Add a touch of nature and whimsy to the bathroom with this wildlife-themed bath mat!  

You can tell when it's springtime in Metro Vancouver, because the Canada Goose will be engaging in some spectacular chases and territorial tussles. This "spat at Piper Spit" was photographed at Burnaby Lake in spring 2015.

Wild (Canada) Goose Chase Bath Mat

Add a touch of nature to the bathroom with this wildlife-themed bath mat!  This late afternoon closeup of a male Wood Duck at the local wildlife habitat ensured that the fading winter sun's rays weren't casting harsh shadows on my subject. This handsome fellow clearly knew that I wanted solos of him, and was more than happy to oblige me with several angles. Based on the original photography of W.H. Sim. All Rights Reserved.

Wood Duck Drake on Gravel Bathroom Mat

Add a touch of nature to the bathroom with this wildlife-themed bath mat!  

The sudden appearance of three Bald Eagles--working the waters of Boundary Bay Regional Park--sends thousands of American Wigeons (and the odd Northern Pintail) into the sunny but chilly late November skies.

Stunning Winter Ducks in Flight Bath Mat

Add a touch of nature to the bathroom with this wildlife-themed bath mat!  Sanderlings are tiny -- and surprisingly, quite approachable -- migratory shorebirds which can be easily found on Vancouver beaches in the coldest winter months. This one was daintily picking its way through the heavily pebbled shoreline. Photographed on a very sunny and busy winter afternoon at Boundary Bay Regional Park.

I could not pass up an opportunity to photograph these newly bloomed orange Asiatic Tiger lilies, freshly anointed with rain drops from a shower earlier in the afternoon. Photographed in early June 2017.

Add a touch of nature to the bathroom with this floral-themed bath mat! 

These hydrangea flowers were grown from a donation in which all but one of the three donor plants had died--but the sole survivor proved to be extremely prolific, and generated big fluffy blossoms in the softest pastel shades of pink, purple, and blue.

Heavenly Baby Blue Hydrangeas Bath Mat

Add a touch of nature to the bathroom with this elegant, wildlife-themed bath mat! Perfect for bird lovers!

Being an escapee from an Oregon farm did not diminish the appeal of this adult male Mandarin Duck, whose flight to freedom was rewarded with a constant supply of bird seed and the company of Wood Ducks at Piper Spit. I was gifted with the privilege of his metamorphosis over many agonizingly slow months, as I watched him exchange his post-breeding plumage for the magnificent feathers and stunning color palette that make him a dream to photograph (and a hit with the females of his kind). Mother Nature left nothing to the artist's imagination when she made this creature! Photographed at Burnaby Lake in mid-October 2018.

Beautiful Mandarin Duck in the Pond Bath Mat

Add a touch of nature to the bathroom with this floral-themed bath mat!  Community gardens are a wonderful place to see not just veggies and fruits, but a great variety of beautiful flowers. These beardless purple irises caught my eye at Richmond's Terra Nova Rural Park in late spring 2015.

Dutch Iris Purple Sensation Bath Mat

Use this wildlife-themed trivet to protect delicate surfaces, tables, and countertops from hot pots, or as an accent piece for the dining room or kitchen.

The fly I just caught was THAT big! This handsome male Rufous Hummingbird was photographed at one of the nectar feeders at the Reifel Migratory Bird Sanctuary in mid-May 2016. These feisty little hummingbirds are a popular attraction in Metro Vancouver, and can be seen here patronizing nectar feeders from March through August, although warm spells late into the fall in 2015 saw a few overstaying their welcome until the end of October!

Stunning Male Rufous Hummingbird Flying Jewel Trivet

Add a touch of nature and wonder to your walls with this wildlife-themed decal! Perfect for bird lovers!

With the deep blue of the water in the background, I could not have asked for better light or a better pose with this shot (I did hope to be a little closer to my subject, though!) Three of these very active and adorable buntings were hopping up and down the shoreline at the Tsawwassen Ferry Jetty on a sunny but very breezy evening! Lapland Longspurs are delightful little songbirds that winter in Metro Vancouver but spend their summers in the high Arctic. Photographed on October 17, 2016.

Lapland Longspur on a Sunlit Log Wall Decal

Hold the winning "wild" card with these whimsical, nature-themed playing cards! 

Seems like everyone's got a weakness for nuts and seeds, including this Bewick's Wren. Their complex and euphonic repertoire more than makes up for their understated brown plumage. Photographed in late March 2021.

Bewick's Wren Songbird on Treestump Poker Cards

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

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 your laptop or computer with this wildlife-themed mousepad. The perfect choice for bird lovers! 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.

Cute Black-Capped Chickadee on Pear Tree Mouse Pad

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

The perfect choice for bird lovers! I have never met a more photogenic and well-behaved Northern Pintail. This one was photographed (and exchanging the odd word or two) with a small flock of Northern Pintails and Mallards near the observation tower, just a few minutes before closing time at the Reifel Migratory Bird Sanctuary.

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.
