The Noses of BC: An Art Retrospective

Kathryn has a long standing tradition of putting up with my nonsense, and part of that tradition involves letting me take pictures of her patting the noses of anything vaguely nose-pattable that we come across in our travels. Here's a selection of my favorites since we moved to BC. First off we have a statue of some otters in Victoria with eminently pattable noses.
There's a coffee shop in downtown Vancouver not far from the library which inexplicably has a giant statue of a cow in front of it. This creates a prime opportunity for nonsensical nose patting.
And rounding out the set, this native spirit carving resides at the back of the art gallery and was crying out for some attention this summer.
There's a giraffe sanctuary and possibly a tame rhino coming up in Africa, so look forward to more nose stroking in the coming months :)
