We hoofed it up and down the Mall many times during our stay! At the bottom of the card is the Capitol, at the top is the Washington Monument. And along the left and right sides of the mall are the Smithsonian museums!
We saw Mei and Tian Tian at the National Zoo when we visited Washington! They are truly adorable! We also learned that these pandas are only here “on loan” to us from China as “ambassadors of conservation.” What a fantastic gift!
One morning while my sons were attending Super Saturday classes at UNC Asheville, my husband, daughter and I visited a Farmer’s Market that takes place on the UNC Asheville campus each Saturday. A young man was among the varied sellers; he had several tables out with lovely plates, bowls and other finery. I overheard another customer say the magic words “buy one get one free,” and then quickly decided I must have two of his wonderful rice bowls to decorate my office. So I purchased the bowls, which now greet me every time I walk into my office … and also picked up this postcard! It is to promote the artist’s showing at The Grace and Cameron West Art Gallery. Love local arts!
I picked this neat card up while my kids were attending Super Saturday classes at the University of North Carolina at Asheville. It is to promote “Environmental Impressions,” A Collection of Linocuts by Monica Miller for her B.A. Art Exhibition. Support the local arts, I say! 🙂
from the Clay Gallery on Penland School Road in Penland, North Carolina. I actually picked this card up at UNC Asheville.
This is a greeting card, from an ink and watercolor painting by Janice Peroni. Janice is a quadripleglic who paints with restricted use of her arms and hands. I love the colors, which is why it’s included here 🙂 Plus, I admire people who move beyond their limitations to inspire those of us not similarly challenged! 🙂
This is not a postcard, but a greeting card entitled “Skating in Sunlight” painted by Gertrude Dorman Doll, who was paralyzed by polio but retains use of her lower arms and hands. It reminds me of many fun times ice skating in on Strawbridge Lake in Moorestown, New Jersey 🙂
This also from my sister, Maria! Very unique!
This cool card is from my sister, Maria! Thanks! 🙂
We traveled this bridge many times during our Summer, 2008 mission trip to Summersville, West Virginia. This is the longest arch bridge in the western hemisphere!
