Elegant Floating Pink Lotus Flowers Neck Tie

Add a little character to the office -- or office party -- with this wildlife-themed tie.  

My closest encounter with a magnificent male Pileated Woodpecker, who was busy carving out a hole in a very tall tree. Rather than be spooked by the presence of a photographer nearby, this largest of North American woodpeckers would stop briefly to see who was rustling the dead leaves on the forest floor, and then resume his woodworking activities. Photographed on Galiano Island in the early evening of July 3, 2017.

Beautiful Pileated Woodpecker on the Tree Tie

Add a little character to the office -- or office party -- with this whimsical, wildlife-themed tie. 

Isn't she lovely? This female Rufous hummingbird poses calmly for my camera on the old plum tree in the backyard. With the very early arrival (and disappearance) of the males in March and April as they migrate to as far north as Alaska, we have had a veritable dearth of yardbirds. Her continued presence means that life will become much more "interesting" for the resident Anna's (particularly the males). Not coincidentally, we are also seeing more birds in the backyard now.

Cute Rufous Hummingbird on Plum Tree Branch Neck Tie

Add a little character to the office -- or office party -- with this wildlife-themed tie. 

My second (and closest) encounter with the magnificent cheetah on a hot afternoon in September 2014 at the local zoo. This big cat was pacing restlessly around in his cage, but he did stop once, and our eyes locked through the chain link during this moment. There is something so visceral about making a connection with wildlife.

Stunning Bald Eagle Takes to the Sky Tie

A Bald Eagle Takes to the Sky Tie

Add a touch of nature to the home or office with this wildlife-themed wall hanging, which features the inspirational quote "may dreams give you wings to soar new skies." 

The rapture of a raptor in flight! I wanted to have a closeup of this Bald Eagle roosting at the top a dead birch tree ... but it decided, at 30 feet away, that it was time to go. The initial downstroke of its wings was the most dramatic part of its takeoff.

WWN Breathtaking Bald Eagle Takes to the Sky

Add a little character to the office -- or office party -- with this wildlife-themed tie.  

An adult Bald Eagle flies into the sunset at the Wireless 40 Station in Ladner, British Columbia. We saw 40-50 Bald Eagles (a conservative estimate) of various ages in this area in late December 2016--most were roosting high in the tops of trees scattered through this dog park.

Breathtaking Bald Eagle in Winter Sunset Flight Tie

Add a touch of nature to any room with this wildlife-themed wall hanging.  

A young sub-adult male Anna's hummingbird was taking five in the scarlet firethorn next to its pommes on an unseasonably prolonged cold snap. Unlike most other birds who frequent this bush in the fall and winter, he didn't seem to mind that I wrestled the window open (however softly I did it), and took a few shots of him next to the bunch of berries that's almost as big as he is. Photographed in mid-December 2016.

Anna's Hummingbird Poses with the Pyracantha Canvas Print

Say goodbye to boring and get noticed with these double-sided, wildlife-themed business cards! 

One of three Short-Eared Owls we saw hunting at Boundary Bay Wildlife Management Area on a winter afternoon. Not the first time I've seen a Shortie, but it is the closest I have come to photographing one. Ironically, it did fly within 15 feet of my camera, but my long lens had problems focusing on it at such close range!

Festive Red White Floral Poinsettias Large Christmas Stocking

The start of the growing season means the return of the diminutive but feisty Rufous Hummingbirds to Metro Vancouver. From March through August, their presence means increased competition for nectar feeders and flowers for the resident Anna's hummingbirds. This fellow was one of five Rufouses to visit the Richmond Nature Park regularly on an early spring day. We witnessed extremely vocal and physical territorial disputes (which were, rather comically, inversely proportional to the size of the combatants). Photographed on April 4, 2016.

Sitting Pretty: Male Rufous Hummingbird Keychain

Add a touch of nature and whimsy to your laptop or computer with this whimsical group photo and wildlife-themed mousepad. 

The second time I've seen Dunlins since first spotting a small flock huddled together in their breeding plumage (with their trademark black belly patches on a cold spring day on the Iona Jetty in 2010). Indulging in a spot of feeding on the shoreline were three were part of a larger group of 10-12, who were fraternizing with a larger flock of Sanderlings (60) and a single out-of-season Semipalmated Plover (not pictured here).

Stunning American Avocets Birds on the Beach Cutting Board

These elegant wading birds are 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.
