So here I am, with my backpack on and my two traveling companions, Strike and Katrina. Strike is an armadillo from Texas and Katrina is a crocheted squid.
These are my Flat Stanleys, the critters I’m taking with me to photograph in various places around the continent.
The backpack, on the other hand, is heavy but not too heavy. I think this is gonna work out just fine.
Getting the Hang of Thursdays 
nice armadillo…
Ain’t it though… misses his mate however 🙂
