Good morning. 🏈🏈🏈9 February 2026I really enjoyed the Super Bowl last night. It’s a lot easier to relax into the game when the team you’re pulling for is in control for three straight hours, and the Seahawks absolutely were. If you didn’t watch, the final score was 29–13, Seattle. They aren’t my usual team, though. Being originally from California, I tend to root for the Rams, Giants, or Chargers. If two California teams ever met in the Super Bowl, I’d be in real trouble. This time, the Seahawks’ West Coast identity made the choice simple—proximity won out. And honestly, you have to pick a side if you want to feel the full excitement of a football game.I also loved the halftime show with Bad Bunny. The staging and visuals were fantastic. I don’t speak Spanish—though I wish I did—but it didn’t matter. Roughly 65 million people across the United States and its territories speak Spanish, which is about one in five. It’s woven into the fabric of American life.I live in Louisiana now, so you might think I’d be a Saints fan. Not quite. Still, unless they’re playing one of my California teams, I can see myself cheering for them. It’s just the local rhythm here.The truth is, I don’t really keep up with football during the season. I’m vaguely aware games are happening somewhere, and I’ll catch one when the mood strikes. But I always watch the Super Bowl, and I enjoy Thanksgiving games when I’m somewhere that actually gets TV reception. We usually spend Thanksgiving at our little house in Georgia, where we don’t get any channels at all. I’m working on fixing that.“Where we love is home — home that our feet may leave, but not our hearts.” — Oliver Wendell Holmes “To have another language is to possess a second soul.” — Charlemagne “Football is the ballet of the masses.” — Dmitri Shostakovich #photo #photography #photographer #wildlife #nature #bird #birds #birding #birdwatching #birdphotography #morning #pelicans #beach #GulfofMexico #SuperBowl #football

Pier, Ocean, and Avian SymphonyThis is a seascape captured one morning at Gulfport, Mississippi. The ocean stretches out toward a long pier in the distance, its red‑roofed gazebos standing out against the horizon. The sky is an intense, almost unreal blue, with dark clouds drifting across it. Hundreds of birds—likely black skimmers—are flying away in a great sweeping movement, some still close enough to see clearly, others already far off in the distance.For those who love skies set ablaze with color—sunsets that linger, clouds that speak in texture and light—my gallery holds a collection crafted just for you.swede1952-photographs.pixels.c#photo #photography #photographer #photographylovers #wildlife #nature #bird #birds #birding #birdwatching #birdphotography #landscape #seascape #blackskimmers #flock #sky

Good morning. 🌹🌹🌹8 February 2026I bought a little battery‑powered vacuum a couple of weeks ago, and the box is still sealed. It’s one of those high‑speed gadgets shaped like an electric drill, with a battery pack that slides into the handle. At the time, I was convinced I had a specific task in mind—something important enough to justify the purchase—but whatever that task was has long since evaporated. I could use it to clean the dust out of my computer, but that’s one of those jobs that never quite qualifies as urgent.Supposedly the thing can reverse and blow air instead of vacuuming, which might be handy. I’ve already imagined using it to blow‑dry the motorcycle after a wash, but that’s another task that doesn’t need doing anytime soon. At this rate, the vacuum may stay in the box a while longer. I should charge the batteries, but—again—not right away.Today’s plan is to go outside with Charlie and the garden wagon—the kind that flips up and dumps—and pick up the concrete residue along the edge of the new driveway I had poured a couple of months ago. To be fair, I also planned to do that yesterday. And the day before. It’s something I want to do, but not something that demands immediate action. It does need to be done before spring, though, when mowing becomes unavoidable. I’m reasonably confident I’ll get out there today.The real obstacle is lunch. I usually have a salad and iced tea and eat in my recliner while the TV is on. That recliner has a way of grabbing hold of me and insisting on a nap afterward. Time has a funny way of slipping away when the recliner gets involved.“Nothing is so fatiguing as the eternal hanging on of an uncompleted task.” — William James“Life is what happens while you are busy making other plans.” — John Lennon“Great acts are made up of small deeds.” — Lao Tzu#photo #photography #photographer #photographylovers #nature #flower #rose #procrastination
