Unusual Image Of Two Friends Rigging Up For A Beautiful Tampa Bay Florida Sailing Saturday Past A Palm Tree “Umbrella” – IMRAN™

It’s a windy but humid Saturday on Tampa Bay. Through my living room windows I saw two guys setting up their vessel to go sailing.

The strong wind was whipping the palm fronds wildly. I crouched at the window sill to take this shot. It took about a dozen clicks before I got one without the plants blocking part of the view.

Good Dogs: German Shepherd Dogs Kennedy & K2 Discipline & Self Control At Open Door Early Morning – IMRAN™ Kennedy my precious rescued German Shepherd Dog is on the left in this picture. He was about 5-7 years old & had been with me 2 years when I took this unedited photo on a Monday morning exactly 3 years ago today. (I’m writing these words on May 17, 2024). K2, the rambunctious non-stop playful puppy, on the right was just 15 months old. He was already getting as tall as Kennedy. But he also was learning to emulate Kennedy. They would both jump into action if anyone tried to intrude on the home. But, both showed their German Shepherd Dog self-control and discipline – even when the doors were wide open. Despite strangers and other dogs walking by the cul de sac, you see their watchful interest but not needing to be tied up or leashed to stay put. © 2021-2024 IMRAN™ #IMRAN #GSD #WhiteHouse #HomeSweetHome #dogs #GermanShepherds #Kennedy #BestDogEver #morning #Monday #Florida #ApolloBeach #discipline #memories

The food this weekend was almost as wonderful to look at as my beautiful young companion. She only had a light salad while I savored one of my perennial favorites, Sashimi Deluxe.

Boats & Ships Pass Breathtaking Tampa Bay Florida Dusk At Apollo Beach Home – IMRAN™

Boats & Ships Pass Breathtaking Tampa Bay Florida Dusk At Apollo Beach Home

 
Boats & Ships Pass Breathtaking Tampa Bay Florida Dusk At Apollo Beach Home – IMRAN™
I have not flown my DJI Phantom 4 drone in a long time. But I did manage to do so tonight. I did not get a chance to transfer the images to the computer yet but wanted to post one from the many unpublished ones.
This was from just two months after I had bought the drone in 2016. It was an evening a few days after the 4th of July 2016.
A lit-up boat crosses Tampa Bay towards Apollo Beach, while a ship leaving the Port of Tampa goes in the other direction in the distance.
Magnificent dusk spans the sky as I capture the scene from the drone a few feet above the water. No editing, no filters, no processing at all. Just nature’s magic at Maghreb time.

Orion Crosses The Pre-Dawn Sky Above My Home, As The World Turns – IMRAN™

Orion Crosses The Pre-Dawn Sky Above My Home, As The World Turns – IMRAN™
One of the many magics of the universe that I do not get enough time to savor, study, and share is simply the stunning sky right above our very heads. This was a nearly 4-hours timelapse from about 2-6 AM. 
I captured it with the Nikon D850 pointed to the South as Orion crossed the sky above my blessed home in Apollo Beach, Florida. Even here the light pollution from Saint Petersburg to the right makes it harder to see the stars on that side. 
It was interesting to see the pre-pre-dawn light breaking over the western sky start to flash to the left of the screen at about 5:30 AM. They were not house lights. 
Maybe they were sky angel cops chasing Orion around the universe, flashing red and blue, early in the morning. No matter what light you favor in the elections, red or blue, I am hopeful for the rise of a new dawn, of hope, justice, decency, democracy, and love.

Quick clip from the iPhone from K2’s first week with me. Yes, I know, I have not even uploaded all the cutest videos from April yet. This one was as much to share the sunset and boating scene with you as to show these two beautiful German Shepherds who enjoy these with me.

Where The Heck Is Hope Hicks? – IMRAN™

It was almost a month ago that she tested positive for… something. And since then, no news of her recovering, working from quarantine, being in a coma, or pregnant with orange demon sperm.

Where The Heck Is Hope Hicks? – IMRAN™
Unless Trump somehow got Hope Hicks pregnant and has sent her into hiding, am I somehow missing any mention of her in the news?

It was almost a month ago that she tested positive for… something. And since then, no news of her recovering, working from quarantine, being in a coma, or pregnant with orange demon sperm.

Wishing all the traitor-enabling sycophants ill does not mean wishing them dead. But it would be interesting to see if someone that close to Dr. Death Drumpf croaked from the ‘hoax’ virus that was going from 15 cases to zero as he claimed in February.

Now the MilkMan Pence is going to take the fall as the head of the coronavirus task force has 5 people in his circle test positive with the disease.

What pre-existing condition would Trump accuse Hope Hicks of having… treasonitis? Sycophancilitis? Syphillis?

Bring On The End Of (Dark) Days, Let’s Reach For These (Bright) Stars – IMRAN™

What an amazing time to be alive… despite CoronaVirus, and Dark Days Of Drumpf Nazism, and fascism inspired religious-bigotry-coated hate-mongering. Check out this amazing discovery, predicted by a scientist 40 years ago, made now by two private citizen stargazers.

Bring On The End Of (Dark) Days, Let’s Reach For These (Bright) Stars – IMRAN™
What an amazing time to be alive… despite CoronaVirus, and Dark Days Of Drumpf Nazism, and fascism-inspired religious-bigotry-coated hate-mongering. Check out this amazing discovery, predicted by a scientist 40 years ago, made now by two private citizen stargazers.
Two stars that rotate around each other every 36 hours or so… Talk about zipping through space… But what is more incredible is how one of the stars, not a small rock, or comet, but an actual star, is a shape-shifter, likely responding to the attraction (gravity, in this case, nothing romantic or sexual, at least that I know of!) of the other.
What more will we be blessed to see discovered in our lifetimes? Assuming ignorant fools blowing off the threat of pandemics, or even bigger morons trying to hasten an “end of days”, don’t get us all killed. Vile power-grabbers or merely under-educated intellectually-challenged ones, spreading ignorance ad spewing hatred, instead of working together to solve world problems. But news like this shows us that we shall endure.
Fortunately, there are many more people from all nations and all races, all creeds and all religions, working hard to ensure that we, as a race, the human race, not black, brown, white, yellow, purple, or any other color races, but as the single united human race, not only make this the greatest planet ever created by the Big Bang (and by the even bigger creator of bangs somewhere even further out there!) but even reach beyond the stars… to boldly go where no (hu)man has gone before.
Now that is something all human hearts should pulse for, just like this newly discovered star. What do you think?
