chainsaw art mcbride 2

These pictures are from our summer road trip through British Columbia. This guy was at the roadside by the gas station in McBride. Chetwynd, further north, is without a doubt the go-to town for chainsaw sculpture. They have an annual competition and the main street is lined with super intricate and ambitious works (see some here). I kind of preferred these modest, smiling animals. I regret that I did not get the artist's name. I was afraid to chat with him in case the words, "I will buy that great big rabbit" popped out of my mouth by mistake.

Those bears looked like they wanted a new home in the city too. It must have been like standing in front of the kitten cages at the Humane Society.

Oh, you shoulda said it. "I will buy that great big rabbit"!

What order of beast is he nuzzling?

For gratuitous use of the Penguin Cafe Orchestra...$400 fine.
Those cats look unhealthy.

they do look kind of slo-mo. these ones are staggering around too. (YouTube seems to have been invented for prog rock fans and kitten-obssessers)
