Add a little character and whimsy to the office -- or office party -- with this wildlife-themed tie.  A Hooded Merganser drake puts in a surprise appearance in one of our newer local ponds. This one is warming up his vocal chops in hopes of impressing the two hens in his small flock.

Singer in the Making: Hooded Merganser Neck Tie

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

The first full day of snow in Metro Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, saw many fluffed up songbirds in the backyard perched on the fruit trees for most of the day, including at least two Cassiar Dark-Eyed Juncos (an intergrade of Slate-Colored and Oregon varieties), like this chubby little number here.  Photographed on December 9, 2016.

Handsome Tree Swallow: Bird on a Wire Neck Tie

Add a little character and whimsy to the office -- or office party -- with this wildlife-themed tie.  One of two Hooded Merganser drakes who was practising his courtship rituals (without benefit of a female audience). He must have been pretty surprised to see his maneuvers recorded!

A Surprised Hooded Merganser Neck Tie

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

Blue roses do not exist in nature. White roses are either dyed blue, or genetically manipulated to produce that rare hue. They are thus a symbol of nobility and regalness.

Elegant Powder Blue Roses Floral Tie

Add a little character to the office -- or office party -- with this whimsical, wildlife-themed tie.  The skeptical expression on this nuthatch's face seems to say, "Another photo? Really? Don't you have enough already?"  He probably doesn't believe that I don't camp out at the base of the old plum tree with camera and long lens in hand, waiting for him to make an appearance. There are at least three Red-Breasted Nuthatches (two males and one female) who visit the backyard regularly since our first encounter with them last year, and they have been getting progressively bolder and bolder (even more so than the Black-Capped Chickadees, whom this male will even boot off to get to the sunflower seeds).

A Skeptical Red-Breasted Nuthatch Neck Tie

Add a little character to the office -- or office party -- with this wildlife-themed tie.  A male Zebra Finch returns my gaze. These highly social birds and lovely singers are very comfortable around humans -- more than a few were inches from our faces (or feet, as they would share the same walking path) -- making it necessary to watch where we walked!

Zebra Finch on the Rocks Tie

Add a little character to the office -- or office party -- with this floral-themed tie, which features a repeating pattern of two-tone yellow and pink daylilies. Photographed in mid-July 2018 at a private garden at sunset.

Part brainteaser, part assemble-it-yourself art, this challenging, wildlife-themed puzzle is great for improving muscle memory. This 4.5-foot male green iguana was basking in both the attention of human visitors and the heat of the pre-noon sun during a show-and-tell session at the local zoo.

Profile of a Green Iguana Jigsaw Puzzle

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

I couldn't find an angle I liked with this two-tone Triandrus Daffodil until I did a few macro shots of it, and the seeming randomness of the streaks of red running rampant through this bright yellow flower seemed to me like a chaotically natural expression of art.

Stunning Two-Tone Red Yellow Monsella Tulips Light Switch Cover

A curious and very active Ruby-Crowned Kinglet explores a fruit-laden hawthorn bush (not for the berries, but for insects!) on a fine autumn afternoon. Photographed in early November 2020.

Cute Ruby-Crowned Kinglet Songbird on Bush Postcard

Part brainteaser, part assemble-it-yourself art, this challenging, wildlife-themed puzzle is great for improving muscle memory. 

They're not juniper berries, but this bird--which is rarely seen here in the Metro Vancouver area--clearly isn't finicky when it comes to winter fruits. This Townsend's Solitaire (another bird for my life list) materialized on our front lawn pyracantha bush on December 9, 2015, but it required two more visits more a week later to finally get proof of this handsome thrush.

Townsend's Solitaire Songbird on the Pyracantha Jigsaw Puzzle

Add a touch of feline to your apparel with this cat-themed top! 

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.

If there's one flower that epitomizes "calm", it's the chamomile! What better place to be soothed by the sight of these daisies. A purported panacea for many ills, the tea made from these caffeine-free flowers is also the perfect antidote to the stresses of the day.

In a Dreamy Field of Chamomile Yoga Mat

Add a touch of nature to treasured memories and moments with this wildlife-themed binder! The perfect choice for bird lovers! 

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 t 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.
