Swede’s Photographs

Hunter in the Air

Every year for Thanksgiving, we head east to Georgia, usually stopping midway. For the past couple of years, we’ve stayed at a hotel on the beach in Gulfport, Mississippi. The area is often teeming with various bird species. I spotted this osprey (Pandion haliaetus) there a couple of years ago. Watching them dive into the water and emerge with a fish is truly fascinating. I’ve witnessed it a few times, but I’ve never been close enough to capture a clear, detailed image.

This image features an osprey in mid-flight set against a clear, open sky. Its broad wings are fully outstretched, revealing intricate feather patterns that emphasize both its strength and grace. The bird's head is slightly tilted, showcasing its sharp eyes and unique facial markings, which give it a majestic and commanding presence. It's a striking portrayal of the osprey's power and elegance in its natural element.

Next in my Canadian 🇨🇦 province linocuts is Nova Scotia, with its provincial bird, the Osprey and its flower, the mayflower. The block was inked ‘à la poupée’ (with different colours, green, pinks, yellow and gray-brown, in different areas) and printed by hand on lovely Japanese kozo (or mulberry) paper.

The mayflower (Epigaea repens) is also known as trailing arbutus has been a symbol of the province since🧵

As described this is my linocut print in the shape of the map of Nova Scotia covered with an osprey printed in black surrounded with mayflowers against dark green, on lovely Japanese paper.
