Closeup of Garden Ferns Tissue Paper

Beautiful Rudbeckias Yellow Coneflowers Tissue Paper

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 Tissue Paper

These oxeye daisies (also known by their other aliases of "moon daisies", and "dog daisies") were photographed on a cloudy day that gave way to lots of sunshine at the UBC Botanical Gardens in mid-June 2016.

A Field of Oxeye Daisies Tissue Paper

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 Tissue Paper

A rare moment of co-operation and tenderness between two Sanderlings who look like they're sharing a meal. Sanderlings are more likely to go solo or chase each other during their hunts in their search for snacks on the shore between breaking waves. Their fluffy white feathers keep them warm (and looking cute) during the cold winter months.

Cute Pair of Sanderlings Sandpipers Shares a Meal Tissue Paper

Living in a place where the colors change as the seasons each have moments in time to express themselves is always something wondrous to witness. Clockwise from top left: winterberries (Fall), rudbeckias (Summer), sun-dappled green leaves in the forest (Spring), and dusty miller (Winter).

Colors of the Changing Seasons Quadriptych Tissue Paper

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.

Stunning Mandarin Duck at the Pond Greeting

Add a touch of nature to your correspondence with these whimsical, wildlife-inspired address labels!

My second visit to the Maplewood Conservation Area in North Vancouver produced meetings with not two, but six blacktail deer in a clearing ... four fawns and two does who seemed completely at ease with the small group of photographers in their midst. The younger ones seemed almost as curious about the humans as we were about them! This fawn was extremely happy to be alive, bounding in a very Bambi-esque manner through the forest! Photographed in late August 2016.

Curious Rufous Hummingbird on a Twig Label

Face to Face with a North American Raccoon Trivet

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

A mid-summer walk around Stanley Park's Lost Lagoon yielded the surprise of a raccoon. In fact, this one quietly preceded us, like a tour guide, for a hundred yards, to the cement bridge before joining a haze of other raccoons. S/he even stopped to give me a few angles ... all of which is very unnatural behaviour for a mammal who is more likely to be active at night!

WWN One Well-Behaved North American Raccoon

A Flock of Snow Geese at the Beach Large Gift Bag

Keep notes, reminders, and more in this wildlife-themed journal. 

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 Notebook

Make pjs, bedroom decor, bags, and so much more with this fabric, which features a Snowy Owl!

Owls are such fascinating creatures. They are front page newsmakers, drawing the interest of birders, nature lovers, and just about everyone else who has a pulse. Snowy Owls are especially charismatic; the largest owls in North America only show up in Metro Vancouver every few years, and their appearance during our winters causes crowds of admirers and fans to form and flock.

Beautiful, Dreamy and Serene Snowy Owl Fabric

On its way to raid the backyard suet feeder, a young, very curious Chestnut-Backed Chickadee pauses to stare at my lens from the grapevine. Based on the original photography of W.H. Sim. All Rights Reserved. See more at zazzle.com/walkswithnature

So Cute, So Curious: A Chestnut-Backed Chickadee Magnet

Add a touch of nature to your correspondence with these whimsical, wildlife-inspired address labels!

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.
