Piled Up

Well, with my limited amount of energy, I don't think I'm going to be able to continue with the North America Round Robin and it was the only one I hung on to after dropping out of all the others. I just don't have the "spoons" left for things I want to do. I will of course continue with the Official Postcrossing so I will at least have a few postcards, just not as many as before. Hopefully I will be able to rejoin the Round Robin after the first of the new year!

A really cool map card from Australia!


A funny card from Minnesota


A map of Holland


The wreck of a Cuban fishing boat in 1941, after a hurricane.


Beautiful early spring flowers in Belarus.


Pigeon Forge, Tennessee


A painting by Tangetsu. I love the old Japanese paintings. I wonder what the artists would think of manga and anime of today!


A juvenile and mature Bald Eagle.


Sculpted bear on the Cherokee Reservation in North Carolina.


Doubling Point Lighthouse in Maine


The city of Kampen in Holland


A great map of part of the South Carolina Lowcountry!


A Mississippi paddle boat


Colorful map of Washington


A beautiful Bluethroat from Holland


The Presidents from Virginia.

Summertime!

Well, summer is here in earnest! We've had so much rain the past few weeks and I am glad we live on the side of a hill, so that there is no chance of flooding! The ground outside is like walking on a wet sponge. It's been a good thing though, our area has been under drought conditions for the past few years.

(and to answer the question from the last post - I don't know exactly what the grannies were doing, I was wondering myself!)

Enjoy the postcards!

I think this may be my first Maine postcard!


Sudak, Genoese Fortress, sent from the Ukraine


Lovely bicycle postcard from France


A collection of lighthouses from Holland


An Edward Gorey card, 12 Lords a'leaping- except they look more like they are walking sedately. Now, the ladies look more like they are "a'leaping"!


Sent from Canada, a postage stamp image

North Head Lighthouse in Washington


Great moon shot, with a tree superimposed over it!


A harbor in Taiwan.


I have a friend visiting in Maine right now, and she sent me this gorgeous card of harvested blueberry fields.


Lovely shot of a pond in Poland.


Looks like a Trumpeter Swan, the card is from Germany, and the sender told me she began following my art blog because she really liked it!
