Swede’s Photographs

Good morning. 🐢🐢🐢

10 April 2025

Yesterday, I put a cover over our pergola, and I can already tell I won’t be taking it on and off throughout the year. I plan to remove it when winter returns—or perhaps sooner if a hurricane decides to make its way here this season. I’m feeling pretty proud of myself for crossing off two items from my ever-growing 'do tomorrow' list. Spring is such a wonderful time of year and my absolute favorite—it’s not too cold, not too hot. If it were a bed, it’d be the one Baby Bear finds just right. The grass is green and thriving, butterflies flutter about, and flowers are in full bloom. 'The hills are alive with the sound of music,' 🎶 or at least they would be...if we had hills.

"Behold, my friends, the spring is come; the earth has gladly received the embraces of the sun, and we shall soon see the results of their love!" - Sitting Bull

Logs, Light, and Lazy Sliders This image features seven pond slider turtles (Trachemys scripta) basking peacefully in a tranquil pond environment. Positioned on or around two partially submerged logs, their sunlit shells glisten beautifully. The logs extend outward to the right, offering an ideal resting place for the turtles. Each morning, as the sun rises, the turtles gradually emerge and climb onto the logs. At each of the two logs, one turtle remains in the water, patiently waiting to ascend. The serene backdrop, likely adorned with lush greenery and natural vegetation, perfectly encapsulates the charm of pond life.

The Crossing

This image reminded me of Emanuel Leutze's 1851 painting, 'Washington Crossing the Delaware.' However, this scene takes place on the Red River, not the Delaware. The figure perched on the edge of a log is a great egret (Ardea alba), which, in my imagination, strikingly resembles someone standing magnificently at the bow of a boat. Accompanying this grand figure is a crew of three turtles toiling behind.

Step into my photo gallery, where the elegance of nature comes alive with a majestic great egret and its loyal crew of turtles navigating a peaceful river.

"The image shows a beautiful scene of wildlife interaction. A great egret stands gracefully on a partially submerged log in a serene body of water. The egret is pristine white, with a long, elegant neck and a yellow beak, standing upright with a regal posture. To the left of the egret, three turtles are also basking on the log. The turtles vary in size, and their shells glisten in the light. The water surrounding the log is calm and reflects the light, creating a shimmering effect. In the background, there are rocks along the edge of the water, adding to the natural setting. The photograph captures a peaceful moment of coexistence between different species in their natural habitat. The photograph is signed "© Swede's Photographs" in the bottom left corner. It's a serene and harmonious scene." - Copilot
