A Colorful Gradient of Homegrown Cherry Tomatoes Postcard

A single pink horse chestnut tree flowers in early spring at Surrey's Stewart Historic Farm, its pink and yellow flowers reaching for the sunny but cold blue skies. This hardy ornamental grants viewers beautiful splashes of color when "green growing things" are still somewhat scarce. Photographed in early April 2016.

Stunning Pink Horse Chestnut Blossoms Postcard

Such a pretty pest! I spotted this bright orange beetle on the yet-to-flower Lady's Mantle. Two more of its cohorts were also hanging around in the same vicinity. Hope they leave the asparagus plants alone! :)

Spotted Asparagus Beetle on Lady's Mantle Postcard

I witnessed a beautiful moment of friendship between these two gorgeous chestnut horses. Were they mother and child; siblings; or simply stablemates without shared blood? It didn't matter what their relationship to each other was. The importance was the now of the moment. Not even a nicker did I hear pass between them; the simple act of touching spoke volumes for both. The perfect postcard for horse lovers!

Add a touch of nature and lighthearted humor to we're moving announcements with this whimsical, cow-themed postcard! 

A very curious Holstein Friesian pauses to look at us from the Alaksen Wildlife Area as the rest of its herd (obviously responding to a cattle call of some sort) lumbers on without a backward glance. Not exactly what I expected to see while birding the Reifel Migratory Bird Sanctuary in late May 2016, but Westham Island *is* full of farms!!

Funny "We're Moo-ving!" Moving Announcement Cow Postcard

Those tiny, low-growing yellow flowers known as Creeping Gold Buttons, or Cotula Tiffindell Gold, add a touch of color to summer gardens. As drought-resistant perennials, these South African natives make superb groundcover and keep weeds at bay. Photographed in July 2016 at the UBC Botanical Gardens.

Her cobalt blue mascara never runs! Quiet as her mate is noisy, this female Eclectus Parrot surprised me even further by choosing to perch uncharacteristically close to my lens.

Beautiful "Lady in Red" Eclectus Parrot Postcard

This juvenile Bald Eagle came within 20 feet of me as it flew over my head during my walk through the local wildlife habitat on an early spring day in 2017. We locked eyes briefly (neither really daunted by the presence of the other), and then it continued to wing its way to a copse of dead trees where several others of its kind were roosting.

Trying its best to look adorable, this Eastern Grey Squirrel adopted a wishful pose for my camera in the hopes that I had food on my person. Some of my fellow humans succumbed to the collective charms of these non-natives, who were as thick as thieves at Stanley Park's Lost Lagoon on a chilly late November 2015 afternoon.

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.

Part brainteaser, part assemble-it-yourself art, this challenging, wildlife-themed puzzle is great for improving muscle memory. 

The ubiquitous peacock doesn't have a monopoly on long feathers. That honor also belongs to the males of the (much lesser-known) African songbirds of the whydah family, like this pin-tailed whydah, who boast a tail much longer than the rest of his body, and crisp black white plumage and a fire engine red bill during the breeding season.

By far, Columbian Ground Squirrels are the most entertaining wildlife at Manning Park, and the first ones to greet us in the parking lot of Manning Park Resort. These Prairie Dogs of the West were positioned near their network of holes in the ground (or in rotted tree stumps) and often calling in an upright position like meerkats or groundhogs (when they weren't chasing each other around or kissing). We found plenty at Manning Park Resort and Lightning Lake (particularly near the picnic tables). Columbian Ground Squirrels spend the short summer bulking up on fat reserves for their hibernation period, which lasts for seven months!
