Emily Carr statue in downtown Victoria, British Co

Emily Carr statue in downtown Victoria, British Columbia features Emily seated with her sketchpad, her Japanese monkey “Woo” on her shoulder, and her dog “Billie” standing nearby. Emily Carr was a Canadian artist and writer who was inspired by the Indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest Coast. Carr was born in Victoria and was one of the earliest chroniclers of life in British Columbia.⁠

Woke up to a layer of white this morning. It is pretty, but it's way too early. With colder than normal temperatures on the horizon (highs just below freezing), the snow is likely to stick around for at least a week. According to the weatherperson on the radio this morning, snow in October in southern Manitoba is normal; it sticking around is not!

I find living statues fascinating. A living statue is a street artist who poses as a statue or mannequin, usually with realistic statue-like makeup, sometimes for hours at a time. I saw this one in Seattle a few years ago.⁠
