#2 @HarleyGirl73 - Sunwapta Falls in the Canadian Rockies, thank you! That is a very impressive waterfall and a beautiful view! 
#5 reporting:
#2 @HarleyGirl73 ā Great card from the Western Development Museum in Saskatchewan! Thank you. What an interesting old steam tractor!
#13 @ladybug513 ā a Klimt - āLiebeā. I have a Klimt print hanging on my bathroom wall. A favorite artist of mine ā thank you!
#28 @sleepyhippo1 ā a painting of Little Red Riding Hood. Great childhood memories. Thank you for the card and the great vintage stamps!
#16 reporting cards received during the last few days:
#1 @cawindt - LP poster for Cuyahoga Valley National Park. I learned of that park from @carolreader. It looks lovely.
#2 @HarleyGirl73 - Edmonton, Alberta, on a snowy evening. Your land and animals must keep you very busy!
#3 @Cruzin - a Lou Paper card for Oregon with images of lots of familiar things and places. Hope your Texas house sells quickly. Itās been a hot sellersā market most places.
#18 @4kids2pay4 - Civic Park in Waterloo, Iowa. Yes, Iāve been up in the Seattle Space Needle (I assume thatās what you meant when you said Seattle Tower). And I definitely remember the year when the SuperSonics were in the NBA finals (and won!) in 1979. My husband and I were temporarily living in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and were on our way to a canoeing vacation in the Boundary Waters of northern Minnesota. We had to make sure we found a motel with good TV access that last night.
#24 @roxy - a bookcover for Caesar, The Conquest of Gaul, a book I havenāt read, yet is not on my massive to-be-read pile! Glad to hear youāve been having fun with your visiting niece. We havenāt played Uno for several years.
#28 @sleepyhippo1 - the U.S. Supreme Court Building. I agree that summer goes by quickly. Itās my favorite season (despite our record-breaking heat this year), and Iām never eager for its end.
#29 @melvnoble - the south portico of the White House. This card and the one from sleepyhippo1 remind me that I really want to go to DC. (We included it in a family vacation in 1997, far too long ago).
#30 @RockyRoadTrip - a cool āfightā card 2016. I totally agree with your comments.
Thanks, everyone!

#1 @cawindt An ocean liner from Poland. How awesome to visit the farm of your great-great grandmother. I canāt wait to get back to working on my genealogy. I have found that many postcrossers live in areas very near to my ancestors.
#2 @HarleyGirl73 Saskatchewan at Night All black card with partial moon and a little squirrel or woodchuck popping up in the corner. This card did make me smile. We do have a lot in common as far as our interests go. Iām thinking when I return to my scrapbooking, Iām going to seriously consider going the digital scrapbooking route. I just canāt see myself devoting hours to the creation of a few pages like I did many years ago.
#6 @mikeyz1 Shoes, beautiful shoes. Donāt know why I have such a fascination with shoes. I no longer wear heels that high and am strictly buying shoes for comfort now but I still love to look and try on occasionally.
#8 @Shesa-Renegade The delightful ladies of Inge Look. They are relaxing, reading and laughing. This is the first Inge Look card Iāve actually received. I have a bunch to send which were signed by Inge Look herself but I plan to send them all out eventually. I agree, I do need a soft spot to read and relax in my new and improved space.
#10 @emotis A lovely graphic card of Hawaiāi volcanoes national park. I do think those people standing on the overlook of an active volcano are not proving themselves to be overly bright. 
#12 @yarn-lady A photograph of Puu Oo crater in Hawaii. This oneās actively erupting and the hot lava flow is gorgeous.
#14 @dnrhott A magical mushroom. Yes, I enjoy Disney movies.
#16 @hootnoodle Aerial view of Washington State Capitol building and other capitol group buildings overlooking the water. Quite a beautiful view. I agree, your location is much prettier than the US Capitol but I venture to say the US Capitol is more controversial! (not that itās a good thing).
#24 @roxy A 1970ās photo of the musical group āThe Raspberriesā. Oh the hair on the men! Love those shag haircuts.
#29 @melvnoble A photo of the Washington Monument with Cherry Blossoms in full bloom around the tidal basin. Lovely!! Itās been awhile since Iāve watched Unsolved Mysteries, but I agree that are creepy and mostly sad.

@Beachyblonde #21 ā Love the dragon and eagle in the night sky! Beautiful postcard!
@roxy #24 ā The Buildings of EnglandāIāve never been to England, but Iāve read so many books about it that I feel like Iād recognize most of London if I ever went there, which I hope to do one day. I love that bus stamp.
Thank you!
#21 @Beachyblonde sent me this terrific (and funny) card of āGrand Canyon by Railā - - but showing a fellow on Route 66, leaning on a red convertible that looks so much more attractive than the train in the distance! But I agree, Whitney- - the Grand Canyon is amazing, and the card is gorgeous, even if it may not be the best advertisement for the train! I also love the stickers - - thanks for the sweet little lamb!
And speaking of sweet little lambsā¦ this has got to be one of the most smile-provoking photographs of a lamb Iāve seen, and the back of the card has a cartoon of the same lamb on its back with its hind legs kicking up, in cowboy boots. Way too much fun!! Thank you, #4, @hkappespc - - and also for the wonderful stamps! I agree, covering up that drawing would have been a crime!
A dramatic, beautifully executed poster for Banff National Park from #2, @HarleyGirl73, with an amazing stamp celebrating Radio Canada, and fun stickers and washi tape. Iām so glad you get to spend so much time outdoors - - itās amazing what it does for oneās sanity in these troubled times, isnāt it? I envy you your horses! Warm thanks, from my many-legged home to yours!
This handsome zebra does indeed have a cute look on his face, #28 @sleepyhippo1, and looks as if she / he is about to say something funny! Weāve been so lucky here in the Ozarks - - itās been moderate, all summer, with only a few days at all uncomfortable, and no drought at all. I wish you didnāt have to suffer through the extreme heat - - thank you for taking time in the middle of it all, and sending this wonderful card! I love the unusual stamps, and the adorable kitten sticker, too! This card was such a pleasure!
#6 @mikeyz1 sent this stunning painting of āWild Horses of Nevadaā by Maynard Dixon (1927) - - I love those deep indigo and violet shadows! You can almost hear the hooves beating - - I can see why this painting is so pleasing to you, Mike! Thank you so much for choosing it - - and your stamps are amazing! That 3-cent stamp of Samuel Gompers all by itself is a treasure. Many thanks!!
Hi everyone! Iāll be doing an update of this month tonight and then will open September. Thanks for your patience.
