Watch another "routine" spectacular Florida sunset unfold over Tampa Bay. As Friday after Thanksgiving came to an end, I shot this quick timelapse with the Nikon D850 just as the sun was setting. Sun down, tempo up, the clouds sped up -- as did the number of boats that went past my lens on this holiday weekend.

Man's Best Friend Jr. Goes For ManGoes - IMRAN™
A quick video through the kitchen sliding door to the pool deck. I was looking at K2, my then 9-weeks old German Shepherd puppy, having a grand time eating a sweet mango. Mango is the king of all fruits, especially if you ever get to eat a genuine Pakistani mango of any of the many incredible varieties there. Kennedy was nearby and had already had his piece.

Where The Heck Is Hope Hicks? - IMRAN™
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?

Dogs Are A Man(Go)'s Best Friends - IMRAN™
Dogs Are A Man(Go)'s Best Friends - IMRAN™
Having been born and raised in Pakistan, but having traveled the world, I know that the mangoes from Punjab in Pakistan are literally the kings of all fruits from anywhere on the planet. Knowing that how could I not introduce my precious new German Shepherd puppy K2 to that fruit? Kennedy had previously had it while being with me. As you can see, K2 was totally into it, when he had been with me one week. The wet doggy bed is from his having been in the swimming pool earlier. Kennedy and K2 both enjoyed their first tastes. Both decided that German Shepherd Dogs Are A Man(Go)'s Best Friends.

Red Hot Memories Of Heavenly Blue Views At Harbour Island, Eleuthera, Bahamas, Caribbean, At Romantic Getaway Spot - IMRAN™
Red Hot Memories Of Heavenly Blue Views At Harbour Island, Eleuthera, Bahamas, Caribbean, At Romantic Getaway Spot - IMRAN™ (PG13 text)
A low-resolution video taken in 2007, this has poor quality compared to what we see these days even in cell phones. But it is still enough to show the heavenly views of the Caribbean facing East at the beautiful Coral Sands resort in Eleuthera, Bahamas. The sand there is literally powder soft and pure pink.
One of my then beloved girlfriends loved to travel as much as I did. This was one of the great trips she took us on.
Of the primary colors RGB (red-green-blue), Red was the one that seemed totally absent in this scene. But that is where I come in to add color to life and love.
We made some remarkable red hot deep and intense memories as I had her desire more and more at this spot. The balcony wide open to see and to the sea, glass windows all around, sounds of other couples nearby, the ordinary balcony chair in that instant became a precious loveseat.
A throne for a precious princess to ride to glory oblivious to what public mores against public amore might demand. And that was when the purest passionate pleasures came in unison...
I still recall seeing the blue sea and blue sky in her penetrating blue eyes as she melted in a puddle of desire. What a magical moment, leaving our mark wherever we went and came.
It is interesting how people come and go from our lives. That girl is an ex-GF for more than a dozen years but the memories are always to be cherished for a lifetime. Ironically, this is also where I met and became friends with Suzette who is here on FB and a beloved beautiful friend even today.

Orient Point NY Ferry Ride To New London CT 10 Years Ago - IMRAN™
Among the over 150,000 digital photos and videos I have not had a chance to post, this was a good one to share literally 10 years (and 3 days) after I first recorded it. The iPhone 4 video was recorded during one of my favorite 'boat rides' -- the ferry ride from Orient Point, Long Island, New York, to New London, Connecticut, on my way to Boston, Massachusetts, as I was doing frequently back in late 2010. Enjoy the 2010 video with my 2020 music track, Be/Coming Breathless.

Incredible Inspirational Ideas Terrific Timelapse Tampa Bay Boating Beautiful Sunset Scene Shared - IMRAN™ (Inspiration Words, Music Video)
I hope you enjoy this music video The horizon was a little more darkly cloudy than I would have preferred for it to be a long drawn out colors sunset and dusk. But who am I to complain when the result is still so much to be grateful for. This is a timelapse video made from literally almost 2000 individual photos taken by the Nikon D850. Each image was 25-30 MB so that would have taken forever to process. I just wanted to test how the results would be, so I actually made this from images just 5-10% of the original size.

Sparring K2 Takes On Kennedy On Dock At Home - IMRAN™
Sparring K2 Takes On Kennedy On Dock At Home - IMRAN™
This year is effectively over. Despite all the craziness, it has flown by. I am still catching up on posting the cite videos and photos of K2. Here he is exactly 9 weeks old. He has known Kennedy a full week, and just like since Day 1, he loves play-fighting. He is taking on Kennedy, my loving and wise older, and at that time much bigger, German Shepherd Dog in a sparring and wrestling match on the dock of my blessed home, where I was watching a sunset and saying my Maghreb prayers and offering gratitude to the Almighty for everything. Enjoy K2's antics, Kennedy's plays, and the joy that having a puppy and a beautiful dog guarantees.

Week-1 9-Weeks Old K2 On Windy Dock Tampa Bay Florida - IMRAN™
Week-1 9-Weeks Old K2 On Windy Dock - IMRAN™ K2 was going to turn nine weeks old the next day when we spent some time on the dock on Tampa Bay on a cloudy and very windy evening. I did reduce the noise level - but not to zero so that you can hear his sounds talking to Kennedy. Check how observant he is of passing boats, as well as how confident playing with the much larger, older, but very patient German Shepherd Dog, Kennedy. © 2020 IMRAN™

Driveway Palm Tree Reflections Overlay Tampa Bay As You See Rays Of A Beautiful Boat Passing By My Home - IMRAN™
Even on a mostly cloudy day as it was on this mid-spring afternoon, when I recorded this video, the light from the window above the front door still causes a major reflection in the window on the back overlooking Tampa Bay. So you can see palm tree reflections from the driveway and street overlay the beautiful boating and yachting scene.

2 Days Away & Amazing Double Dog Welcome Home, Priceless! IMRAN™
2 Days Away & Amazing Double Dog Welcome Home, Priceless! - IMRAN™
I am sure you will love this story and the video. In earlier episodes of K2's new life story with Kennedy and me in Florida, I had mentioned how literally 2 days after we got home, I had to leave unexpectedly to deal with an emergency. My lovely neighbors and their sweet kids had taken care of both German Shepherds during that time.
When I got back home I had gone inside not knowing that the dogs were apparently downstairs at the garage level. They had apparently felt more at home at, well..., home. After a short while, I had seen the kids across the street and asked them from the front door where my dogs were. They said they were downstairs. We decided to do a little surprise for the dogs as they had not realized I was home upstairs.
I stood to the side of the house while one of the sweet young girls opened the door, while her older sister made the video. Just check out the reactions of Kennedy.
I have had him 14 months. He is used to my being away when I drop him at his favorite dog-host Emily's and her family's home. Last year I had even gone away for nearly 3 weeks during my trip to Pakistan and Kennedy had been happy but completely calm when I picked him up. He NEVER jumps on anyone.
But this time he had sensed that I had gone away somehow differently. This was his reaction after my being away just 2 days even though he had been super-chill every time I came back after even 3 weeks. You can literally see and hear him reprimand me for my absence. What is fun to also watch is how even K2 gets into the mood.
The video would have been longer but my next-door neighbor saw this taking place. Instead of quietly watching the video being made, she walked over talking about the dogs, which made them turn their attention to the disturbance, and the recording was stopped.
I wish this video had been 2-3 minutes longer, but the sheer love and intelligence of these incredible creatures is nothing short of... Priceless!

Bring On The End Of (Dark) Days, Let's Reach For These (Bright) Stars - IMRAN™
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?
