Raise a toast to nature with this elegant, floral-themed flask, which features a yin-yang styled pair of Japanese painted ferns, isolated on black, and digitally rendered in fiery orange and electric blue hues. With a leaf shape evocative of both feathers and flames, this most ancient of plants boasts a simple but dazzling and unique artistry. Personalize with an initial or monogram as desired.

Blue Orange Japanese Painted Ferns Monogram Flask

initial

A newly adult Canada Goose grooms itself at Piper Spit, Burnaby Lake, on a cloudy fall day, the angular and swan-like curve of its neck conveying an almost regal quality to this bird. Although migratory birds in many parts of the world, some Canada Geese are all-year-round residents in Metro Vancouver and the Pacific Northwest. Photographed in early November 2016.

Canada Goose on the Lake Hip Flask

A Short-Eared Owl surveys its hunting grounds for opportunistic Northern Harriers who would not hesitate to take advantage of the fruit of its hunting prowess. Sudden gusts of wind fluff this hunter's head feathers, revealing the short ear tufts for which this owl is named. Photographed on a late afternoon in late November 2017.

Portrait of a Short-Eared Owl Flask

The rapture of a raptor in flight! I wanted to have a closeup of this Bald Eagle roosting at the top a dead birch tree ... but it decided, at 30 feet away, that it was time to go. This was the most dramatic part of its takeoff.

A Bald Eagle Takes to the Sky Flask

This male Pekin Robin decided to satisfy his curiosity of the approaching humans, and flew into a large tropical tree to observe us from under the large leafy cover. Our initial encounter was all too brief and disappointing, but this second meeting yielded the opportunity to study this wonderfully dressed and beautiful singer in much greater detail and length. Our subject must have noticed this, as he was unusually still and not hopping from branch to branch!

An Indian subcontinent native, this Old World babbler is so popular that many other countries want to claim it for their own, and so, it goes by other aliases, including Pekin Robin, Pekin nightingale, Japanese hill robin, and Japanese nightingale.

Colorful Leiothrix / Pekin Robin Songbird Hip Flask

Sanderlings are tiny -- and surprisingly, quite approachable -- migratory shorebirds which 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 Sanderling Sandpiper Wanders Winter Shores Hip Flask

Available in a delightful range of colors, calla lilies have long intrigued me with their elegant, pitcher-like flowers. These hardy South African natives have found a strong fan following in North American gardens as ornamental plants.

Elegant Purple Calla Lilies Flask

This male Eclectus Parrot has rockstar tendencies, and tends to be loud and given to overacting when he wants your attention ... making him a colourful personality with equally colourful "fowl" language.

"The Green Orator" Eclectus Parrot Hip Flask

Use this wildlife-themed trivet to protect delicate surfaces, tables, and countertops from hot pots, or as an accent piece for the dining room or kitchen.

The fly I just caught was THAT big! This handsome male Rufous Hummingbird was photographed at one of the nectar feeders at the Reifel Migratory Bird Sanctuary in mid-May 2016. These feisty little hummingbirds are a popular attraction in Metro Vancouver, and can be seen here patronizing nectar feeders from March through August, although warm spells late into the fall in 2015 saw a few overstaying their welcome until the end of October!

Stunning Male Rufous Hummingbird Flying Jewel Trivet

Add a touch of nature and wonder to your walls with this wildlife-themed decal! Perfect for bird lovers!

With the deep blue of the water in the background, I could not have asked for better light or a better pose with this shot (I did hope to be a little closer to my subject, though!) Three of these very active and adorable buntings were hopping up and down the shoreline at the Tsawwassen Ferry Jetty on a sunny but very breezy evening! Lapland Longspurs are delightful little songbirds that winter in Metro Vancouver but spend their summers in the high Arctic. Photographed on October 17, 2016.

Hold the winning "wild" card with these whimsical, nature-themed playing cards! 

Seems like everyone's got a weakness for nuts and seeds, including this Bewick's Wren. Their complex and euphonic repertoire more than makes up for their understated brown plumage. Photographed in late March 2021.

Bewick's Wren Songbird on Treestump Poker Cards

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

Part brainteaser, part assemble-it-yourself art, this challenging, wildlife-themed puzzle is great for improving muscle memory. This 4.5-foot male green iguana was basking in both the attention of human visitors and the heat of the pre-noon sun during a show-and-tell session at the local zoo.

Profile of a Green Iguana Jigsaw Puzzle

Add a touch of nature to your laptop or computer with this wildlife-themed mousepad. The perfect choice for bird lovers! 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.

Cute Black-Capped Chickadee on Pear Tree Mouse Pad

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

The perfect choice for bird lovers! I have never met a more photogenic and well-behaved Northern Pintail. This one was photographed (and exchanging the odd word or two) with a small flock of Northern Pintails and Mallards near the observation tower, just a few minutes before closing time at the Reifel Migratory Bird Sanctuary.

Add a touch of nature to your car with this whimsical, wildlife-inspired air freshener!

Saw more of the tiny Sanderlings at the Boundary Bay Regional Park beach, just before Valentine's Day 2017. This one was foraging on the shoreline with 20 others of its kind, dining on the remnants of clams that had been already picked apart by gulls.
