Nights In [Purple & Gold] Satin - Aerial Appreciation Stunning Sunset Dramatic Dusk - Apollo Beach, Tampa Bay, Florida - IMRAN®

As dusk darkened, new Nights in Purple and Gold Satin draped Apollo Beach, Tampa Bay, Florida — and me. In that radiant veil, the glow of my eternal gratitude burned bright, a light no night could dim. 

This is an absolutely unedited, untouched, SOOC (straight out of camera) DJI M3P drone video I captured at my blessed home on August 2, 2025.

Tampa Bay Residents Suffering From Florida Winter Weather - IMRAN™

This was the scene on a typical winter morning on Tampa Bay in February. I had not flown my DJI M3P drone in a while, and this seemed like the perfect day to do it. Notice the way we suffer such weather.... by going boating or to the beach, for example.

Dodged Dogged Double Vision Double Vision - IMRAN™

Exactly five years ago today. The forever smiling Kennedy in the back. Fast-growing K2 in front had been with us a full five weeks. He was just 13 weeks old in this photo. 

Both German Shepherds were waiting as I was bringing them a treat. They watched me take this photo of them with my own selfie reflection in the sliding door. 

The doubled title words play on there actually being a dual reflection in the double-paned glass. I had to use high contrast to avoid it looking too much like a shaky camera photo.

Magnificent Late October Tampa Bay Sunset Five Years Ago At Apollo Beach Home 360°x360° - IMRAN™

Magnificent Late October Tampa Bay Sunset Five Years Ago At Apollo Beach Home 360°x360° - IMRAN™

This perfect moment of tranquility was captured with 2GB worth of Nikon D850 handheld photos. It was autumn and the last week of October 2018 was coming up.

I took exactly 4 dozen photos as accurately as I could, trying to keep my hands steady and arms level. I did that while turning full 360 three times hoping to not move too much from the spot I started at. I wanted to catch all the details top to bottom, and all around, even though some of the edges get messed up when handheld photos are stitched. 

It is ironic that 2GB of photos must be reduced into a 5MB or so image for Facebook to accept. In the full image, especially on a large screen TV, you would see this 30,000 x 150,000 pixels image as if you were standing here next to me.

You can see my Yamaha WaveRunner jet ski, which was lost after a storm a few years later. The DJI Phantom 4 drone stood on dock ready on deck  for a sunset flight. 

A boat was passing my dock heading home. This was just four months before I would get Kennedy, my German Shepherd Dog you all know, as well as K2 a year after that.

Hurricane Decked My Dock, Bored My Boardwalk, Even At Lowest Tide Hour; But I’m Grateful - IMRAN™

Hurricane Decked My Dock, Bored My Boardwalk, Even At Lowest Tide Hour; But I’m Grateful - IMRAN ™ Even with the lowest tide time of 7:51 am, the super full moon and storm surge meant the water got higher than normal high tides. It was strong enough to be destroying my beautiful dock in front of my eyes as I watched at 8 AM. Kennedy & K2 were with ne as I inspected my home and property this morning. Six more hours before full high tide and much stronger winds coming, the dock destruction wasn’t complete yet. Luckily the wind wasn’t as destructive and fast as possible until later, or it would have been far worse. I am sure the directly hit areas fared much worse. Even with this damage, I am grateful to be so blessed, fortunate to be spared the worst of the wrath of nature.

Hurricane At Lowest Tide, Not Terrible Wind, Still Overfills Tampa Bay Apollo Beach Florida - IMRAN™

I’ve been blessed to sit through several major hurricanes at my blessed home on Tampa Bay, Florida for the last dozen years. Post neck surgery, and with two large German Shepherds, it would have been impractical to evacuate anyway as this latest one hit the state. Kennedy & K2 are curious about what’s going on. You’ve seen videos of them jumping off this empty lot on to the sand. Right now, even at lowest tide time, and without any terrible wind, the water is easily coming on to the lot. My home is taking a hit of a different kind that I’ll post later.

German Shepherd Dogs Kennedy Looking For Dolphins & 3 Months Old Puppy K2 Looking For Ways To Annoy Him - IMRAN™

German Shepherd Dogs Kennedy Looking For Dolphins & 3 Months Old Puppy K2 Looking For Ways To Annoy Him - IMRAN™

Kennedy, a GSD rescue I got in 2019, is one of those German Shepherd Dogs that should be a breed called Saint Something for his patience. K2 was a three months old puppy when I recorded this video at the dock of my blessed home on Tampa Bay, in Apollo Beach, Florida. This was a few days after my birthday last year, and only 5 weeks since K2 had found his forever family home here.

As boats go by you can see Kennedy keep an eye on them but his real interest is to wait for his dolphin buddies to show up. K2 in the meantime is getting ON Kennedy's nerves, by getting UNDER his skin AND his body to playfully bite at the larger dog's legs. 

I love how Kennedy is so gentle even when he play fights puppies, smaller dogs. His tenderness is most incredible when I have seen him approach babies in strollers and sniff but without waking up the sleeping infant. That is better than some people's kids I know. LOL

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.

Another from the early videos of K2, the GSD puppy, learning to be a German Shredder. The older but still young although wise and very chill German Shepherd Kennedy just ignores the puppy's antics.

Kennedy & K2 Chill Watching Boats On Tampa Bay & A Florida Sunset - IMRAN™

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.

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.

Cuteness Overload Warning - Vicious Puppy K2 "Attacking" Patient Playful German Shepherd Kennedy - IMRAN™ (Part 1) / (In Explore!)

Cuteness Overload Warning - Vicious Puppy K2 "Attacking" Patient Playful German Shepherd Kennedy - IMRAN™ (Part 1) / (In Explore!)

(My 91st post and the first video in Flickr Explore! Part 2 at flic.kr/p/2jKZ5q9 ) This one deserves a cuteness overload warning! Kennedy and K2 had been together for almost one week as I made this video. We had come home from a walk. It was a pleasant night so I sat on a chair to watch vicious GSD puppy K2 constantly attack poor perfectly patient and playful German Shepherd Kennedy. Some of K2's poses will make you think he is a bear. Others will remind you of Muhammad Ali, as he punches and dances, with Kennedy enjoying being his sparring partner as a parent or older brother would, although they had not even completed 7 days of being together. Kennedy is such a smart and wise dog. See how he constantly checks with me to make sure he is not overdoing anything. But he also naturally makes sure not to actually injure the puppy. What a great pair of dogs these two are.

Symphony Isles Christmas Lights Drive Home - IMRAN™

I am blessed to have a second home in this wonderful community called Symphony Isles, in a little piece of heaven called Apollo Beach, in a magical land known as Florida, in a great nation called the United States of America.
As a Muslim obviously Christmas is not a religious holiday to me (nor does it have anything to do with the birth date of Jesus Christ) but I celebrate it as a national holiday in the USA as I did in Pakistan where it was the birthday of the founder of the nation, as well as my late mother's birthday.
I just wanted to share this quiet drive home through the neighborhood with its lovely holiday lights. I sped up the playback to save time, I was not speeding. LOL.
Enjoy a drive-by viewing, and the music video, which is a track from my CD: nTrance, available on iTunes, Spotify, etc.

Spring Colors On Florida Christmas Day - IMRAN™

I just love Florida weather. To be able to walk on the beach in shorts & a T-Shirt during Christmas holidays weekend, when the Northeast is under attack by a blizzard, is such a joy.

And to see my flowers and bushes blooming in spring colors in the middle of winter is a delight.

This is a Samsung Note8 photo, shared from my iPhone.

Blessed, Beach - IMRAN™

I do not fancy myself a poet. And, though challenges remain in my life, as for most of us, the blessings that abound cannot be counted.

I could not resist tapping this out to my friends and followers from my iPhone on a (chilly) night, standing at the beach of my blessed home at Heron Pointe, New York....

Walking along the rippling waterline on my beach. Definitely not T-shirt temperature. New Moon a thin orange sliver, perched atop the horizon, wants to get cozy under the (cloud) covers - but they're nowhere to be found. Shiny stars glint in the night's cold eye, as dark skies silently hear the wind's sighs. I stand still, on my own will, humbled, as I realize again - How Blessed Am I !

Warm Thanksgiving Feeling(s) Chilling On Chilly Easy Labor Day

<object width="400" height="224" ><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="movie" value="http://www.facebook.com/v/470630746154" /><embed src="http://www.facebook.com/v/470630746154" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="400" height="224"></embed></object>

Waking up wrapped in cotton sheets, I am seeing the shimmering silky satin sheetlike sheen spread over the Great South Bay waters - at the back of the place I'm blessed to call home.

The unexpectedly cool weather is a reminder of heartwarming coming Thanksgiving, and for Thanks Giving to God. For every day of life, every moment of joy, for the amazing parents and adventure of life, for what has been and all that & those who are yet to come.

As the year hurtles towards a close, as life rushes towards an eventual end, all I can think, as tears of gratitude fill my eyes, and words of shukrana (شکرانہ) ring in my ears, for years, decades, of blessings it would take me centuries to count.

Thank you God, for letting me appreciate and unwrap every moment like a precious gift and every day like Eid (عید) & Christmas Day.

A Bad Moon Rising, Howling Wolves Still At The Door Outside. Hope Inside, Perseverance Forever

A full moon is always a sight to behold. Rising up just above the treetops to the side of my home, it showed its magical powers while the sky was not yet dark. Walking around the boardwalk in East Patchogue, and later at Bellport Dock, the beach was drowning in the passionate fury of a lunar high tide pushed on by the inspiring wind.

And the question became, was this a Bad Moon Rising, or an indication of great aspirations for the future. Only time, and the tides of time, will tell. Bad news and troubles continue to howl at my door. But I know only my faith and perseverance are the magic bullets.

PS No howling wolves were hurt in the making of this photograph.
