October 4 celebrated the Feast of St. Assisi, the patron saint of animals. It has also been designated World Animal day, so this is perfect timing, says Where’s my backpack? to share our animal photos. Perfect timing for me, too, since I’ve recently returned from a visit to the San Diego Zoo, where my camera caught many animals just hanging around and being their charming selves.
Ok, ok. You can have a Twinkie, but you’d better be hungry for dinner.
Just click on any of the photos to access larger images in the photo gallery. (My apologies for some of the incorrect designations [gazelle, not antelope; bonobo, not orangutang; etc.] I’m trying out the gallery style and still have a few kinks to work out)

Balancing act
Looking for Mr. Rudolph
Just wishin’ and hopin’ and plannin’ and dreamin’
Hanging around
Wake me up when it’s tea time
Let me out and I’ll show you how cuddly I can be
You take the high road and I’ll take the low road
Having double-jointed knees comes in handy for my yoga class
Say what?
These are the latest ear fashions, dahling.
Twin Peaks
I’m so pretty, oh so pretty (pygmy hippo)
