Invite spring and family, friends, and other visitors to your home with this customizable floral-themed welcome mat, which features a stunning Mountain Bluebird perched on tansy in the springtime drizzle.

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.

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.

One of an unexpectedly large flock of 30 Buffleheads, who were swimming in a local pond at Ambleside Park in early December 2016. These seaducks were uncharacteristically bold, and venturing as far to land as a few feet away from the water's edge. More than a handful--like this handsome adult male--looked like they were expectantly waiting handouts of birdseed from the watching birders and photographers, and yet, when none was forthcoming, resumed their activities of swimming, preening, or diving for food.

It's hard not to be amazed by such beauty! I am so used to seeing Dunlins in flocks of hundreds and thousands in their non-breeding/winter plumage, that to encounter a solitary member of this sandpiper species is a bit puzzling. S/he was in full breeding regalia, and in no particular hurry to fly north for the summer.

Beautiful Dunlin Shorebird Sandpiper on the Beach Doormat

Greet family, friends, and other visitors to your home with this stunning, wildlife-themed welcome mat! which features my first encounter with American Avocets at Boundary Bay Regional Park in beautiful Tsawwassen, British Columbia. These elegant wading birds are rarely found in Canada's westernmost province, so to discover two adults spending a week there (two more joined them a week later) during the early stages of fall migration, enjoying the local amenities and completely at ease with the photographer in their midst, was a real treat. Photographed in early September 2022. Customize as desired.

The second time I've seen Dunlins since first spotting a small flock huddled together in their breeding plumage (with their trademark black belly patches), on a cold spring day on the Iona Jetty spit in 2010. Three were part of a larger group of 10-12, who were fraternizing with a larger flock of Sanderlings (60) and a single out-of-season Semipalmated Plover (not pictured here).

I am surrounded by a sea of greens and purples as I take a lavender-lined walk in the summertime at one of the largest public gardens in Metro Vancouver, BC, Canada.

Stunning Lavender-Lined Garden Walk Doormat

The handful of Canada Geese I spotted at the Boundary Bay Regional Park on December 31, 2015, were greatly outnumbered by a massive congregation of 3,000-5,000 Dunlins, a wide assortment of American Wigeons, Green-Winged Teals, Northern Pintails, and 70 Brants--but this quintet, picking their way through the floes nearer to shore for tidbits, were easier to photograph than the rest.

Beautiful Northern Harrier Hawk in the Marshes Pillar Candle

An unexpectedly close encounter with a female Northern Harrier--who is a stunning study in brown--while walking the paths of the local wildlife area in early Spring 2017. This beautiful, owl-faced bird of prey, so often seen soaring the skies, was hunkered down in the marshes -- probably waiting out her next meal, a duck who had gone to ground.

My second encounter with a family of Sandhill Cranes; the first was when this colt/chick was just a few days old. In this photo, Junior has turned a month old, and is half the height of its parents. Mom and Dad are long-term residents at the local wildlife refuge. Photographed in late June 2016.

Add a touch of nature, vibrancy, and splash of color to the living room or bedroom with this floral-themed throw pillow, which features yellow and red marigold flowers.

Marigolds aren't just eye candy; they've been used for culinary (teas, salads) and medicinal (anti-inflammatory) purposes for hundreds of years in European cultures. These beautiful, aromatic and showy blooms bloom all summer long into fall and even until the first frost. They are a natural mosquito repellent, and may also keep flower munchers like deer from the pride and joy in your garden. Photographed in mid June and mid July 2016 at local public and private gardens.
