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

Black Oystercatchers are one of the most approachable shorebirds in Metro Vancouver. Some will even walk right up to you--giving you the chance for some great photo opportunities. I like this shot because there's a blue background (water) and grey (log) to set off that striking red bill, yellow eye, pink legs, and black and brown plumage.

Perfectly reflected in the tranquil waters of this pond is this Northern Pintail drake. They may be most commonly seen in West Coast winters, but I've encountered these ducks all year round at the Reifel Migratory Bird Sanctuary.

Reflections of a Northern Pintail Duck Photo Print

This female Rufous Hummingbird has developed a fondness for many of our flowering plants, including the nectar from the first Kniphofia to bloom in our backyard! Miss R. now owns the garden, scrutinizing every creature who shows up -- bird, squirrel, and everyone else!

Considering that this was a sensitive time (nesting season) for the Greater Sandhill Cranes, I'm surprised that some of the parents had actually come to shore ... to feed from human hands! Photographed at the local bird sanctuary.

These two Wood Ducks could not possibly be any closer! Intimacy with your significant other means never having to be embarrassed just because a camera lens happens to be angled your way.

Beautiful Touching Moment Between Wood Ducks Photo Print

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. 

There was just enough afternoon sunlight left to reflect the blue skies in the waters, paint a catchlight in this Bufflehead's eyes, and cast a soft glow on her face. 

With fall giving way to winter in just another week, we are seeing more and more of these tiny diving seaducks -- but always in small groups that tend to stay in waters far, far from human view. Though not skittish like Hooded Mergansers tend to be, I have yet to see a single Bufflehead set a webbed toe on land.

Sweet Bufflehead Duck on Sunlit Waters Photo Print

Easily recognizable from far away by virtue of their enormous bills, Northern Shovelers usually don't allow closeups. While they will generally not fly off at the first sight of humans, they do keep themselves at a significant distance from our cameras and spotting scopes, frequenting nearby bodies of water or sandbars. This fellow, on the other hand, was just inches from me, feeding just inches from the shore at the local wildlife habitat for quite a few moments before moving on--not the least disturbed by the presence of my lens.

Far easier to distinguish than the Tundra Swan and Trumpeter Swan by virtue of its facial knob and bright orange bill, a Mute Swan looks into my lens as it leisurely plies the waters of Lost Lagoon at Stanley Park.

Sometimes a mistake can be the path to a new technique. This Crested Iris was actually photographed outdoors under natural daylight after I forgot to reset shutter speed and aperture settings from the previous photo.

Elegant White Floral Crested Iris Flower Golf Head Cover

Use this floral-themed trivet to protect delicate surfaces, tables, and countertops from hot pots, or as an accent piece for the dining room or kitchen.

Truly an "out-of-water" flower! With the exception of its mesmerizing spore-like center, this large blue anemone (not the sea-dwelling creature) could almost be a daisy. Photographed at the VanDusen Botanical Gardens.

Elegant Blue Anemone Flower Trivet

Add a touch of nature to treasured memories and moments with this wildlife-themed binder! The perfect choice for bird lovers! Normally, I’d prefer not to show photos with cages, but it’s less distracting in the case of these subjects because of my distance from both them and the bars. This gorgeous pair of Golden Eagles is being rehabilitated at the Orphaned Wildlife Rehabilitation Society (O.W.L.) for eventual release back into the wild.

Golden Eagles: Beauties Thru the Bars Binder

Usually the Northern Flickers I meet like to keep a rather "discreet" 50-foot distance between themselves and the photographer. For some inexplicable reason, this male Red-Shafted decided that he was best admired, not just high up in the tree, but on the ground as well ... some 6.5 feet away!

Add a touch of nature to every room in your home with this forest-themed switchplate cover! 

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.

Add a touch of nature and wonder to your walls with this wildlife-themed decal! The perfect choice for bird lovers!

The ladies of the bird world may have the "disinterested" look perfected when it comes to males and their courtship antics, but once in a while, the girls will pull something really interesting out of the bag. This female Hooded Merganser knows the camera is trained on her! I'd say she's ready for the catwalk, er, runway! Her pose caps off an eventful day where I saw a flock of Hooded Mergansers, Common Goldeneye, Bufflehead, American Coot, and an out-of-town Eurasian Wigeon at the local pond!
