Final Adventures in BC

A long time ago in BC...
Okay, well not that long ago, I spent a lovely Sunday morning at the BC museum. This shaggy woolly mammoth was on display.
Just for my mycology loving girl (Ari), a display of mushrooms,
shaggy mushrooms
and flattened mushrooms.
And then the moose was on the loose, eek!
Followed by a big brown bear, yikes!
And the most fearsome of all, a wolverine, gulp!
This little fire belly frog swam up to say hello.
The bearded dragon was just hanging out.
Adult owl.
Cute fuzzy baby owl.
Canadian native (aboriginal) man in full regalia.
Mask
Eagle mask
Transformation mask.
Deer hide drum. (I made one of these while living in Alaska. I still need to paint a design on mine!)
Zounds! Is that Edward Cullen captured in a totem pole?

Entrance to Totem Pole Park.
How many animals can you recognize?
Eagle and beaver.

A trio of totems.
More animals to identify.
Beaver.
The latest addition to the park.
Last view of the totem poles.

My final day in Victoria was full of packing, book shopping, and tea drinking. I arrived home relaxed and full of writing inspiration.

I love these pictures. Reminds me of when I was a kid. My favorite part is the seal exhibit with the ocean sounds in the background.
