| "Arrival of H.M.S. Reindeer at Chemainus 1869"
| | "Julia Askew 1871-1942: First white child born in Chemainus"
No, I'm not sure why this is something to commemorate.
| I like the childish artistic style of this mural.

This very long mural has such detail, it looks almost like a photograph.

| | "Memories of a Chinese Boy"
| "Pass the Torch"
I repeat my apology about the harsh shadows.

| Another mural about the timber industry.
| | A mural with accompanying statues, giving it a real sense of depth.

| Somehow, the mural's background makes the building look run-down. (It's not.)
| | "First Chemainus Sawmill", the last mural I spotted in town, is attached
to a working waterwheel.
| A cute statue of an old couple.

| Picnic Dinner
|
|
|
|
| Part of our picnic dinner: celery, a sample of blue cheese, 5-year-aged
cheddar from Quebec (good; simultaneously sharp and creamy), ciabatta
roll, and olives. The cheeses came from Hilary's Cheese; the bread came from True Grain Bread. The olive
container holds jalapeno-stuffed olives, garlic-stuffed olives, dark
olives, and a button mushroom salad.
| Cinnamon-raisin rolls from True Grain Bread.
|
At our picnic, we also had german pretzel bread, a french chocolate
roll, a plum, and a grapefruit. Some of our leftover picnic food we
saved for breakfast the next morning.
