Looking to score a birdie for your round of golf? You're guaranteed one--in a manner of speaking--with this wildlife-themed club head cover, which features a Cinnamon Teal duck on the rocks at the local pond!

With their russet plumage, Cinnamon Teals are aptly named, but their beauty is often not easy to capture, as these birds make themselves scarce, even when they do put in an appearance. Rarely seen in Metro Vancouver in anything but the smallest of flocks, these small dabbling ducks are the largest of the three Teal species who frequent the Pacific Northwest in the spring and summer. Photographed at Burnaby Lake's Piper Spit on May 31, 2015.

Stunning Cinnamon Teal Duck on Rock Golf Head Cover

Add a touch of nature to your golf game with this floral-themed putter head cover!

Marigolds aren't just eye candy; they've been used for culinary (teas, salads) and medicinal (anti-inflammatory) purposes for hundreds of years in European cultures. These beautiful, aromatic and showy blooms bloom all summer long into fall and even until the first frost. They are a natural mosquito repellent, and may also keep flower munchers like deer from the pride and joy in your garden. Photographed in mid June and mid July 2016 at local public and private gardens.

A Medley of Red Yellow and Orange Marigolds Golf Head Cover

Looking to score a birdie for your round of golf? You're guaranteed one--in a manner of speaking--with this wildlife-themed putter head cover, which features a beautiful female Rufous hummingbird sipping blueberry blossom nectar in the spring!

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.

Rufous Hummingbird Sips Blueberry Blossom Nectar Golf Head Cover

Looking to score a birdie for your round of golf? You're guaranteed one--in a manner of speaking--with this wildlife-themed club head cover, which features one of the world's most recognizable birds.

With his bright white bib, this handsome domestic Mallard (of the Duclair designer "persuasion") was definitely the odd duck out at the local wildlife sanctuary. That didn't stop him from charming the photographers in his midst, and moving his way to the forefront of the feeding frenzy that included many, many wild Mallards.

Domestic Mallard Duclair Bibbed Odd Duck Golf Head Cover

Add a touch of nature with your golf game with this floral-themed putter head cover!

Also known as "Red Star" and "Rosy Posy" , I found a bed of these small but hardy South African perennials flourishing in one of our local public gardens. Summer brings forth bright pink star-shaped flowers with their telltale hidden hearts -- low growing plants that make great ground cover.

Beautiful Pensive Wood Duck in the Marsh Golf Head Cover

Perched on a fallen log (and living up to his name) is this colourful drake, one of several Wood Duck “fixtures” at Piper Spit. Burnaby Lake is home to the largest concentrations of Wood Ducks–hands down, the most colourful waterfowl you’ll find in Metro Vancouver, Canada.

WWN Pensive Wood Duck at the Lake

Add a touch of nature with your golf game with this floral-themed putter head cover!

Also available in white, spoonwood (or calico bush) flowers resemble the underside (“ribs”) of umbrellas. They look like pretty little pink umbrellas, don't they? Just don’t eat or touch kalmia latifolia, aka mountain laurel; all parts are poisonous!

Mountain Laurel: Beauty with a Price Golf Head Cover

Need a birdie for your round of golf? You're guaranteed one--in a manner of speaking--with this whimsical, wildlife-themed putter head cover, which features a Bluebird, one of the most celebrated heralds of spring!

My second encounter with a male Mountain Bluebird. We are gifted, albeit very briefly, with the presence of these beautiful songbirds at the start of the spring season before they head to higher ground to breed. Those stunning cerulean colors stand out on a dreary landscape, even from a distance. When he wasn't busy diving for insects on the local beach, he was highpointing it on driftwood and stalks of dessicated tansy. Photographed at Boundary Bay Regional Park in early spring 2017.

Beautiful Mountain Bluebird Golf Head Cover

Bring a bit of nature with you, wherever you go, with this wildlife-themed tote! 

This male Tree Swallow appears to be quite taken with this particular nestbox ... that look says "mine, all mine." Photographed in late March 2016. These small bluebirds have shown up almost a month later than last year, and the initial flocks are much smaller, too. Also absent at this time are the greyer females, which at the same time last year were already here. Nevertheless, it's still a wonderful experience to see these little birds in action over the water and in the skies.

Tree Swallow Songbird in Nestbox Tote Bag

Add a touch of nature to the kitchen with this wildlife-themed kitchen towel! This was a Christmas Day filled with plenty of birds in the backyard -- including this rather introspective Black-Capped Chickadee looking skyward on the pear tree. Sunny skies and chilly temps made my puffed up and sleepy feathered friends reluctant to stir from their perches, and that led to a few opportunities for closeups of birds I normally find difficult to get stills of.

Stunning Anna's Hummingbird Mom on Nest Throw Pillow

This is the second hummingbird nest I've found. An Anna's hummingbird second-time mother (who had just raised two babies to adulthood a few days before successfully mating again) sits on her precious nest, lovingly and painstakingly made with lichen, moss, and spidersilk.

WWN Anna's Hummingbird Mother on Nest

A newly adult Canada Goose grooms itself at Piper Spit, Burnaby Lake, on a cloudy fall day, the angular and swan-like curve of its neck conveying an almost regal quality to this bird. Although migratory birds in many parts of the world, some Canada Geese are all-year-round residents in Metro Vancouver and the Pacific Northwest. Photographed in early November 2016.

Canada Goose on the Lake Keychain

Gold on blue make such beautiful hues. Nothing attracts the honeybees more spectacularly than the huge California Lilac that blooms with hundreds of bluish-purple clusters on the front lawn. Like a magnet, this bush draws dozens and dozens of these tireless winged workers from late spring through early summer.

WWN Suave & Debonair Domestic Duclair Bibbed Mallard

Our second year globe artichokes are no slouch when it comes to flaunting the "purple hair", either. Should you be one of those backyard gardeners who let their artichokes grow old and arthritic--instead of picking them at their juiciest, tastiest stage, this is the lovely result, and a consolation prize of sorts. Photographed in late July 2016.
