Add a little character to the office -- or office party -- with this whimsical, wildlife-themed tie.  This was a Christmas Day filled with plenty of birds in the backyard -- including this rather introspective Black-Capped Chickadee looking skyward on the pear tree. Sunny skies and chilly temps made my puffed up and sleepy feathered friends reluctant to stir from their perches, and that led to a few opportunities for closeups of birds I normally find difficult to get stills of.

Add a little character to the office -- or office party -- with this wildlife-themed tie.  From fall through spring, one can see many different species of raptors in Metro Vancouver. I encountered this magnificent creature, an adult Peregrine Falcon, while driving through Ladner in the spring of 2015--sitting on its favourite branch, some 40-50 feet in a tree on a farm--was a truly breathtaking sight. This scion of the skies and I traded curious glances for a few precious moments, but I am certain my sense of wonder was greater.

A Serene and Beautiful Barn Owl Neck Tie

An attractive raptor with a heart-shaped facial disc, the Barn Owl is gifted with extraordinary hearing — it can even hear the heartbeats of everyone in a 30 square foot room — and silent flight, which lets it descend on and capture rats and mice with extreme stealth. As nocturnal creatures, these endowments are critical when hunting in (sometimes) complete darkness.

WWN Vignetted Profile of a Beautiful Serene Barn Owl

Add a little character to the office -- or office party -- with this whimsical, wildlife-themed tie.  Sanderlings are tiny -- and surprisingly, quite approachable -- migratory shorebirds which can be easily found on Vancouver beaches in the coldest winter months. This one was strolling quite leisurely on the shoreline. Photographed on a very sunny and busy winter afternoon at Boundary Bay Regional Park.

Beautiful, Dreamy and Serene Snowy Owl Tie

Owls are such fascinating creatures. They are front page newsmakers, drawing the interest of birders, nature lovers, and just about everyone else who has a pulse. Snowy Owls are especially charismatic; the largest owls in North America only show up in Metro Vancouver every few years, and their appearance during our winters causes crowds of admirers and fans to form and flock.

Mesmerizing Golden Eyes of a Spectacled Owl Neck Tie

My first encounter with this large and beautiful Central and South American native. Although never having met one before, somehow I knew that the bright yellow eyes, white eyebrows, and black patches around the eyes could only belong to the Spectacled Owl.

Add a little character to the office -- or office party -- with this floral-themed necktie. 

Community gardens are a wonderful place to see not just veggies and fruits, but a great variety of beautiful flowers. These beardless purple irises caught my eye at Richmond's Terra Nova Rural Park in late spring 2015.

Cute Little Northern Saw Whet Owl Neck Tie

The Northern Saw Whet Owl is one of the smallest owls native to North America, and its diminutiveness, combined with those oversized black eyes, might make you think that it is, at first glance, a plush toy!

Flamingoes aren’t naturally coloured pink or orange — they are grey or white, but thanks to a diet that’s extremely rich in betacarotene, they glow with amazing titian hues.

Show off your love of nature with this wildlife-themed pinback button that features a male Wilson's Warbler!

2017 seems to be the year of Wilson's Warblers, and our backyard has not been exempt from the presence of these small but cheery yellow warblers. The energetic black-capped males have been exploring every potted plant and fruit tree and singing their uplifting melodies. This handsome guy paused on the cherry tree just long enough for me to get him in all his golden goodness. Photographed in mid-May 2017.

Beautiful Wilson's Warbler in the Cherry Tree Pinback Button

Add a touch of nature and personality to your coffee, tea, or favourite hot drink with this floral-themed mug!

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

Add a touch of nature to the home or office with this wildlife-themed wall hanging. 

Far easier to distinguish than the Tundra Swan and Trumpeter Swan by virtue of its facial knob and bright orange bill, a Mute Swan looks into my lens as it leisurely plies the waters of Lost Lagoon at Stanley Park.

Elegant Mute Swans at Stanley Park Lagoon Canvas Print

The next best thing to having an Orange-Crowned Warbler in your backyard is having an Orange-Crowned Warbler in your backyard when the cherry tree is blooming in the springtime. Because perhaps the enticingly sweet taste of these flowers will make these small, olive-colored songbirds pause for just an instant, giving you an opportunity to capture the twin beauties of bird and blossoms. Photographed in mid-April 2017.

Orange-Crowned Warbler Amid the Cherry Blossoms

Use this whimsical, wildlife-themed trivet to protect delicate surfaces, tables, and countertops from hot pots, or as an accent piece for the dining room or kitchen.

It's always a wonderful moment when our subjects seek us out instead of the other way around! A particularly bold American Robin approaches our picnic table to stare at us -- perhaps he was hoping that we had worms or berries with us?

A Curious and Hopeful American Robin Trivet

Take a bit of nature with you, wherever you go with this whimsical, wildlife-themed drawstring backpack! 

My second visit to the Maplewood Conservation Area in North Vancouver produced meetings with not two, but six blacktail deer in a clearing ... four fawns and two does who seemed completely at ease with the small group of photographers in their midst. The younger ones seemed almost as curious about the humans as we were about them! This fawn was extremely happy to be alive, bounding in a very Bambi-esque manner through the forest! Photographed in late August 2016.

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.
