 Coffee Mugs

Add a touch of nature and whimsy to your coffee, tea, or favourite hot drink with this wildlife-themed mug! The perfect gift idea for bird lovers! It's always nice to have the wildlife come to check us out, instead of the other way around. Looking like an overgrown cockatiel painted with green feathers and tri-coloured mascara, this elusive and exotic African native satisfied its curiosity of humans and gave us a rather unique viewing angle!

They're back! On a surprisingly cold and rainy morning, two flocks of Bushtits (10 in each) flew in for brunch on the flowering carrot, butterfly bush, and California Lilac bush. Some took baths on the wet leaves, and these five guys were huddled on the plum tree for warmth. It was tricky trying to get the catchlight in everyone's eyes (and all of them facing the camera (more or less))--but without a doubt, these little birds are naturally and undeniably photogenic. Photographed in early July 2016 and featured on the Cornell Lab of Ornithology's allaboutbirds.org website.

Mid-summer is the time of the season for lilies, and these delightfully fragrant white Casablanca Oriental lilies amazed me with their large size, abundance, and delicate beauty. Photographed in early August 2017 at a private garden.

Elegant Casablanca White Oriental Lilies Mug

Add a touch of nature and personality to your coffee, tea, or favourite hot drink with this wildlife-themed mug!  Honeybees are one of my favorite subjects to photograph at a close range. I have watched them for hours, pollinating the huge California Lilac that blooms with hundreds of bluish-purple clusters on the front lawn in mid-spring through summer. In fact, this bush resembles a purple beehive in late spring/early summer.

Looking deceptively like a baby duck, this full grown Bufflehead hen struck the perfect pose for me at one of the inner ponds at the George C. Reifel Migratory Bird Sanctuary. Curious "sentries" like this one will often detach themselves from the flock to satisfy their curiosity about those lenses pointed in their direction. I really doubt it's for the birdseed, unless we have discovered one with a sudden taste for them. :)

Although their rattling call has become a familiar sound to my ears, it's not easy to get a photo of the Belted Kingfisher in repose. By the time I've heard this well-dressed fisher, it's usually in motion, diving from its perch on a powerline or tree limb into the waters below to snag some unwitting piece of sushi. This lady was an exception, sitting quietly on a branch in the evening sun for several minutes before flying off to her next meal. Most of the time, I tend to encounter the females, whom I consider to be the prettier of the time, with their reddish brown and blue necklaces. Photographed in late July 2016 at Colony Farm.

The outboard motor on this male Hooded Merganser appears to be fully functional and in hyperdrive. No doubt, he was quite surprised to see any humans out during this unseasonably prolonged cold snap. He and a small flock of three hens represented their species at Boundary Bay Regional Park in mid-December 2016.

Our resident adult male Anna's hummingbird has never let me photograph him at close range, but on one evening in late May 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 bullies. 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.

Black Oystercatchers are one of the most approachable all-year-round shorebirds in Metro Vancouver. Their bright red bills, arresting yellow eyes, and red mascara will grab your attention from the start. Some will even walk right up to you--giving you the chance for some great photo opportunities. If they are very comfortable around you, they will go about their business as if you are not even there.

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.
