest underground; they often take over disused burrows made by badgers, foxes or ground squirrels.
