Back In The Groove!

Trying to get back into the routine, so we'll start with the postcards which have been waiting patiently to have their turn in the sun:

The North facade of the Old Water Tower in Chicago IL, at Christmas. I think it's a great old building!

Lovely view of Lake Harriet, Minneapolis MN.

This card is from Poland with rubber boots on display. The sender also included a small coin from their country.

Festivities in honor of Saint-Jean, the protector of Porto City, Portugal.

From Russia, a painting by Swedish artist Karl Larson showing Christmas Eve as the children wait in anticipation to be allowed to come into the room where the Christmas decorations are. How sweet!

The Cathedral and Bell Tower of Erice, in Sicily.

Siberian Jay bird in Finland.

The UN Building in NY City.

A great old card depicting the Beatles at the launch of their Sgt. Pepper album.

This Beatle card was sent to me from China. On the back is printed "To usher in the Beatles new masterpiece, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart Club Band, Brian Epstein hosted a small soiree for an elite retinue of media personnel at his home in London's Belgravia. The Beatles. fully decked in their current hippy regalia, were a bit worse for wear due to the ingestion of some illicit substance prior to the gathering, although they happily posed for the photographers, one of whom was a young American named Linda Eastman. If anything, it meant the transformation of John that evening. Evidently the lifestyle he was adopting was taking a considerable toll on him. May 19. 1967" If you look closely, you can see they are wearing the same clothes as in the photograph right above this one!

And one of the most famous album covers of all time!

Another Bunch

A painting on driftwood of an anchor, from England.

Chinese opera performers, in the Kunqu style, sent from US.

Blythe doll with devil and angel at her ears.

All about Lupins from Canada. Because they grow wild and there is such a variety, people think they are a natural species, but they were introduced to the area as ornamental flowers from the Mediterranean, and then escaped to grow wild. Beautiful!

A view of Barcelona, Spain.

A great shot of the American Bald Eagle!

An interesting recipe that only serves one- but I think after reading it, it could really serve two!

Hahahaha!

And I really like this photo of a German Goose with the Dandelion in its mouth!

A great card for my chickens collection! The sender wrote "Remember when Martha Stewart made a big deal about her French chickens? I think this is one of them - it has her attitude."  Hahahahah - so true, and yes, I do remember!

Another pretty Postage Stamp Postcard from England, this one celebrating one of Jane Austen's characters, Catherine Morland.

This one was sent by my acupuncturist, and I included it because I thought it was cute with the snowman's arms being acupuncture needles! And yes, it really does help!

A floating market on Bangkok Noi Canal, Bangkok Thailand. I guess when you shop from a boat, you are limited with what you can purchase and bring home!
