This awesome card comes from my long-lost pal, Hanan 🙂 I was glad to hear from her again after so long! This image is fabulous…look how LARGE those sculptures are! I would love to see this in person some day.

Can you believe….I never really knew what a glacier was until I saw this postcard?!? I feel like a dunce 🙂 But now I know…a glacier is a flowing river of ice! From the card: “The ice actually flows similar to a river with water. It is solid ice that is continually on the move.” Awesome! Thanks to my postcard pal Saph!
This card comes from a private trade; I used to live in New Jersey, although south of Princeton–in Cinnaminson. A nice addition to my university collection.
This view is really nothing special–I’ve seen hundreds of cards with better ones 🙂 But what I like about this is that it’s one snapshot taken along the 2,000+ mile trail that runs from Georgia to Maine. I’m getting kinda old now so I doubt I could do it….but just imagine…hiking that trail!!! I may start a new collection of postcards from along the trail. If you have any, please let me know!
“A Federal Budget to Rebuild Our Communities.” The text on this card says that we need to, basically, give up all the military spending and put our dollars into our communities. I don’t know what I think of all that — I’m really ignorant about issues like this. But I do know that I hate how many people are poor, suffering and struggling in this country–and all over the world. But honestly, the ideals themselves did not attract me to this card. The colorful artwork did 🙂 Artwork by Karen Kerney, 1992.
“It takes a whole village to raise a child.” Not only do I believe this as a mother of three kids with no support system whatsoever around me (except for hubby, that is!), but I also believe this because I believe in the idea of “community” and “family.” Love this colorful art card–a very pleasing addition to my collection. Art by Bonnie Acker, cut paper, 1994.
Another card that clues me in on the fact that I really do enjoy art. See that colorful sculpture that looks like dinosaur bones? I love it! 🙂 That’s the reason I selected this card for a private trade 🙂
Kennebunkport, Maine….President Bush’s Estate. When I selected this card for a private trade, I had no idea it was the President’s Estate. I just liked it because it was a nice Maine view and I have few to no Maine cards 🙂 So this is an added surprise 🙂
I never really thought of myself as one who enjoys–or even appreciates–art. But that must be changing, as I really enjoy postcards like this! Downtown Asheville has similar sculptures; I want to make a postcard of them someday 🙂
I have always heard of the “San Fernando Valley,” but I had no idea what it truly represented. Now I know this isn’t much…but at least it’s something! 🙂 From a private trade.
