There's lots to be admired when you're a Hooded Merganser. Crests are your specialty, whether you're the male or the female. The ladies have lovely cinnamon crests, and the gentlemen inflatable black-and-white numbers complemented by a one-size-fits-all black tux for all seasons with a swath of reddish brown on their sides.

Sanderlings Feasting in Staggered Synchronicity Doormat

Invite spring and family, friends, and other visitors to your home with this customizable floral-themed welcome mat! Customize as desired.

A prolonged cold winter snap has delayed the bloom of many spring flowers in Metro Vancouver, but this massive bloom of yellow and bicolored white-on-yellow daffodils at the top of Burnaby Mountain has made up for the lack of natural color in March and April. Photographed in early May 2017.

Sanderlings are tiny -- and surprisingly, quite approachable -- migratory shorebirds that 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.

Cute Foraging Sanderling Sandpiper on Winter Beach Doormat

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.

Cute Pair of Sanderlings Sandpipers Shares a Meal Doormat

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

Rufous Hummingbirds have usually left Metro Vancouver for Mexico by mid August, so it was a delight to see and photograph this exceedingly feisty straggler in the backyard. This little scrapper has been (successfully, for the past two days) giving grief to the juvenile male Anna's hummingbird who has owned the backyard for most of the summer (as well as the other feathered friends who visit), vigorously defending every flower and feeder in sight. This hybrid fruit tree branch has become its favorite perch, and gave me quite a few photographic opportunities. Photographed on September 4, 2016.

Adorable Rufous Hummingbird on Branch Classic Round Sticker

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

Mid-autumn brings the return of Buffleheads to the George C. Reifel Migratory Bird Sanctuary. While one or two of these diminutive diving ducks will partake of the birdseed thrown in the water, the rest generally keep their distance from humans and the other waterfowl species. When the adult males are photographed in the right light(s), their heads are iridescent with all the colors of the rainbow.

Beautiful Bufflehead Duck in the Afternoon Sun Coaster

This female Rufous Hummingbird has developed a fondness for many of our flowering plants, including the nectar from the first Kniphofia to bloom in our backyard! Miss R. now owns the garden, scrutinizing every creature who shows up -- bird, squirrel, and everyone else!

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

Meet Ela, Teddy's high-maintenance girlfriend. Unlike him, she is an attention-seeking sweetie, and her fur is the picture of perfection. Meeting you at the gates isn't enough; this dainty, but seldom still Pomeranian will make sure that you dole out scratches and cuddles to her as often as possible, which is all the time. 

She is the happiest when she's the center of everyone's attention, which is also all the time. This has made her My Little Shadow on many occasions, but she is nimble enough to not actually get underfoot and become a speed bump.

Every time I tried to get closer to her or crouch down to take a photo at her level, she would start walking towards me (to the amusement of all her human cohorts).

Wax begonias are popular flowers and long-lasting summertime perennials. The gardener who planted these white, pink, and red varieties had a great eye for color and layout! Photographed in late August 2016 on the outskirts of the UBC Botanical Garden.

Colorful Wax Begonias Leggings

Sometimes a mistake can be the path to a new technique. This Crested Iris was actually photographed outdoors under natural daylight after I forgot to reset shutter speed and aperture settings from the previous photo--which turned out to be perfect for highlighting its delicate petals.
