Elegant Maple Leaf Tulips Fabric

Make pjs, bedroom decor, bags, and so much more with this fabric, which features a young, precocious swimmer at a local lake.

There were plenty of babies at Burnaby Lake ... and all were Canada Goose goslings. One family unit had a staggering 35 new additions! The parents of this particular gosling swam with their brood right under our noses along the boardwalk!

Tiny Swimmer: Canada Goose Gosling Fabric

Make pjs, bedroom decor, bags, and so much more with this fabric, which features a handsome male duck sitting pretty at the local pond!

Reflected in the tranquil waters of this pond is this Northern Pintail drake. They may be most commonly seen in West Coast winters, but I've encountered these ducks almost all year round at the Reifel Migratory Bird Sanctuary.

Reflections of a Northern Pintail Duck Fabric

Make pjs, bedroom decor, bags, and so much more with this fabric, which features an Anna's Hummingbird in the old plum tree!

Our resident adult male Anna's hummingbird has never let me photograph him at close range, but on one evening in early June 2016, he came to sit on one of the old plum tree branches, just a few feet away from me. 

Perhaps, after seeing how comfortable the four visiting Rufous hummingbirds were around me, he probably figured that there wasn't anything scary about me -- and that I might even afford him some protection from the little hellraisers. So rather than being on the receiving end of his metallic scratchy or tick-tick-tick calls, he stared for a few moments into my lens, and then went to feed from the nectar feeder before making a much less frenzied exit than was his usual style.

Stunning Male Anna's Hummingbird on the Plum Tree 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

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.

Cute Little Sanderling at the Beach 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

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.

Spunky songbird? Check. Puffball with a peaked coif? Check. Capable of balancing a seed on the tip of its tongue? Check. Many photo ops with a bold and beautiful Lincoln's Sparrow. One always makes sure to visit the backyard in the winter and mid-spring. Photographed in late February 2018, after a few days of heavy snowfall that deposited 6-7 inches in Metro Vancouver.

Cute and Spunky Lincoln's Sparrow Trivet

Add a touch of nature and whimsy to your golf game with this wildlife-themed club head cover!

The first time I've had the opportunity to shoot a Bewick's Wren out in the open, and at fairly close range. This beautiful long-tailed songbird must have sensed that I wanted to photograph it, and returned my curiosity with its own by posing on this branch for a few moments. Photographed in January 2017.

Stunning Red Gold Autumn Chrysanthemum Flowers Kitchen Towel

Add a touch of nature to your dining experience with this wildlife-themed placemat. I missed seeing one of these tiny plovers in the summer, but my subject, in its non-breeding plumage, is no less beautiful for it! A rare sight for this time of the year (usually these dainty-looking shorebirds are already wintering along the coasts of the Southwestern U.S., Central America, and South America), this Semipalmated Plover was frequenting the shores of Boundary Bay at Centennial Beach during high tide, in (almost) mid-December, along with a flock of Dunlins and Sanderlings on a surprisingly sunny (and warm-for-almost-winter) day.

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

Isn't she lovely? This female Rufous hummingbird poses calmly for my camera on the old plum tree in the backyard. With the very early arrival (and disappearance) of the males in March and April as they migrate to as far north as Alaska, we have had a veritable dearth of yardbirds. Her continued presence means that life will become much more "interesting" for the resident Anna's (particularly the males). Not coincidentally, we are also seeing more birds in the backyard now.

Beautiful Mandarin Duck in the Pond Serving Tray

Being an escapee from an Oregon farm did not diminish the appeal of this adult male Mandarin Duck, whose flight to freedom was rewarded with a constant supply of bird seed and the company of Wood Ducks at Piper Spit. I was gifted with the privilege of his metamorphosis over many agonizingly slow months, as I watched him exchange his post-breeding plumage for the magnificent feathers and stunning color palette that make him a dream to photograph (and a hit with the females of his kind). Mother Nature left nothing to the artist's imagination when she made this creature! Photographed at Burnaby Lake in mid-October 2018.
