Postcard Travels with Roland Poland - Week10 Canada

Xui Xong, our canine hero's benefactor, is on business in Toronto.  Mrs Xong fancies a new Arctic fox coat and takes Roland Poland up north for a few days.
He writes to his brother Malcolm back home in Carlisle.

Hi Malcolm,
Went north to Hudson Bay on the Polar Bear Express.
Joined a dog sled team for a few days.  Great bunch
of lads but we got fed on raw fish - how they can live on cat food
all the time is beyond me - yuck.
See ya bro'
RP

Here is the page I made in his travel book.
I have used stamps of Canada geese and maple leaves and a photo of a painting of Niagara Falls.  On the right is a photo of Lake Louise in Banff and the aeroplanes are for my Dad who learned to fly there during the war.

The postcard is made by sponging colour onto a base card using ripped pieces of paper as masks.  The running dog team is drawn with a fine marker and the husky dogs are a stamp from Clarity.
Thank you very much for all your kind comments and I do hope you will visit all the other participants in this wonderful around the world challenge.

    Wow Janet, your postcards and Roland's messages get better and better with each passing week. The running dog team is amazing. Can't wait for Roland's next adventure.

    Poor old Roland having to work for his dinner for a change, although it did sound like he enjoyed getting a piece of the action! he might need to head back to that dreadful poodle parlour... M

    Thanks for your visit, Janet. Doodling is literally no-brain activity. BTW, I like your dog sled. We just heard that the leader in the Idirod is a woman.

    What?! No duty free liquor involved in this week's escapade? And no sled dog femme fatale? Roland has surely turned over a new (maple) leaf! Good lad to get all of that fresh air and exercise instead!
