Swede’s Photographs

Good morning. 😶‍🌫️⏰☕

9 April 2025

Yesterday, my wife finished planting her garden after working on it for a few days. It's a raised garden built atop an older, existing raised garden. The setup includes four individually enclosed areas, each with neatly planted rows, all within a raised space protected by a low, rabbit-proof wire fence. She truly outdid herself, adding gravel and paver walkways between the planting areas for an extra touch of perfection. I’m duly impressed—I could never have accomplished something like that. Her vision for this project is incredible, and it’s not something I possess. Apparently, though, I still have some usefulness, as I managed to lift and move the heavy bags of soil and gravel to the garden. Afterward, she kindly suggested I take a seat, so I shuffled off to the patio like the knuckle-dragging helper that I am.

Light Among Shadows This image features a dramatic sky where light and shadow play harmoniously. At the heart of the composition is a large, golden cloud, glowing warmly as sunlight filters through it. Surrounding it, darker clouds create an atmospheric contrast, enhancing the depth and intensity of the scene. Above, the sky's deep blue adds to the beauty and tranquility captured in the image.

Good morning. 💮💮💮

Isn’t it fascinating how humans have a natural talent for aiming and throwing? Of course, some people are better at it than others. I can sit here at my desk and effortlessly toss a piece of paper into my wastepaper basket—and I usually make it in. Did I play basketball, you ask? Well, I did as a child, but my skills were never refined enough to leave even the smallest mark on the sport. My granddaughter, on the other hand, plays on her college team as a three-point specialist. Just think about the incredible skills that takes—gauging distance and location, then applying just the right amount of force at the perfect angle to send the ball soaring through the hoop.

Bright Blossom in Darkness "The image showcases a stunning striped Barbados Lily (Hippeastrum), with its elegant, delicately curved petals. The petals are primarily white with soft greenish-yellow tones near the center and subtle striped patterns adding texture. The flower's stamens are prominent, adorned with yellow anthers, making the central features of the lily stand out beautifully. Against the dark backdrop, the lily's intricate details and vibrant hues appear even more captivating. The signature "© Swede's Photographs" is visible in the bottom right corner." - Copilot

Good morning. 🦆🦆🦆

7 April 2025

Here’s a thought: for every inaction, there seems to be an equal and opposite inaction. Take my home security system, for example. For a couple of weeks now, it has been alerting me that a break-glass sensor needs a new battery. The replacement battery? I’ve had it all along. In fact, if I glance over my left shoulder, I can see it sitting on the corner of my other desk with three of its companions. My failure to spend five minutes replacing the battery has resulted in precisely nothing happening. Well, except for the security company calling to upsell me on new equipment—a generous offer I politely declined. What they didn’t offer, of course, was to replace the battery themselves. Maybe today’s the day I’ll finally take care of it.

"The image showcases a peaceful scene with five ducks swimming in a calm lake. They are mostly in a line, heading directly towards the camera. The lake's surface reflects soft golden and blue hues, suggesting a serene time of day, possibly early morning or late afternoon. The background reveals a green shoreline, emphasizing a tranquil, natural setting. In the bottom left corner, the text "© Swede's Photographs" appears." - Copilot
