A Colorful Gradient of Homegrown Cherry Tomatoes Postcard

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.

That the Surf Scoters of White Rock Pier are habituated to the presence of humans is a bit of an understatement. This handsome and tame drake was one of hundreds of these large black seaducks who routinely passed under the boardwalk during a crisp but sunny morning visit in early November 2019, giving great bird's eye views of that colorful and comically oversized schnoz that the ladies of his kind have found so fascinating for so long.

A vigilant juvenile Anna's hummingbird keeps watch in one of our backyard fruit trees, vigorously guarding flower and nectar feeder against the (feathered) competition. Not even an extra-long camera lens can keep this little bruiser away. Photographed in late May 2018.

Mid-summer is the time of the season for lilies, and these delightfully pink Oriental lilies amazed me with their large size, abundance, and delicate beauty. Photographed in early August 2017 at a private garden.

Elegant Pink Oriental Lilies Postcard

I was privy to a very special moment in late May 2016 when I saw this Greater Sandhill Crane father, a veteran parent, searching for wood bugs with his 3-day-old colt. It's hard to believe that such a small creature could grow up into one of the largest bird species found in Metro Vancouver!

It’s not every day that you see big blue fir cones in Vancouver. The abies koreana is an endangered fir found in the mountains of South Korea. This is one of (at least) three such trees planted on the grounds of the UBC Botanical Garden. Photographed in July 2016.

Big Blue Korean Fir Cones Postcard

I could not ask for a better pose from this Wood Duck. For some reason, the profile of this drake makes me think that he's got a Velo helmet built onto his head. The Wood Ducks don't wait to be tossed seed -- they help themselves to the squirrel proof feeders located throughout the refuge.

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

Green-Winged Teals are the smallest dabbling ducks in North America, and they are generally found in larger numbers during fall and winter in Metro Vancouver. Though tiny compared to other ducks, they can hold their own. While the females are unremarkable except for their green speculums, the males sport a striking green eyestripe and cinnamon brown head.

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

This male Eclectus Parrot has rockstar tendencies, and tends to be loud and given to overacting when he wants your attention. A colourful personality with equally colourful "fowl" language.

"The Green Orator" Eclectus Parrot Mug

Add a touch of nature to the bathroom with this wildlife-themed bath mat!  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 daintily picking its way through the heavily pebbled shoreline. Photographed on a very sunny and busy winter afternoon at Boundary Bay Regional Park.

Add a touch of nature to your wheels with this customizable wildlife-themed bumper sticker! 

Normally, I’d prefer not to show photos with cages, but it’s less distracting in the case of this subject because of my distance from both it and the bars. This Golden Eagle is being rehabilitated at the Orphaned Wildlife Rehabilitation Society (O.W.L.) for eventual release back into the wild.

Add a touch of feline to your apparel with this cat-themed top! 

You'd never guess, from her playful and youthful manner, that Stella is actually 10 to 12 years older than she looks! This indoor sweetie is as likely to cuddle up to the laps of strangers as she is to those of her regular pair of humans, but she knows how to puts her paw down as far as dogs (especially big dogs) are concerned.
