Cutting edge

Summer on Vancouver Island is the time for large-scale wood carving or driftwood sculptures. We discovered a whole new installation in "downtown" Gold River (population 1,212). Wolves, bears, crabs, eagles, fish; our native totemic species. With one exception:

Bears (with teddy bear mascots) and a pair of chimps (or sasquatches). Very modern, up-to-date chimps. (Probably sasquatches.)

Already addicted to his phone. It's a Sassung™.

And another modern bear:

Must have his coffee!

Selfies

I thought I was taking photos of pretty rocks.

I didn't even notice the crab and limpet until I got home.

And not until I looked closely, did I see the many photos of my granddaughter and me. And the rampaging dinosaur.

(You probably need to click on this to see it full-size to find the selfies. Or an even larger photo is on Flickr. There, click on Download to see the "View full size" link, then arrow right until you find the bubbles.)

Selfie, with elephant

. . . At least, it looks like an angry elephant to me.

Garden decoration, Beach Grove.

One more week 'till Christmas. Too much to do, in too short a time. I'm glad someone else had time to decorate their yard.
