 Fabric

Make pjs, bedroom decor, bags, and so much more with this fabric, which features an adorable young male Bushtit after a sudden summer shower!

When Bushtits come calling, it's a sudden avalanche of cuteness in the backyard -- because these social songbirds often show up in flocks of 10-30, feed briefly (and co-operatively) on the suet or whatever else they fancy (calling to each other constantly as they do so), and leave as quickly as they came. Once in a while, though, they will stay for 15-30 minutes. I photographed this damp fellow--who was caught in the morning rain--taking a moment to pause on the laurel bush. Some of his fellow Bushtits were actually bathing on the laurel leaves, like hummingbirds do. Photographed in early July 2016.

Cute Wet Wee Bushtit on the Laurel Fabric

Make pjs, bedroom decor, bags, and so much more with this fabric, which features that iconic harbinger of spring, an American Robin.

It's always a wonderful moment when our subjects seek us out instead of the other way around! A particularly bold American Robin approaches our picnic table to stare at us -- perhaps he was hoping that we had worms or berries with us?

A Curious and Hopeful American Robin Fabric

Make pjs, bedroom decor, bags, and so much more with this fabric, which features a Bald Eagle in flight!

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.

Elegant Maple Leaf Tulips Fabric

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

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

The best way to endure the late summer heat is to sleep it away! Catching a siesta in the mid-afternoon heat is this sun-and-shadow-dappled capybara at the local zoo.

A Cute Capybara Dreams in the Summer Sun Fabric

Make pjs, bedroom decor, bags, and so much more with this fabric, which features a Chestnut-Backed Chickadee on the pear tree.

A dark, overcast day lends a painting-like effect to my photo of this Chestnut-Backed Chickadee, who was perched on one of the fruit trees in our backyard and in no particular hurry to nab a seed from the hanging feeding stations.

Cute Chestnut-Backed Chickadee on the Pear Tree Fabric

Celebrate wildlife and nature with these whimsical sticky notes.

Blue Jays may be one of North America's most iconic bird species, but they are rarely found on the West Coast. However, this one has discovered that Ladner Harbor Park in beautiful British Columbia is a great place to hang out and avoid the nasty snowfalls of the east. S/he's been "resident" in this forest since early November 2020 and grants an audience to whomever is willing to shell out a handout of peanuts first. Photographed in late March 2021.

Add a touch of nature and whimsy to your bathroom with this wildlife-themed shower curtain! Hooded Mergansers not only look different from your average North American ducks, but their courtship rituals are fascinating to watch, too. The males engage in plenty of frog-like croaking, head-to-back arches, neck stretching, and wing flapping -- all maneuvers which are pretty much guaranteed to get them largely unnoticed if not completely ignored from the females of their own kind (who have seen it many times before).

Looking to score a birdie for your round of golf? You're guaranteed one--in a manner of speaking--with this wildlife-themed club head cover, which features an adorable and tiny Northern Saw Whet Owl! It's "owl" you'll need for a great score on the green!

The Northern Saw Whet Owl is one of the smallest owls native to North America, and its diminutiveness, combined with those oversized black eyes, might make you think that it is, at first glance, a plush toy!

Black Oystercatcher Shorebird Fishing at the Beach Towel

Seafood dining at its best! One of five Black Oystercatchers we spotted on a windy, cloudy day at the Tsawwassen Ferry Jetty over the Great Backyard Bird Count 2017 (Feb 17-20) weekend. The fishing (clamming?) was good ... these shorebirds were hauling in clam after clam after clam!

WWN Stunning Black Oystercatcher Shorebird with Clam

Add a touch of nature to any room with this wildlife-themed wall hanging. 

The start of the growing season means the return of the diminutive but feisty Rufous Hummingbirds to Metro Vancouver. From March through August, their presence means increased competition for nectar feeders and flowers for the resident Anna's hummingbirds. This fellow was one of five Rufouses to visit the Richmond Nature Park regularly on an early spring day. We witnessed extremely vocal and physical territorial disputes (which were, rather comically, inversely proportional to the size of the combatants). Photographed on April 4, 2016.

Stunning Rufous Hummingbird in the Sun Canvas Print

Add a touch of whimsy to your laptop or computer with this animal-themed mousepad. The perfect choice for cat lovers! 

Feline good! This l'il shadowboxer looks like s/he means business, but that stern expression belies a very friendly nature. It takes a very trusting feline to walk right up to a complete stranger, lie on the ground, and roll around several times (showing belly) in the parking lot at the Ladner Harbour Park (where it looks like a film shoot or a local festival is being set up) as if she's known you all her life. She certainly knows how to play up to the camera -- those yellow eyes never leave it (maybe she's a studio cat)! Oh, and she came by to rub my legs after she finished with her sandbath. Judging by the condition of the immaculate fur and the dainty pink collar with bells, this is clearly someone's well fed and (very) well cared for bicolour orange spotted tabby.

Cute Funny Shadowboxing Orange Cat in the Gravel Mouse Pad

Add a splash of personality to your wrist with a wildlife-themed watch from the walkswithnature™ Watch the Birdie™ collection.  The first time I saw this small winged predator, it made its cameo in the backyard, to the dismay of the songbird regulars. Even though I (rather noisily) opened a window of the sunroom to get a shot of it, it made no move to move. Instead, it surveyed the grounds below it and the trees above, almost patiently, and methodically, before turning its bright yellow eyes on the photographer.
