Nothing says "you complete me" or "your better/other half" than these whimsical, wildlife-themed lovers' mugs, which feature a pair of Wood Ducks. 

One of several pairs of resident Wood Ducks who call Burnaby Lake Regional Park, home. This sprawling 3 km wildlife habitat hosts the largest concentrations of Wood Ducks found in British Columbia throughout the year, plus a lively diversity of resident migratory songbird and waterfowl species. Black bear, bobcat, painted turtles, Douglas squirrels, and beavers may also be found here.

A Beautiful Pair of Wood Ducks at the Pond Coffee Mug Set

Nothing says "you complete me" or "your better/other half" than these whimsical, wildlife-themed lovers' mugs.

Diminutive Bufflehead ducks tend to be a challenge to photograph since they keep their distance, but there's always one in the flock (usually, a male) who takes his patrol duty very seriously. Catching the colours of his iridescent head is always a real treat.

The first swallows to arrive just before spring, and the last ones to leave in the fall, Barn Swallows are a familiar sight in the marshes, mudflats, and wildlife habitats of Metro Vancouver. They are also the most cosmopolitan of swallows, with a range that encompasses more continents and land than any other swallow species. They are rarely still for a moment, and more often seen flying low over grass or high in the skies, catching food for the next generation before returning to winter in Central and South America.

Barn Swallows Coffee Mug Set

Nothing says "you complete me" or "your better/other half" than these whimsical, wildlife-themed lovers' mugs. Eclectus Parrots are an instant hit, wherever you see them. While the males are (understandably, and expectedly), brightly coloured, with green plumage and candy-corn yellow beak, the females are just as colourful, with their striking red and cobalt blue feathers.

Anna's Hummingbirds are year round residents in the Pacific Northwest. Up to six visit our backyard regularly. The territorial adult males develop those scintillating, hot pink balaclavas that stretch from crown to throat, while the females develop much smaller gorgets around their necks.

Anna's Hummingbird on the Scarlet Trumpetvine Coffee Mug Set

Nothing says "you complete me" or "your better/other half" than these whimsical, wildlife-themed lovers' mugs.

This is my second visit to Surrey's Elgin Heritage Park, and I really wished to see a Golden-Crowned Kinglet again, my first photos of it on a deciduous tree being nothing but blurs.

My wish was granted with one of several accomplished singers in a giant fir tree, a high-energy, multi-tasking (being able to sing, and flit from branch to branch while hunting for insects) Golden-Crowned Kinglet, who nevertheless proved to be a challenging subject to capture.

Arizona Sun Blanketflowers Postcard

The Red-Breasted Nuthatches who patronize the backyard are all business when it comes to procuring sunflower seeds (although they may linger on the suet feeder). They are even quicker to dash and dine (or dash and cache) than the Black-Capped Chickadees, so it is extremely rare to see the former even perched on a branch for any length of time.

Red-Breasted Nuthatch Songbird on Branch Postcard

Bring a bit of nature with you, wherever you go, with this wildlife-themed tote! 

This male Tree Swallow appears to be quite taken with this particular nestbox ... that look says "mine, all mine." Photographed in late March 2016. These small bluebirds have shown up almost a month later than last year, and the initial flocks are much smaller, too. Also absent at this time are the greyer females, which at the same time last year were already here. Nevertheless, it's still a wonderful experience to see these little birds in action over the water and in the skies.

Tree Swallow Songbird in Nestbox Tote Bag

Celebrate nature with these wildlife-themed sticky notes, which features one of North America's most striking birds of spring.

My second encounter with a male Mountain Bluebird. We are gifted, albeit very briefly, with the presence of these beautiful songbirds at the start of the spring season before they head to higher ground to breed. Those stunning cerulean colors stand out on a dreary landscape, even from a distance. When he wasn't busy diving for insects on the local beach, he was highpointing it on driftwood and stalks of dessicated tansy. Photographed at Boundary Bay Regional Park in early spring 2017.

Add a touch of nature to the living room or bedroom with this wildlife-themed throw! The perfect gift idea for hummingbird lovers!

Our resident adult male Anna's hummingbird has never let me photograph him at close range, but on one evening in late May 2016, he came to sit on one of the old plum tree branches, just a few feet away from me. 

Perhaps, after seeing how comfortable the four visiting Rufous hummingbirds were around me, he probably figured that there wasn't anything scary about me -- and that I might even afford him some protection from the little hellraisers. So rather than being on the receiving end of his metallic scratchy or tick-tick-tick calls, he stared for a few moments into my lens, and then went to feed from the nectar feeder before making a much less frenzied exit than was his usual style.

WWN Stunning Anna's Hummingbird on the Plum Tree

Add a touch of nature to your tumbler with this floral-themed design!

These purple Cineraria flowers provide a dazzling (and welcome) burst of color for early spring gardens. Although these African natives and members of the daily family are self-seeding perennials, I call them "Goldilocks flowers", because they require a very specific amount of rain, sunshine, and temperature to thrive.
