    Crest of Curiosity

    Here’s an image for tufted titmouse (Baeolophus bicolor) lovers. It kind of reminds me of a little guy in a uniform, standing with his hands behind his back, watching a parade go by. I said “guy,” but honestly I have no idea—tufted titmice aren’t sexually dimorphic, so this one could just as easily be a she.

    Tufted titmice are a favorite among a select group of bird enthusiasts. To celebrate these charming creatures, I’ve curated a special collection dedicated entirely to them in my photo gallery. Take a look!

    "The bird stands perched on a metal surface dotted with round holes, its tiny feet gripping the cool steel as if it owns the moment. It’s a tufted titmouse—small, alert, and full of personality. A soft gray crest rises from its head like a tiny windswept plume, giving it a look of perpetual curiosity. Its eyes are dark and bright, the kind that seem to take in everything at once.

The feathers along its back and wings are a gentle gray-brown, blending smoothly into a pale gray chest. Just beneath, near the tail, a warm wash of yellow glows like a hidden ember—subtle but unmistakably alive. The bird’s posture is upright and attentive, as though it has paused mid-adventure to survey its world.

Behind it, the background melts into a soft blur of earthy tones, making the titmouse appear even sharper, almost luminous. Every feather is crisp, every detail clear, capturing that fleeting moment when a wild creature sits still long enough to be truly seen." - Microsoft Copilot

                Here he is Gerald the ruby throated hummingbird (Archilochus colubris).

                Step into a world where even the smallest moments—like the glint in a bird's eye—tell their own story.

                swede1952-photographs.pixels.c

                "A ruby‑throated hummingbird hangs in mid‑air, suspended on nothing but the blur of its own wings. Its tiny body is angled slightly forward, as if leaning into the air itself. The feathers on its back and head shimmer with iridescent greens — a metallic glow that shifts with the light, like polished emerald. Beneath that brilliance, its underside is soft and pale, a clean white that makes the colors above it seem even more intense.

At the center of the bird’s throat burns a vivid patch of red — the signature ruby that catches the eye immediately. It looks almost like a tiny flame, glowing against the white chest and green crown. The wings are a haze of motion, blurred into soft gray arcs that frame the bird without ever resolving into solid shapes. You can almost hear the faint, rapid hum of their beating.

The background is a wash of muted greens and browns, blurred enough that the hummingbird stands out sharply, as if lit from within. The whole scene feels like a moment caught between heartbeats — a creature so small and fast that seeing it clearly feels like a gift." - Microsoft Copilot

                                                These started as drawings, finished in alcohol inks. But those inks faded lightning fast! I've repainted them in Golden Brand Acrylics...These will last! And will go in my upcoming exhibition.

                                                Get prints that are based on the original drawings. They are collaged, but just as fun as these!

Its body is a rich, warm yellow—so bright it seems almost lit from within. The feathers on its chest and belly are smooth and luminous, while faint reddish streaks run downward like delicate brush marks. The head carries a soft olive tint, subtle enough that it only deepens the bird’s golden tone rather than dulling it.

The warbler is perched on a textured tree branch mottled with pale lichen and patches of peeling bark. The bark’s roughness contrasts with the bird’s sleek plumage, making the warbler appear even more delicate. Its posture is alert but calm: body angled slightly forward, tail relaxed, wings folded neatly along its sides. The beak is thin and pointed, perfectly proportioned for a small insect‑gleaning songbird. Its eye is dark and round, catching a glint of light that gives the impression of curiosity or gentle awareness.

Behind the bird, the sky is a clear, soft blue—smooth and unfussy—allowing the warbler’s vivid color to stand out as the unmistakable focal point. The overall feeling is one of brightness, stillness, and the quiet beauty of a tiny creature pausing in the open air." - Microsoft Copilot
