Saw more of the tiny Sanderlings at the Boundary Bay Regional Park beach, just before Valentine's Day 2017. This one was foraging on the shoreline with 20 others of its kind, dining on the remnants of clams that had been already picked apart by gulls.

Sanderling Sandpiper Dines on Clam at Beach Postcard

The pink flowers of these moth orchids blossomed in the week before the 2018 vernal equinox. Did you know that pink orchids not only represent femininity, grace, and joy, but are also are the flowers with which to celebrate the 14th and 28th wedding anniversaries?

Elegant Floral Pink Orchids Phalaenopsis on Black Postcard

A vigilant juvenile Anna's hummingbird keeps watch in one of our backyard fruit trees, vigorously guarding flower and nectar feeder against the (feathered) competition. Not even an extra-long camera lens can keep this little bruiser away. Photographed in late May 2018.

Watchful Anna's Hummingbird on the Fruit Tree Postcard

With a freshly caught vole clutched in its furry feet, a Short-Eared Owl surveys its hunting grounds for opportunistic Northern Harriers who would not hesitate to take advantage of the fruit of its hunting prowess. Sudden gusts of wind fluff this hunter's head feathers, revealing the short ear tufts for which this owl is named. Photographed on a late afternoon in late November 2017.

Stunning Short-Eared Owl with Vole Postcard

My introduction to the Satyr Comma / Anglewing. Apparently these little, bright orange butterflies are supposed to be skittish, but don't tell this beauty that ... it posed for several shots on a blade of marsh vegetation. Photographed on July 2, 2016 at Campbell Valley Regional Park.

Beautiful Orange Satyr Comma Butterfly Postcard

Yes, there is a Pebble Beach in Canada -- on Galiano Island. This Gulf Island is blessed with an abundance of natural scenic wonders, and Pebble Beach is worth the 30-minute trek. Walkers are greeted with this stunning and breathtaking vista of sky, sea, and land at the finish of their short journey. Photographed on July 3, 2016.

Pebble Beach, Galiano Island, British Columbia Postcard

An amble through Surrey Bend Regional Park on a hot summer day led to a chance encounter with an adult Bald Eagle and a cut of sushi that was just a bit too big for this raptor to lift off. Photographed in late July 2018.

Bald Eagle Tries to Fly Off with Salmon Postcard

Rufous Hummingbirds have usually left Metro Vancouver for Mexico by mid August, so it was a delight to see and photograph this exceedingly feisty straggler in the backyard. This little scrapper has been (successfully, for the past two days) giving grief to the juvenile male Anna's hummingbird who has owned the backyard for most of the summer (as well as the other feathered friends who visit), vigorously defending every flower and feeder in sight. This hybrid fruit tree branch has become its favorite perch, and gave me quite a few photographic opportunities. Photographed on September 4, 2016.

Bring a bit of feline with you, wherever you go, with this cat-themed tote! 

You'd never guess, from her playful and youthful manner, that Stella is actually 10 to 12 years older than she looks! This indoor sweetie is as likely to cuddle up to the laps of strangers as she is to those of her regular pair of humans, but she knows how to puts her paw down as far as dogs (especially big dogs) are concerned.

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

This little lady prefers blueberry blossom nectar over sugar water, giving this potted bush a thorough going over on a sunny spring afternoon and myself the opportunity to photograph a Rufous Hummingbird, nearly vertical with the tiny, bell-shaped white flowers she sips from. The backyard is just starting to come alive with birds after being relatively quiet for the past five weeks. Photographed in mid-May 2017.

Beautiful Female Northern Harrier in the Marsh Notebook

Beautiful Northern Harrier Hawk in the Marshes Golf Head Cover

An unexpectedly close encounter with a female Northern Harrier--who is a stunning study in brown--while walking the paths of the local wildlife area in early Spring 2017. This beautiful, owl-faced bird of prey, so often seen soaring the skies, was hunkered down in the marshes -- probably waiting out her next meal, a duck who had gone to ground.
