Sometimes a mistake can be the path to a new technique. This Japanese Shaga, a small but ornate beardless iris also rather romantically known as the butterfly flower for its delicate, wing-like petals, was actually photographed outdoors under natural daylight after I forgot to reset shutter speed and aperture settings from the previous photo.

Funny Surprised Hooded Merganser Waterfowl Duck Poker Cards

Hold the winning "wild" card with these nature-themed playing cards! The golfers on the fairway clearly didn't disturb this Eastern Cottontail Rabbit, who was busy munching away on the delicious and well-manicured greens. This one paused to mug for my camera, and then went right back to chewing on its verdant comestibles, unfazed by the attention. Based on the original photography of W.H. Sim. All Rights Reserved.

A drive down an old farm road on a warm mid-winter afternoon led me to this gorgeous adult Red-tailed Hawk perched on a power line. Said subject was unflappable and resolute in both the face of the long lens pointed in its direction and the constant flow of vehicular traffic.

One of many honeybees who were pollinating echinacea at one of the oldest public gardens in Metro Vancouver, BC. I liked the way the spiny heart of these coneflowers, with their reddish orange tips, was captured. Photographed in late August 2016.

My second encounter with a male Mountain Bluebird. We are gifted, albeit very briefly, with the presence of these beautiful songbirds at the start of the spring season before they head to higher ground to breed. Those stunning cerulean colors stand out on a dreary landscape, even from a distance. When he wasn't busy diving for insects on the local beach, he was highpointing it on driftwood and stalks of dessicated tansy. Photographed at Boundary Bay Regional Park in early spring 2017.

Back in the backyard are my FOY adult White-Crowned Sparrows, which showed up in mid-April 2016. The male (pictured here) loves to sing from the pear tree (and anywhere else in the neighbourhood he can find a suitable perch to blast his beautiful aria from (for which he can be forgiven his blueberry pinching proclivities), all day long, when he isn't engaged in the task of eating), but the female is a lady of few words.

Also known by their other aliases of "Red Star" and "Rosy Posy" (my favourite), I found a bed of these small but hardy South African perennials flourishing in one of our local public gardens. Summer brings forth bright pink star-shaped flowers with their telltale hidden hearts -- low growing plants that make great ground cover.

The second summertime flowering of our gladiolus ... this mid-August blooming produced even more striking sword lilies, with more splashes of white to contrast against the bright red hues for a candy cane like effect. Truly a Christmas moment in August!
