A male common yellowthroat perches at a nature area in Longmont, Colorado. In this horizontal color photograph, the bird sits among the upper branches of a dead bush, positioned in the upper left quadrant with its tail slightly raised. Alert and attentive, it appears aware of the photographer’s presence. The background falls into a smooth, complete blur of mostly green foliage, accented by soft hints of yellow and deeper, darker tones that add contrast and depth. Photo by Kort Duce

A red-winged blackbird sings at one of my favorite local parks in Longmont, Colorado. In this vertical color photograph, the bird perches on a budding branch just beginning to unfurl its leaves. Positioned in the upper center of the frame and shown in left-side profile, its beak is open mid-song. Warm, late-afternoon light bathes the scene, front-lighting the bird in rich golden tones, while the background melts into a soft, creamy blur. Below the bird, a large white bokeh orb—created by a distant sign—adds a striking visual accent. Photo by Kort Duce

An American red squirrel skillfully husks a pine cone to harvest its seeds, completing the task in just minutes. In this vertical black-and-white photograph, the squirrel perches on a small broken branch, bracing a pine cone between the branch and its claws. Shown in right-side profile, its signature bushy tail arches over its back toward its head. The left side of the frame is anchored by the trunk of a ponderosa pine, while the right side fades into a softly blurred forest floor. Photo by Kort Duce

A herd of bison traverses a hillside on Horse Butte above Hebgen Lake, outside West Yellowstone, Montana. In this horizontal black-and-white photograph, a snow-covered slope fills the foreground, where three bison move in single file, following one another. Along the top of the frame, a line of coniferous trees marks the ridge. Light snow falls across the scene, and the thin snowpack reveals grasses and sparse vegetation poking through.

A great blue heron displays its striking mating colors and quiet beauty while napping in Longmont, Colorado. In this vertical color photograph, a close-up view captures the bird from its body to its head, its eyes gently closed in rest. The area around its eyes is especially vibrant, glowing with saturated blue-violet hues that intensify during mating season to attract a partner. Two elongated head plumes rise and curve away from each other like delicate antennas. The background is heavily blurred and dark, with soft hints of yellow from dried vegetation adding subtle contrast. Photo by Kort Duce

A fallen tree rests on the forest floor slowly returning to the earth in Indian Peaks Wilderness above Ward, Colorado. In this vertical black-and-white photograph, the viewer looks down on a small section of a log. Light falls off quickly along either side of the circular wood, which is angled across the frame. In the upper left, a large crack cuts through the weathered surface. Running from the lower left to the upper right are three oblong, cup-like hollows—likely where branches once grew. These cavities collect pine needles, and the center one appears to be nurturing moss or lichen. The photograph carries a quiet, dark, and contemplative mood. Photo by Kort Duce

A great blue heron catches a large rainbow trout at my favorite park in Longmont, Colorado. In this vertical black-and-white photograph, the heron fills the frame, standing in the water in a three-quarter view facing the camera. The 18- to 24-inch fish is curled in the bird’s beak, its tail whipping in a blur of motion.
