An "urban" Rough-Legged Hawk perches precariously on the top of a spindly young tree in Tsawwassen, British Columbia, Canada. As I have seen this raptor several times near the local shopping mall, I can only assume that this is its territory--before and after development. Photographed on a late afternoon in mid-January 2018.

Stunning Rough-Legged Hawk in the Tree Postcard

This lovely profusion of small white flowers was found decorating the main "square" of the VanDusen Botanical Garden.  Bridal Wreath Spirea is relatively easy to care for, but can grow up to 10 feet tall and wide if not pruned.

Beautiful Floral Bridalwreath Spiraea Postcard

One of several bumblebees on the flowering carrot in our backyard. We don't usually get as many of these fuzzy insects as we do the honeybees, but the former can be quite large (defying the laws of physics and aviation at times) and generally much easier to photograph than the latter.

Bumblebee on Flowering Carrot Postcard

My first encounter with the Marsh Wren, who was charming me with an enchanting and complex aria at the local wildlife refuge. These little birds are heard much, much more often than they are seen. Ever since then, 99% of the wrens I have seen are Marsh Wrens!!

Beautiful Marsh Wren Songbird in the Reeds Postcard

The first time I've had the opportunity to shoot a Bewick's Wren out in the open, and at fairly close range. This beautiful long-tailed songbird must have sensed that I wanted to photograph it, and returned my curiosity with its own by posing on this branch for a few moments. Photographed in January 2017.

Curious Bewick's Wren Songbird on Branch Postcard

A dark, overcast day lends a painting-like effect to my photo of this Chestnut-Backed Chickadee, who was perched on one of the fruit trees in our backyard and in no particular hurry to nab a seed from the hanging feeding stations.

This stunning male Yellow-Rumped Warbler (Audubon variety) was so busy engaged in the pursuit of tasty green worms in this red-leafed cherry tree that he was unaware of the photographer tracking his every move. This butterbutt was photographed in early May 2017 on an unseasonably warm and sunny spring day.

Cute Wilson's Warbler Songbird on the Grapevine Magnet

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.

Meditations on a squash! This Pacific Tree Frog was seeking a few moments of serenity on a ripening squash. My subject blended in with the green colors of its environment, eluding all but the most keen observers. When we had returned from a circuit of the gardens, s/he was still sitting there. Photographed in late August 2016 at the UBC Botanical Garden.
