All-year-round residents in Metro Vancouver and the Pacific Northwest, Black-Capped Chickadees are some of the most "resourceful" birds we have in the backyard. Not only will they eat birdseed, sunflower seeds, and suet, but they will also eat blueberries, drink hummingbird nectar, and drink flower (kniphofia) nectar! Photographed in mid-February 2016.

Cute Black-Capped Chickadee in the Tree Classic Round Sticker

One of a dozen of Harlequin Ducks I had the fortune of meeting at the beach, and my closest encounter with these diving sea ducks. Interestingly, all were adult males in near or full breeding plumage and showing off their slate grey, white, and rich cinnamon feathers, but there were no ladies of their own kind to impress. Photographed on the first full day of spring 2017.

Beautiful Harlequin Duck on the Rock Classic Round Sticker

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.

Beautiful Mandarin Duck in the Pond Classic Round Sticker

This isn't the first time I've seen a ladybug which wasn't red and spotted, but it is certainly the first one I've been able to photograph and count the number of spots on its carapace! This beneficial insect is busy nibbling the aphids on the old plum tree leaves (note: this leaf is *not* wet; it is covered in aphid poo!)

18-Spotted Yellow and Black Ladybug Classic Round Sticker

A White-Crowned Sparrow welcomes the day (and enchants its rapt listeners) with a simple but sweet song. This one stops to check out his audience. As spring turns into summer, we see more and more of this beautiful songbird, who often forages solo, too.

White-Crowned Sparrow Sings to the Sun Classic Round Sticker

Yes, Virginia, yellow tomatoes do exist, blemishes and all ... and they have green freckles, too, if you look closely. Some of the delicious bounty to grace our lunch and dinner plates this summer. I have never seen non-red tomatoes as big as beefsteak tomatoes before.

Be a "Bee"acon Beacon of Hope Bee on Echinacea Classic Round Sticker

Save the Honeybees Pollinating Echinacea Classic Round Sticker

One of many honeybees who were pollinating echinacea at one of the largest and oldest public gardens in Vancouver, B.C., Canada. I liked the way the spiny heart of these coneflowers, with their orange-red tips, was captured. Photographed in late August 2016.

WWN Honeybee on the Echinacea

Despite the absence of bright, vivid feathers, Bushtits are such colorful characters. Although virtually identical in coloration and size, the light-eyed females are easily distinguishable from the dark-eyed males. These small but sprightly songbirds flock to seed-bearing trees and bushes as well as backyard suet feeders. This guy was calling attention to himself at Boundary Bay's Centennial Beach on an otherwise uneventful day of birding.

Cute Cherry Picking Eastern Grey Squirrel Coaster

Cute Cherry Picking Eastern Grey Squirrel Apron

One of three Eastern Grey Squirrels who find the cherries on the backyard fruit trees simply irresistible. I think I'll call him Don Cherry. If it's a girl, it'll be Dawn Cheery. Either way, I'm covered. Photographed in my backyard in mid-June 2016.

Add a touch of nature to every room in your home with this wildlife-themed switchplate cover! The perfect switchplate cover for hummingbird lovers! 

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.

Beautiful Mountain Bluebird Songbird on Log Metal Ornament

Beautiful Mountain Bluebird on Beach Driftwood Pillar Candle

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.

WWN Beautiful Mountain Bluebird on Beach Driftwood

Part brainteaser, part assemble-it-yourself art, this challenging, wildlife-themed puzzle is great for improving muscle memory. This late afternoon closeup of a male Wood Duck ensured that the fading winter sun's rays weren't casting harsh shadows on my subject. This handsome fellow clearly knew that I wanted solos of him, and was more than happy to oblige me with several angles.

Add a touch of nature to your dining experience with this floral-themed placemat.

They seem like brittle beauties, but these purple star-like flowers are surprisingly hardy, drought-resistance perennials, especially given their South African roots. Purple ice plants bloom throughout summer and make for colorful groundcover.

Purple Ice Plants Placemat

Use this floral-themed tile to protect delicate surfaces, tables, and countertops from hot pots, or as accent pieces for the dining room, kitchen, or anywhere else in the home! 

Available in a delightful range of colors, calla lilies have long intrigued me with their elegant, pitcher-like flowers. These hardy South African natives have found a strong fan following in North American gardens as ornamental plants.
