Daily Postcard: Great Blue Heron Visits Española Farm
Daily Postcard: A Great Blue Heron visits a farm Sunday in the beautiful Española Valley. Whether poised at a river bend or cruising the coastline with slow, deep wingbeats, the Great Blue Heron is a majestic sight. This stately heron with its subtle blue-gray plumage often stands motionless as it scans for prey or wades belly deep with long, deliberate steps. They may move slowly, but Great Blue Herons can strike like lightning to grab a fish or snap up a gopher. In flight, look for this widespread heron’s tucked-in neck and long legs trailing out behind.

Posts From The Road: Seeing More In Less…
Wide Open Spaces: This photo was made in the panhandle of Texas. While the panhandle does have several unique features, it also has a lot of wide open spaces. This is ranch land which is not very picturesque but I believe the photo works because of the great contrast between the greens and browns of the land and the beautiful blue skies. There is a windmill seen on the horizon in the center of the photo and the simple arrangement of the few puffy clouds creates a pleasing scene. Photo by Gary Warren/ladailypost.com
