Gambel's Quail, Arizona
They look so adorable!
I went and youtubed the quails. Quaint little creatures.

Simply precious



Portugal, PT-219351

Campo de Ourique, Lisboa, Portugal


I really love this card!
The tiles exude Portugese culture while the cat simply looks adorable.
The sender didn't like cats and had to shop for a card to match my wishlist...
Many thanks!

France, FR-187475


The port of Bordeaux in the late 18th century.
Looks like it was already a busy port back then.

A self-made postcard of fern trees in Australia / New Zealand.
Doesn't it remind you of Jurassic Park?

Hawksbill Turtle
According to the sender, this card is supposed to be an "antique".  How many years would that be? and if I have the chance to visit the aquarium one day, would the handsome creature still be around?



Japan, JP-231432





Sakurajima, Japan

On first look I thought it was Mount Fuji.
But why is it called "Sakura Island" when it is, in fact, a mountain?

Finland, FI-1313648


So much snow and ice! Is this a ski resort? I wonder.
