Pelican Glide

This is a soft focused image of a American White Pelican (Pelecanus erythrorhynchos) that I was while crossing the Calcasieu Ship Channel in Cameron Parish, Louisiana. The crossing is via a ferry.

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:

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.

Swede’s Photographs

Retired soldier, I spent about 30 years in the military (USMC/Army).  Also recently retired computer systems engineer.  So, I'm just plain retired.  I need something to do so, I decided on photography and bird watching as a hobby.  Unless otherwise stated, all photographs I post are my own.

I take pictures and want to share them with you, so please follow my blog.

Buddies

Here are a sanderling (Calidris alba) and a ruddy turnstone (Arenaria interpres), seemingly working together to comb the beach for prey that the tide has washed onto the beach.

Nah, my doctor provides me with a copy of my lab results and explains them to me. I understand why she suggests the things she does. No pressure though.


Good morning. 🎆🎇🧨

4 July 2024

It is Independence Day in the USA. It is a day of barbeques and fireworks. I have a nice grill, but I haven't really used it in a long time. Interesting story, I went through considerable trouble to get the grill a few years ago, I had big plans for the grill. Soon after I purchased the grill, my doctor decided that I shouldn't eat meat ... what!  Well, I went full on vegan for a while, it did completely take though, my plumbing didn't work right. Humans are Omnivores after all. So, I settled into a routine of eating mostly vegetables and minimal amounts of animal protein, avoiding red meat. I'm not certain why red meat is bad, but she's the doc.
