Photo by Kort Duce An old tree lies fallen along St. Vrain Creek in Longmont, Colorado. This horizontal color photograph offers a close-up view of the tree trunk, showcasing its weathered rings. The wood is cracked and dried, with fissures radiating from the left-center and spreading irregularly across the surface. Faded green paint or remnants of copper tree treatment add unexpected splashes of color. The composition evokes the feeling of nature’s own abstract artwork.

Photo by Kort Duce A great blue heron perches near the top of a mature tree as a spring storm rolls through Longmont, Colorado. In this vertical black-and-white photograph, a budding tree rises from the bottom to near the top of the frame. In the upper right quadrant, the heron roosts facing the camera, its head turned to the left. The scene is silhouetted against shifting light and dark clouds as the storm moves through.

It is #FlyDay.

In this horizontal black-and-white photograph, the heron passes close by from right to left. Its left wing and the rear of its body, including the legs, are cropped out of the frame. The wings are in a downward stroke, and the head plumes trail in motion. The background is softly rippled pond water.

Photo by Kort Duce A black-capped chickadee clings to the bark at the entrance of its nest cavity along St. Vrain Creek in Longmont, Colorado. In this vertical color photograph, the bird faces left, a small bit of wood pulp clinging to the tip of its beak. The background is a softly blurred tree trunk from the same tree, adding texture without distraction. A pair of chickadees is actively excavating the nest, removing decaying wood with their beaks and flying off to discard the pulp—a behavior that helps reduce the risk of attracting predators.

Photo by Kort Duce An osprey catches a fish at Sandpiper Pond in St. Vrain State Park, Longmont, Colorado. In this vertical color photograph, the bird is backlit as it flies away with a trout clutched in its left talon. The fish, measuring roughly 12 to 18 inches, hangs beneath the osprey as it beats its wings. Water droplets scatter through the air, flung off as the bird shakes mid-flight to shed excess water. The background reveals the opposing shoreline, softly blurred in muted greens and earthy tones. An overcast morning sky glows with filtered sunlight, adding a subtle, luminous quality to the scene.
