Nothing says "you complete me" or "your better/other half" than these whimsical, wildlife-themed lovers' mugs.

A drive down an old farm road on a warm mid-winter afternoon led me to this gorgeous adult Red-tailed Hawk perched on a power line. Said subject was unflappable and resolute in both the face of the long lens pointed in its direction and the constant flow of vehicular traffic.

Magnificent Red-Tailed Hawk in the Sun Coffee Mug Set

Nothing says "you complete me" or "your better/other half" than these whimsical, wildlife-themed lovers' mugs. 

The brighter-colored male on the left was temporarily stunned when he flew into window mesh a few days before Christmas 2014, but, after a few minutes, flew off, none the worse for wear. Photographed almost a year later, the female on the right was busy indulging in bright orange pyracantha pomes (that match her plumage!) on a rainy day in mid-November 2014.

Varied Thrushes Coffee Mug Set

Nothing says "you complete me" or "your better/other half" than these whimsical, wildlife-themed lovers' mugs. Far easier to distinguish than Tundra Swans and Trumpeter Swans by virtue of their facial knobs and bright orange bills, Mute Swans are a popular tourist draw in Stanley Park's Lost Lagoon.

On Swan Lake Coffee Mug Set

Nothing says "you complete me" or "your better/other half" than these stunning, wildlife-themed lovers' mugs, which feature a pair of Harlequin ducks. The females may be drab brown with white face spots, but in the breeding season, the males shine with a striking palette of slate grey, white, and rich cinnamon feathers.

Stunning Harlequin Ducks Lovebirds Coffee Mug Set

Marsh Wrens are songbirds common to the local wildlife habitats and marshes. More likely to be heard than seen at any time of the year in Metro Vancouver, they are one of the few bird species that I have come to (correctly) identify by song than sight. When they do pop out for a photograph, I have but a second or two to try my luck--unless they choose to serenade me with their full aria.

Green-Winged Teals are the smallest dabbling ducks in North America, and they are generally found in larger numbers during fall and winter in Metro Vancouver. Though tiny compared to other ducks, they can hold their own. While the females are unremarkable except for their green speculums, the males sport a striking green eyestripe and cinnamon brown head.

Those of you familiar with famous paintings will realize that this is a wildlife spoof of one which sold for quite the pretty penny in 2005. I couldn't resist the opportunity to photograph this out-of-water pair of Northern Pintails at the local wildlife habitat. They were so well behaved and photogenic, and their pose naturally mimicked the subjects of Grant Wood's American Gothic, that to not capture them this way would have been artistically negligent. :)

Funny American / Northern Pintail Ducks Gothic Coffee Mug Set

Nothing says "you complete me" or "your better/other half" than these whimsical, wildlife-themed lovers' mugs. Eclectus Parrots are an instant hit, wherever you see them. While the males are (understandably, and expectedly), brightly coloured, with green plumage and candy-corn yellow beak, the females are just as colourful, with their striking red and cobalt blue feathers.

Add a touch of nature to your apparel with this wildlife-themed top! 

When Bushtits come calling, it's a sudden avalanche of cuteness in the backyard -- because these social songbirds often show up in flocks of 10-30, feed briefly (and co-operatively) on the suet or whatever else they fancy (calling to each other constantly as they do so), and leave as quickly as they came. Once in a while, though, they will stay for 15-30 minutes. I photographed this damp fellow--who was caught in the morning rain--taking a moment to pause on the laurel bush. Some of his fellow Bushtits were actually bathing on the laurel leaves, like hummingbirds do. Photographed in early July 2016.

Stunning Varied Thrush on the Lawn Mug

It's not a Pacific Northwest winter unless you see the Varied Thrush. One of my favorite backyard birds to see (and a highly elusive one at that), this songbird has a stunning beauty to match the hauntingly beautiful timbre of its song. This handsome fellow was foraging in the backyard with several other wintering birds when I photographed him from the second floor--giving me a rare bird's eye view of him. We almost never see them during the summer when they spend that season northwards in Alaska, but the call of the colder seasons of the year brings them back to us. Photographed in mid-January 2017.

Cute Black-Capped Chickadee on the Branch Pickleball Paddle

Perched on a cherry tree is one of several resident Black-Capped Chickadees. Almost always in motion--particularly around the sunflower seed dispenser--this chubby backyard sentinel looked to be contemplating the future, with spring being just a week away. Photographed in mid-March 2018.

Cute Black-Capped Chickadee on Branch Classic Round Sticker

Springtime is a time of green ... and blues and other beautiful hues! Nothing sets the honeybees abuzz like the huge California Lilac that's blooming with hundreds of bluish-purple clusters on the front lawn. In fact, this bush resembles a purple beehive in late spring/early summer.
