I need a little palette cleansing after all those fake Midwestern totem poles—this is much better. Besides, this week Canada is celebrating its sesquicentennial, and it’s nice to see that the festivities there are including all Canadians.
Happy 150th, Canada—and happy Canada Day later this week!

Do you know about Emily Carr or her work? She was a fascinating woman who, at middle age began to travel into the indigenous villages and made paintings of their totem poles. She also was a writer. I have a book of her complete writings as one of my prized possessions.
Yes! I love her work. There was a fantastic exhibit of her paintings the last time I was at the RBCM in Victoria. I’d love to read her writings.
