Hooded Merganser Mugs
Description: One of my most fascinating encounters to date: a small co-ed flock of Hooded Mergansers put in a two-hour "cameo" appearance (and extended courtship displays) at Centennial Beach in early February 2015. For more than half an hour, I was totally entranced by the courtship displays of the four males as they attempted to entice the two females into noticing them with head raises, bobs, and frog-like croaking. The ladies, of course, were less than impressed. Photographed at Boundary Bay Regional Park, in Tsawwassen, BC, Canada.
Description: Under gilded cathedral arches, hooded worshippers crowd a bloodstained altar as a terrified man struggles against grasping hands. Kyrie Eleison looms above the ritual, while a monstrous eye peers through torn crimson drapery. Premium quality pieces from Dashery powered by Teepublic carry this gothic horror onto heavyweight T-Shirts and soft fleece Hoodies. Candlelit gold, visceral scarlet inks and dense comic book brushwork turn the scene into a sinister pulp nightmare.
