I’ve never been to Niagara, although we’ve been talking about taking a drive to Niagara and Toronto pretty soon! And after seeing Jim Carrey’s performance as the zany reporter on Bruce Almighty, my kids of course want to visit the Maid of the Midst!
From the back: “Standing at the bow, you feel the mist lightly spray your face. You hear the rumble of the water. You sense the vast power of it all. Face-to-face with one of the natural wonders of the world. It’s the only way to feel the magic in the mist.” (Oh, brother!) 🙂

“At the heart of all City of Hope activities is the credo, ‘There is no profit in curing the body if in the process we destroy the soul,’ here pictured on the Golter Gate located at the entrance to the International Garden of Meditation on the campus in Duarte, CA.”
Wow … this place sounds impressive (http://www.cityofhope.org):
“City of Hope is recognized worldwide for its compassionate patient care, innovative science and translational research, which rapidly turns laboratory breakthroughs into promising new therapies.
We are one of only 40 National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Centers nationwide and a founding member of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network. An independent biomedical research, treatment and education institution, we are a leader in the fight to conquer cancer, diabetes, HIV/AIDS and other life-threatening diseases.
On our park-like campus just northeast of Los Angeles, researchers advance ideas into discoveries, physicians bring emerging therapies to patients, and students learn to transform the landscape of modern medicine – all supported by the generosity of philanthropists from across the country.
Every day we pursue new and better ways to improve the lives of men, women and children here and around the world – and have for almost 100 years.”

Love this art card! Beautifully done. The piece is called “The Kelp Forest,” by The Studio of Noel Ashton. From its website (http://www.aquarium.co.za/), looks like a very nice aquarium, too!

I love this series of five postcards from the Matombo Gallery’s Major Artists Series — another great find in my box of free cards. This sculpture, called Blind Beggar, is made from serpentine stone.
