A great blue heron catches a bluegill fish during twilight at Izaak Walton Nature Area in Longmont, Colorado. In this vertical color photograph a heron stands on a log that hovers over the water with a fish in its beak. The heron has its back to the viewer. Its head feathers flying in the air as it grapples with fish. Water droplets sprinkle throughout the air around the fish that is wiggling to escape. Water in the pond is rippling outwards from where the heron caught the fish. The foreground and background are water with the log and the heron’s legs and lower torso reflected in the water. The soft color from the remaining light is reflected in the water as well as some soft cloud cover. Photo by Kort Duce

A great blue heron perches on the fishing pier during the last rays if winter sunlight at Izaak Walton Nature Area in Longmont, Colorado. In this horizontal color photograph a heron fills the frame on the right half. It is seen in profile looking to its left. The heron’s legs are cut off in the frame. Its plumage is sticking out on its chest. Its head feathers are ruffled and sticking up. The lower one third of the frame is the pond water, which os reflecting the golden color of the cattails and dead foliage that is receiving warm sunlight. The background is truly magnificent in color. It almost looks like it is on fire. Photo by Kort Duce

A great horned owl perches on a fence post at dusk in Longmont, Colorado.

I photographed this owl and its family last summer. It was special!

A great horned owl perches on a fence post at dusk in Longmont, Colorado. In this vertical color photograph a great horned owl fills the frame from top to bottom. It is standing on a fence post. Its claws splayed out, which are really big with some talons griping the post and one hanging off in the air. The owl is facing the camera and looking right into it. Its signature big yellow eyes looking intensely at you. Its horned ears, which are actually feathers, are slightly back in a relaxed position. The background is blurred leaves from a small deciduous tree. Photo by Kort Duce

In this vertical color photograph the great blue heron is standing in water almost up to its body. Its neck is straight up, but curved. Its nictitating membrane is partially covering an eye. Its beak is slightly open with water spreading between the halves of the beak. The foreground and background are all water. Photo by Kort Duce

An immature great horned owl perches on a fence post right before dusk in Longmont, Colorado. In this vertical color photograph the owl fills most of the frame and is standing on an ornate fence post painted brown. The talons are visible. The great horned owl has mottled gray-brown plumage with a distinctive white patch on its throat and horizontal bars on its belly. The chest feathers are typically rust-colored with black markings, contributing to its overall camouflage. The owl is looking straight at the viewer. The background is bright yellow from the sun lighting up the leaves on the trees, which really adds depth and a refreshing look to this portrait of great horned owl. Photo by Kort Duce

I always love finding little gems like this in nature: prairie grass drying and curling to form a perfect circle. So dang cool.

What if instead of Cyber Monday (aka Daddy Bezos Day), we did a Support Indie Media Monday?

What are your favorite indie publications? Who are some of your favorite freelance and indie reporters and commentators?

Can we make this a thing?
