We've learned to improve the "mileage" of our anise hyssop nectar for thirsty hummingbirds ... just by adding a bamboo stake! ;) This is one of (at least) four Anna's hummingbirds who like to visit the recently opened flowers, and s/he struck a rather regal profile while drinking from the bar on an early evening in June 2018.

Anna's Hummingbird on Anise Hyssop Flowers Lumbar Pillow

Add a touch of whimsy to the bedroom or living room with this wildlife-themed throw. The perfect choice for bird lovers! 

The skeptical expression on this nuthatch's face seems to say, "Another photo? Really? Don't you have enough already?"  He probably doesn't believe that I don't camp out at the base of the old plum tree with camera and long lens in hand, waiting for him to make an appearance. There are at least three Red-Breasted Nuthatches (two males and one female) who visit the backyard regularly since our first encounter with them last year, and they have been getting progressively bolder and bolder (even more so than the Black-Capped Chickadees, whom this male will even boot off to get to the sunflower seeds).

With flaming red mascara to match his lipstick and magnificent crest, this handsome Crested Wood Partridge looks just as flamboyant as he sounds. Our first encounter with the Roul Roul proved to be elusive and disappointing. This latest visit, however, yielded multiple encounters with five of them, including two pairs, and a full-grown offspring. None of these diminutive pheasants showed the least bit of hesitance about stepping out--which made us very careful where we walked!

An adult Bald Eagle flies into the sunset at the Wireless 40 Station in Ladner, British Columbia. We saw 40-50 Bald Eagles (a conservative estimate) of various ages in this area in late December 2016--most were roosting high in the tops of trees scattered through this dog park. Features inspirational quote "may dreams give you wings to soar new skies".

Inspirational Quote Bald Eagle in Flight Throw Pillow

Add a touch of nature to the bedroom or living room with this wildlife-themed throw pillow. An early morning walk in July 2015 brings us unexpectedly face to face with the normally distant and hard to photograph Killdeer. This is the father-to-be; his mate was guarding her precious clutch of eggs in a scrape under the watchful eyes of a Bald Eagle, also nesting, not 100 feet away!

Holding tightly onto a branch on a gusty May 2016 afternoon at Iona Island is this male Yellow-Headed Blackbird. He often stopped for short periods between fetching meals for his offspring. His mate was also in the nearby marsh. My closest encounter with these strikingly-coloured birds!

Once again, the early blooming pyracantha bush has proven to be very popular with a number of fall and winter birds, including this American Robin. Four of these large, colorful thrushes have already started dining here, so by mid-December, all "supplies" of this winter food source will probably be cleared out. Photographed in late November 2016.

Fluffy Clouds in a Blue Sky Business Card

The poetry of fluffy white clouds in a blue sky in late spring demanded to be captured, and I did so with a borrowed point-and-shoot camera.

The first pastel pink lily to bloom in the backyard during an uncharacteristically cold and overcast June 1, 2017, is one of my favorite cultivars, the Oriental Lilium Stargazer. This rain-kissed specimen was photographed just after an early morning shower.

The pink morph rock pigeon at Reifel may have eluded me, but this lovely, showstopping leucistic Rock Dove at Burnaby Lake/Piper Spit took my breath away. It did a fair amount of foraging and flying with an unusually large flock of its normally-pigmented fellows.

Peace Dove on the Pebbles Wall Decal

Add color and a touch of festive to your walls during the Christmas holiday season with this floral-themed panel wall art!

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.

Festive Red White Floral Poinsettias Triptych

About 4 of the 10 Horned Grebes we spotted at Blackie Spit were swimming and diving uncharacteristically close to the main walking path of Crescent Beach -- close for Horned Grebes, that is (about 20-30 feet away). The fishing was obviously quite good near shore. My closest encounter with these birds. They are exhibiting neither the flamboyant yellow horns nor red-and-black breeding plumage during this season, but those red eyes and dapper tux are nonetheless mesmerizing!

Brown Creepers are common all-year-round residents in Metro Vancouver, but it's easy to miss seeing these masters of disguise in the forest. This is the closest I have come to photographing this extremely well-camouflaged bird, and seeing the meal in its bill was a nice added bonus.

American Treecreeper with Bug Notebook

Add a touch of nature to every room in your home with this floral-themed switchplate cover! 

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.
