A Trumpet Vine sports buttery yellow flowers and a tiny, formicidic customer at the Burnaby Lake Nature House. My only other acquaintance with these creeping summer flowers has been with those of the scarlet red variety. Bokeh was unintentionally created when I focused on the flowers and leaves of my subject. Photographed in August 2014.

An unexpectedly close encounter with a female Northern Harrier while walking the paths of the local wildlife area in early Spring 2017. This beautiful, owl-faced bird of prey, so often seen soaring the skies, was hunkered down in the marshes -- probably waiting out her next meal, a duck who had gone to ground.

By far, Columbian Ground Squirrels are the most entertaining wildlife at Manning Park, and the first ones to greet us in the parking lot of Manning Park Resort. These Prairie Dogs of the West were positioned near their network of holes in the ground (or in rotted tree stumps) and often calling in an upright position like meerkats or groundhogs (when they weren't chasing each other around or kissing). We found plenty at Manning Park Resort and Lightning Lake (particularly near the picnic tables). Columbian Ground Squirrels spend the short summer bulking up on fat reserves for their hibernation period, which lasts for seven months!

We encountered four of these large and beautiful butterflies on our evening walk through the local wildlife management area. Two of them seemed to engage briefly in an aerial dogfight before going their separate ways. Anise Swallowtails are almost always on the move, so to see this one resting was a rare experience.

Two of an unexpectedly large flock of 30 Buffleheads, who were swimming in a local pond at Ambleside Park in early December 2016. These seaducks were uncharacteristically bold, and venturing as far to land as a few feet away from the water's edge. More than a handful looked like they were expectantly waiting handouts of birdseed from the watching birders and photographers, and yet, when none was forthcoming, resumed their activities of swimming, preening, or diving for food.

In Memory of a Beloved Pet Memorial Metal Ornament

Stella (the Grey) was an adventurous lady who never lost her youthful spirit, independence, or zest for adventure. Her playful personality belied her actual age by many, many years. She stared down dogs much bigger than herself; loved her humans; and welcomed the laps and attentions of friend and stranger. She will be missed by many.

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.

A Curious Bewick's Wren in the Tree Luggage Tag

Birding just a small clearing of forest in Minnekhada Regional Park in late May 2016 yielded two new bird species for my life list, including this Red-Breasted Sapsucker, who chose to fly to a dead tree as I was photographing some other birds. This handsome woodpecker did not call -- but its bright red head did all the talking for it. It was all I could do not to stop and stare.

Meeting a Red-Breasted Sapsucker Magnet

Add a little character to the office -- or office party -- with this wildlife-themed tie.  From fall through spring, one can see many different species of raptors in Metro Vancouver. I encountered this magnificent creature, an adult Peregrine Falcon, while driving through Ladner in the spring of 2015--sitting on its favourite branch, some 40-50 feet in a tree on a farm--was a truly breathtaking sight. This scion of the skies and I traded curious glances for a few precious moments, but I am certain my sense of wonder was greater.

My mid-morning stroll through an old-growth forest in mid-June 2016 led me to one of those simple, yet breathtaking wonders of nature: the sight of sun-dappled shadows painted on the leaves of trees that have existed centuries before my time. The interplay of dark and light has always fascinated me.

Green-Winged Teals are starting to mass in greater numbers at Piper Spit, Burnaby Lake, as winter passes its halfway point. A number of these small dabbling ducks are also starting to engage in springtime courtship behaviours. This drake was particularly vocal, and gave me a good angle of himself in the process.
