Received first cards from:
#2 @CrimsonKing - jellyfish, thank you! Haha, they are like living bubbles in a way. I ordered Nalu a new bed - should have been here todayā¦
#9 @scoutingbear - Pixar bird, thank you! Haha, since itās a detail, happily counts as feathers. I have yet to see the new Top Gun movieā¦ maybe when the crowds fade.
#17 reporting in with a cool card
#5 @carolreader black-and-white photo of Tony Bennett, 1955, by William Claxton. Heās smoking in the pictureāI find it interesting when watching things on Netflix (canāt remember now if same thing is done on Amazon Prime) that the āwarningsā list in the descriptions will include smoking if there is smoking in the movie.
#16
All cards sent.
#22

#17 reporting ināI should have waited for todayās mail to arrive. Have another couple cool cards:
#19 @ellistrations Downtown Houston card. Looks like a great place. Iāll probably not get in much traveling this summer eitherābut AM hoping to visit a couple friends in neighboring states.
#22 @uconn Black and white photo of the Marx Brothers in a movie scene with an unnamed actress. I prefer the Marx Brothers to the 3 Stooges. Babysitting a three year old. You are brave. I remember when I used to babysit my nephews occasionally at that age. Such energy.

#5 @carolreader sends a card with advice from an eagle. This card is fabulous! I watch eagle cams, too. I think they are fascinating. One of my favorite pictures from my Alaska vacation years ago was an eagle swooping down into the water to catch a fish. Breathtaking!
#17 @YOIYUMTEWA sends a wonderful Women in Science card of Katia Krafft, a geologist and volcanologist! I am a geologist, although a paleontologist and not a volcanologist, so I especially love this card!
#19 @ellistrations sends a beautiful card of the northern lights. I know what you mean about having to go on a postcard-buying freezeā¦haha. Iām heading out on vacation soon and know that Iāll have a LOT of cards coming home! Iām so excited to add more to my stash (but I really need to go on a buying freeze, too).

#5 @carolreader : two of my favorite themes combines: lighthouses and Lantern Press
#14 @dnrhott : beautiful cardinal. I am so old - I love sitting outside watching/listening to the birds
#17 @YOIYUMTEWA : West Virginia map. I sent a card from West Virginia to someone overseas and they actually replied back about how much they love the song āCountry Roads!ā
#22 @uconn : Cocklespur Lighthouse near Savannah. I have tried - without a fancy camera (or boat) there is just no way to take a picture of this lighthouse in real life!
#19 received
#5 @carolreader - details of the sun - green, thank you! Who knew there was green to the sun. First time Iāve seen that color in correspondence, haha! Very pretty!
#10 @emotis - camera with a cactus, thank you! My brother just got back from a trip to Europe with his friends and the photos I saw were amazing. Love this beautiful card!
#14 @dnrhott - NYC, thank you! Iāve never been, but donāt have plans to. I do often miss the cuisine most places I visit.
#17 @YOIYUMTEWA - āRemember when we couldnāt wait to be older?ā Thank you! Haha, yes! I am at the point where Iād like to stay the age I am. No older, no younger.
#22 @uconn - feather quill, thank you! I like to keep my holidays for fun and relaxation as well. Work can always wait, haha!
#2 received:
#5 @carolreader sent Glacier Bay in black and white, thank you Carol! It is a cool view, from what I read on the back, the picture was taken in 1891. I wish the glaciers were still that tall, but I feel that they are not unfortunately, still a beautiful card though!
#9 @scoutingbear sent a June challenge card of Pantone, Violet Ice 15-2706. I have to agree with you, I see no violet in that color at all. It looks tan/brown to me, lol. Send all the Pantones you want lol, thank you Karen!
#17 @YOIYUMTEWA sent a Rhododendrons vintage card, how pretty, love the color, thank you Rick! Did your rhododendron grow wild and huge? Iāve seen lilac bushes do that. What color is your flower?
#19 @ellistrations sent a fairy house, what a neat card, thank you Barb! Iām glad you got lucky and sent this card to me, itās adorable. I love the ladders going from tree to tree, hehe.
#22 sent the Land Crab from Birds, Beasts & Reptiles, how cool, thank you James! Ahh, I donāt watch Dr. Who. Is Torchwood and Doctor Who intertwined? Have you watched Torchwood? I have not, maybe I should, lol.
Thank you everyone!

@CrimsonKing #2 I adore this ADG card of Great Sand Dunes (no, Iāve not been)! I love poster style cards but this one is different, it looks like an oil painting! I have never seen one like this before and I am so happy to add it to my collection. Thank you!!
@carolreader #5 I love this turtle photograph from your local NP! Iāve heard that itās very beautiful there.
@YOIYUMTEWA #17 Thanks for this vintage card showing a saguaro cactus. I remember being young and learning that you shouldnāt draw saguaro cactuses and camels in the same picture. We associate them both with deserts but they donāt come from the same ones, like polar bears and penguins!
@ellistrations #19 Thank you for Mokoliāi Island, aka the āChinamanās Hat.ā What an interesting formation! Iād love to see the rabbit island as well. I appreciate the matching Hawaii stamp, too!
