Tropical Vintage Seashells of Southeast Asia Fleece Blanket

Add a touch of nature to the living room, bedroom, and even picnics and outdoor events with this stunning, wildlife-themed fleece blanket, which features my first encounter with an American Avocet at Boundary Bay Regional Park in beautiful Tsawwassen, British Columbia. This elegant wading bird is rarely found in Canada's westernmost province, so to discover two adults spending a week there during the early stages of fall migration, enjoying the local amenities and completely at ease with the photographer in their midst, was a real treat. Photographed in early September 2022.

Stunning American Avocet Wading Bird at the Beach Fleece Blanket

Add a touch of nature to the living room, bedroom, and even picnics and outdoor events with this forest-themed fleece blanket!

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.

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.

A Cute Capybara Dreams in the Summer Sun Fleece Blanket

Part brainteaser, part assemble-it-yourself art, this challenging, wildlife-themed puzzle is great for improving muscle memory.


If that isn't an eye-to-eye grin, I don't know what is! After eluding me in the backyard for a week, this male Scarlet Meadowhawk (one of two males who showed up today and briefly tussled) finally decided to come back to earth on top of one of the bamboo stakes. He didn't even mind me sticking the macro lens practically into his face for this closeup! Little Red obliged me by putting his wings perpendicular to his body (dragonflies usually perch with their wings pointed forward; by adopting the damselfly pose, he made it easier for me to get an unobstructed view of his face). Cardinal Meadowhawks are smaller dragonflies than Blue-Eyed Darners and Brown Hawkers, but what they lack in size, they (the males, at least) make up for with their striking solid red colour.

This Dragonfly is So Fly When He Smiles! Jigsaw Puzzle

Add a touch of nature and whimsy to the kitchen or dining room with this wildlife-themed sandstone coaster. 

Airbnb for the birds! We were quite tickled to see how this Bewick's Wren was making itself very much at home in a long-vacated wren nestbox. This is not unusual to see during spring or summer, but completely unexpected on the second day of winter. My subject was content to showcase a few poses for me while catching a few rays of the midday winter sun. Photographed on December 22, 2019, at the Reifel Migratory Bird Sanctuary on Westham Island in Ladner, BC.

Canada Goose Grooming on the Lake Poker Cards

Hold the winning "wild" card with these nature-themed playing cards! 

A newly adult Canada Goose grooms itself at Piper Spit, Burnaby Lake, on a cloudy fall day, the angular and swan-like curve of its neck conveying an almost regal quality to this bird. Although migratory birds in many parts of the world, some Canada Geese are all-year-round residents in Metro Vancouver and the Pacific Northwest. Photographed in early November 2016.

Getting My Ducks in a Row: Four Buffleheads

Getting My Ducks in a Row: Four Buffleheads Serving Tray

As Buffleheads don't congregate in large flocks (4 is generally the maximum) but do keep their distance from humans and potential predators (with the exception of the odd sentry, who investigates all comings and goings of creatures other than itself), it was a pleasant surprise to see both conventions broken in early December 2016, when we spotted a flock of 30 at one of the local ponds, swimming very close to the edge of the pond -- and even anticipating handouts of birdseed! Clearly, these seaducks have become accustomized to the presence of creatures like us!
