Forsythia is a showstopping, sun-loving shrub that welcomes spring after the white of winter has passed. This cultivar, 'Lynwood Gold', is hardy even under poor soil conditions, and its yellow-gold flowers are recognizable just about anywhere in Metro Vancouver. This amazing specimen was photographed at the local public garden in early April 2017.

My introduction to the Satyr Comma / Anglewing. Apparently these little, bright orange butterflies are supposed to be skittish, but don't tell this beauty that ... it posed for several shots on a blade of marsh vegetation. Photographed on July 2, 2016 at Campbell Valley Regional Park.

As with many yellow summer birds on my watch list, I have been pursuing this beautiful warbler and prolific singer for quite some time. Two years ago, I heard his trademark witchety-witchety-witchety birdsong and have since gotten few and frequently shaded glimpses of his rakish black mask and bright yellow breast through local shrubs and bushes. This is the closest I have come to photographing him out in the open.

It takes two to tango and three to tangle! One lady is bracketed by two gents in another photo that shows why Wood Ducks are called Wood Ducks.  This fallen log actually held five Wood Ducks a few moments before -- but all were in various stages of preening, not all were looking at the camera, and every duck was on a different visual plane. Photographed in the afternoon winter sun at Piper Spit / Burnaby Lake.

A Sanderling wanders the shores of Boundary Bay Regional Park in mid-February 2017, looking for a fine seafood dining experience. These tiny shorebirds leave their spring and summer breeding grounds in the far north and return to Metro Vancouver in large flocks--sometimes a few hundred--to spend the (cooler) winters here. They are amazingly tame and approachable--as if seeing us in their midst is an every day occurrence.

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.

A presumed hobby farm escapee, this adult male Mandarin Duck has been seen in the company of the Wood Ducks of Piper Spit. He has called Burnaby Lake home since he was first spotted in 2018. His stunning pastiche of ruffs, dazzling color palette, and "fins" make him such a dreamboat to photograph. Mother Nature left nothing to the artist's imagination when she made this creature! Photographed at Burnaby Lake in early March 2020.

WWN March of the Goslings

Bring a bit of nature with you, wherever you go, with this wildlife-themed tote! 

Our resident adult male Anna's hummingbird has never let me photograph him at close range, but on one evening in late May 2016, he came to sit on one of the old plum tree branches, just a few feet away from me. 

Perhaps, after seeing how comfortable the four visiting Rufous hummingbirds were around me, he probably figured that there wasn't anything scary about me -- and that I might even afford him some protection from the little hellraisers. So rather than being on the receiving end of his metallic scratchy or tick-tick-tick calls, he stared for a few moments into my lens, and then went to feed from the nectar feeder before making a much less frenzied exit than was his usual style.
