Be inspired to be your best with this desk mat, which features the quote, "Find Inspiration in Every Moment of Every Day" against a photo of fluffy clouds in a blue winter sky.

As a graphic designer, photographer, and writer, I've learned that it's important that nothing be taken for granted. Don't forget to appreciate the smallest things in life. Only then can you be inspired to be creative, and to find wonder in living life to the utmost.

Fluffy Clouds in a Cerulean Blue Winter Sky Desk Mat

If living things inspire you to be your best, then this desk mat, which features a top-down closeup of several cultivars of sempervivum, is for you. 

Also known as live forever, houseleek, and hens and chicks, these plants were transplanted from the flowerbed (where they were growing unchecked) to the more controlled setting of a 2-gallon planter. They are hardy and can survive cold temperatures down to a shocking -40 C, and, as a matter of fact, they were buried in almost 2 feet of snow last winter! Photographed in mid-June 2023.

Bird's Eye View of Sempervivum Plants Desk Mat

If living things inspire you to be your best, then this desk mat, which features a family of snowy owls mugging for my lens, is for you. 

Wildlife and the magic of the holiday season go hand in hand, and the no bird wears winter better or is more strongly associated with the season of cold than the charismatic Snowy Owl. 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.

Be inspired to be your best with this desk mat, which features the quote, "Find Inspiration in Every Moment of Every Day" against a photo of clouds tinged with the colors of the rainbow, an optical phenomenon known as cloud iridescence or irisation. I was privileged to capture that moment on a cold winter's day as the sun was setting.

Fluffy Clouds in a Cerulean Blue Summer Sky  Desk Mat

About 4 of the 10 Horned Grebes we spotted at Blackie Spit were swimming and diving uncharacteristically close to the main walking path of Crescent Beach -- close for Horned Grebes, that is (about 20-30 feet away). The fishing was obviously quite good near shore. My closest encounter with these birds. They are exhibiting neither the flamboyant yellow horns nor red-and-black breeding plumage during this season, but those red eyes and dapper tux are nonetheless mesmerizing!

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.

A Black-Capped Chickadee on the Pear Tree Keychain

Add a touch of nature and whimsy to your walls with this wildlife-themed decal! Perfect for bird lovers!

Being small and drab-colored doesn't stop the diminutive Bushtit from drawing attention to itself with its twittering and high energy antics. This fellow caught my attention at Centennial Beach, after a (more or less) fruitless day of birding. Heard long before they are seen, these highly active songbirds often flock together in large groups, calling to each other often while they search for food.

WWN Stunning Wood Duck in the Pond

Use these wildlife-themed tiles to protect delicate surfaces, tables, and countertops from hot pots, or as accent pieces for the dining room or kitchen.

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.

These hydrangea flowers were grown from a donation in which all but one of the three donor plants had died--but the sole survivor proved to be extremely prolific, and generated big fluffy blossoms in the softest pastel shades of pink, purple, and blue.
