Add a touch of whimsy to your dining experience with this Food Under Flash series fruit-themed placemat.  

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.

Sometimes a mistake can be the path to a new technique. This Japanese Shaga, a small but ornate beardless iris also rather romantically known as the butterfly flower for its delicate, wing-like petals, was actually photographed outdoors under natural daylight after I forgot to reset shutter speed and aperture settings from the previous photo.

Strikingly colored winterberries have already ripened by late fall at the Boundary Bay Wildlife Management Area in Delta, British Columbia, Canada. One can't help but be dazzled by the scarlet masses of this deciduous holly tree, which keep their crimson hues all the way through winter (if they haven't already been eaten by birds).

With its masses of stunning golden flowers, Yellow False Indigo is pretty to look at, but poisonous to humans. This member of the (wild) pea family doubles as an important food source for some butterfly species. Photographed on July 10, 2016 at the UBC Botanical Garden.

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!

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.

Larkspur is one of my favorite garden flowers, but I had never before seen these tall flowers in this deliciously lovely shade of (royal) blue. These vividly colored delphiniums were photographed at a local public garden in the spring of 2015, and the gardener and master landscaper was more than happy to illuminate me with their backstory.

My second visit to the Maplewood Conservation Area in North Vancouver produced meetings with not two, but six blacktail deer in a clearing ... four fawns and two does who seemed completely at ease with the small group of photographers in their midst. The younger ones seemed almost as curious about the humans as we were about them! This fawn was extremely happy to be alive, bounding in a very Bambi-esque manner through the forest! Photographed in late August 2016.

A number of small, green, duckweed-covered frogs were seen frequenting a pond just outside of the Minnekhada Lodge, but this cute little fellow took the cake with his unflappable "pose on a hose", doing double duty as a "lifefrog on duty." Photographed in mid-August 2016.

Add a touch of nature to your tumbler with this wildlife-themed design!

Brown Creepers are common all-year-round residents in Metro Vancouver, but it's easy to miss seeing these masters of disguise in the forest. This is the closest I have come to photographing this extremely well-camouflaged bird, and seeing the meal in its bill was a nice added bonus.
