Add a touch of nature to your computer or laptop with this mousepad!  The hibiscus is a familiar and popular sight in many private and public gardens, and will also draw the interest of hummingbirds. Some varieties can grow to the size of dinner plates! I snapped this blooming beauty in the backyard. Based on the original photography of W.H. Sim. All Rights Reserved.

This is the third sighting we have had of a Hermit Thrush, a lovely singer, in the yard in the past two years, but the only time we have spotted it on the front lawn -- this time, perfectly posed on the pyracantha coccinea (Scarlet Firethorn). The warm yellow you see in the backyard is the neighbor's weeping alder.

This chubby little number didn't seem the least bit fazed to be photographed. Taken from 20 feet away--this was my second attempt to photograph it in just a few minutes. So thrilled to see this bold little berry eater. Photographed on October 21, 2016.

Hermit Thrush Songbird on Scarlet Firethorn Gel Mouse Pad

Black Oystercatchers are one of the most approachable shorebirds in Metro Vancouver. Some will even walk right up to you--giving you the chance for lovely photo opportunities. I like this shot because there's a blue background (water) and grey (log) to set off that striking red bill, yellow eye, pink legs, and black and brown plumage.

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

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

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.

A Sweet Rufous Hummingbird Poses on the Fruit Tree Gel Mouse Pad

This handsome fellow actually made a beeline to the wharf from which I was photographing a trio of Double-Crested Cormorants ... apparently all these avian "marina users" are quite comfortable around humans. Although they are the Queen's birds, Mute Swans are considered an invasive species in North America on account of their natural behaviours, which upset the native ecosystem, and efforts have been made to keep their numbers down. However, my subject, is just one of fewer than 300 wild Mute Swans who inhabit British Columbian waters.

Add a touch of nature to your laptop or computer with this wildlife-themed mousepad. The perfect choice for bird lovers! Far easier to distinguish than Tundra Swans and Trumpeter Swans by virtue of their facial knobs and bright orange bills, a pair of breeding Mute Swans gazes into my lens as they leisurely ply the waters of Lost Lagoon at Stanley Park. The perfect mousepad for nature and wildlife lovers!

We had our first trio of Rufous hummingbirds arrive in the backyard in early April 2017. This adult male was uncharacteristically taken with the early-blooming flowering currant bush and the sextet of hummingbird feeders scattered throughout the area, and stayed for a week--a real treat, considering most of the adult males usually only stay a day, passing through to more northern climes (Alaska) for the breeding season. Getting a decent shot of him has been a cat-and-mouse game, however, and this pose of him on the cherry tree (with his flashing reddish gorget and rufous feathers) was only possible because my subject did not know that he was being photographed.

Stunning Rufous Hummingbird on the Cherry Tree Gel Mouse Pad

Add a touch of sophistication and elegance to liven up dining experiences with this floral-themed table runner!

The enticing combination of purple/blue petals and yellow centers drew me to my first michaelmas daisies, which bloom from July through to October--adding wonderful splashes of color to the garden when many of the vivid hues of summer have already wound down. Photographed on September 18, 2016.

Beautiful Purple Michaelmas Daisies Long Table Runner

Add a touch of nature to the kitchen or dining room with this wildlife-themed serving tray! The perfect choice for bird lovers! 

Black Oystercatchers are one of the most approachable all-year-round shorebirds in Metro Vancouver. Their bright red bills, arresting yellow eyes, and red mascara will grab your attention from the start. Some will even walk right up to you--giving you the chance for some great photo opportunities. If they are very comfortable around you, they will go about their business as if you are not even there.

Getting My Ducks in a Row: Four Buffleheads Serving Tray

As Buffleheads don't congregate in large flocks (4 is generally the maximum) but do keep their distance from humans and potential predators (with the exception of the odd sentry, who investigates all comings and goings of creatures other than itself), it was a pleasant surprise to see both conventions broken in early December 2016, when we spotted a flock of 30 at one of the local ponds, swimming very close to the edge of the pond -- and even anticipating handouts of birdseed! Clearly, these seaducks have become accustomized to the presence of creatures like us!

Seeing a Downy Woodpecker (usually the female) on the backyard suet feeder isn't unusual. Seeing this male (busy whittling wood here) and his female (unseen, but preening herself nearby) on the pear tree just when we got a spot of sunshine over the Great Backyard Bird Count 2017 (Feb 17-20) weekend, was!

Bring on the birds of spring! A round, energetic ball of energy, this adult male Wilson's Warbler posed briefly on the grapevine with the white, bell-like flowers of the pieris japonica shrub in the background on a slightly overcast afternoon in mid-May 2018.
