Winter Scenes Stickers

With a fresh dusting of snow included

A remote farmhouse sits surrounded by snow covered fields in this landscape in the North Pennines near the town of Stanhope. The North Pennines are always one of the first areas in the North of England to get snow due to height of most of the hills.

"Let now the chimneys blaze And cups o’erflow with wine, Let well-turned words amaze With harmony divine. Now yellow waxen lights Shall wait on honey love While youthful revels, masques, and courtly sights Sleep’s leaden spells remove" Now Winter Nights Enlarge BY THOMAS CAMPION

Peace at Christmas T-Shirt: Snowy Winter scene featuring the Red fox and Cardinal. Let the scene take you to a mountain getaway, as you sip your favorite hot beverage.

This is an original illustration of a fresh snow scene with the pun “snow place like home” written underneath the illustration.

Perfectly reflected in the tranquil waters of this pond is this Northern Pintail drake. They may be most commonly seen in West Coast winters, but I've encountered these ducks almost all year round at the Reifel Migratory Bird Sanctuary.

Reflections, old building, newer building, evolution of a downtown.

An unusually late-staying migrant dressed in his best breeding finery, this Ruddy Turnstone was attracting wildlife photographers with his foraging techniques (lifting clumps of seaweed much bigger (and probably heavier) than himself) on the shore, and in the process of scrounging up a late lunch, walking right into the midst of the long-lens-toting paparazzi, who were often forced to back up! Photographed at the Tsawwassen Ferry Jetty in November 2015.

Extremely cold winter morning hiking through the conservation area just outside Calgary. It was magical.

A male Green-Winged Teal enjoys the calm waters of Piper Spit/Burnaby Lake. This dabbling duck is tied with the Bufflehead, a diving duck, for the title of the smallest ducks in North America. Only at Burnaby Lake can we see these ducks literally (and quite fearlessly) at our feet, chasing ducks much bigger than themselves. Photographed in January 2015, just as the sunset was touching the waters of the Piper Spit.

This is the third sighting I have had of this lovely but elusive songbird in the yard, but this is the only time I have seen it out in the open, perfectly and calmly posed on the pyracantha coccinea (Scarlet Firethorn), whose reddish-orange berries are a big hit with the usual repertoire of wintering birds in Metro Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The warm yellow background--courtesy of the leaves of the neighbor's weeping alder--adds a golden, autumn-y touch to this image! This photo was featured in the 2018 Wild Birds Unlimited Calendar, the 2018 Nature Canada Calendar, the 2020 Canadian Geographic Photo Club Calendar, and the 2021 Canadian Geographic 365-page-a-day Calendar.

A tiny shorebird often seen poking along Metro Vancouver winter shores in medium- to large-sized flocks, Sanderlings are uncommonly bold around humans, going about their business of gathering food while patently ignoring us.

I love Paris! And if you do, too, I know you will love my photography.

Sanderlings are tiny -- and surprisingly, quite approachable -- migratory shorebirds that can be easily found at Vancouver beaches in the coldest winter months.

The rounder the bird, the cuter it is! This adult songbird was all fluffed up for the sub-zero temperatures that hit Metro Vancouver during the 2018 Great Backyard Bird Count weekend. Taken at the dyke entrance to Boundary Bay Regional Park in Tsawwassen, British Columbia, Canada.

That's no baby -- she's a lady! Looking deceptively like a baby duck, this full grown Bufflehead hen struck the perfect pose for me at one of the inner ponds at the Reifel Migratory Bird Sanctuary. Curious "sentries" like this one will often detach themselves from the flock to satisfy their curiosity about those lenses pointed in their direction. There was just enough afternoon sunlight left to reflect the blue skies in the waters, paint a catchlight in this Bufflehead's eyes, and cast a soft glow on her face.

Metro Vancouver's second snowstorm of the winter season finally brought the lovely and much anticipated male Varied Thrush to my backyard, where he spent the greater part of the day excavating the white stuff for tasty grubs. With their dazzling palette of orange, grey, and black hues, this reclusive songbird is a welcome sight during the monochromatic winter months. Photographed in mid-February 2019.

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.
