Add a touch of nature and whimsy to the living room with this wildlife-themed lampshade! The Hooded Merganser hen in the middle looks far from impressed at the two drakes courting for her attention. She seems to be throwing the photographer the avian equivalent of a raised eyebrow ("you've got to be kidding me!") Photographed on a chilly and eventful winter birding day in early February 2015 at Boundary Bay Regional Park.

Elegant Purple Calla Lilies Tripod Lamp

Add a touch of nature to the living room with this wildlife-themed lampshade cover.  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 touch of nature and festive to the living room with this floral-themed lampshade cover.  

Poinsettias are most often associated with Christmas, and, surrounded here by cream coloured Yellow Snow poinsettias, the speckled leaves of this particular variety -- known as Shimmer Surprise Poinsettia -- add an even more festive touch to year-end holidays as a popular centerpiece.

Elegant Pink Orchids Phalaenopsis on Black Tripod Lamp

Add a touch of nature to the living room with this wildlife-themed lampshade cover.  Extremely tolerant of the long lens pointed at her from some six feet away, a female Rufous Hummingbird--a regular backyard visitor--sits on twining grape and kiwi vines in the cool of a mid-spring evening.

Add a touch of nature to every room in your home with this wildlife-themed switchplate cover! 
The perfect switchplate cover for bird lovers!

One of my favourite birds to photograph, and one of the most elusive as well. This lovely male Varied Thrush was a bit stunned but none the worse for wear after flying into a window, but he chose to take five on the cherry tree -- giving me time to capture his beauty from the upper floor sunroom, some 15 feet away.

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?

They are a natural mosquito repellent, and may also keep flower munchers like deer from the pride and joy in your garden.

Add a touch of nature to the kitchen or dining room with this whimsical, wildlife-themed sandstone coaster. 

During my second visit to Surrey's Elgin Heritage Park, my wish to see a Golden-Crowned Kinglet again was granted with the appearance of one of several accomplished singers in a giant fir tree. A diminutive but high-energy and multi-tasking bundle of energy--being able to sing, and flit from branch to branch while hunting for insects--the Golden-Crowned Kinglet nevertheless proved to be a challenging subject to capture.
