Today I had no idea and nothing I put on a reflective surface worked. So I went for a walk and got the mail on the way in. Found I got a postcard from Costa Rica with an electric blue butterfly on it. Bingo! I had my background!

Early in the 20th century, it was very popular to dress up animals and stage scenes like this. People used to love sending them to each other!

Mark Knopfler - Postcards From Paraguay

One thing was leading to the next

I bit off more than I could chew

I had the power to sign the cheques

It wasn't difficult to do

 

I couldn't stay and face the music

So many reasons why

I won't be sending postcards

from Paraguay, from Paraguay, from Paraguay

 

I robbed a bank full of dinero,

A great big mountain of dough

So it was goodbye companero

and cheerio

 

I couldn't stay and face the music

So many reasons why

I won't be sending postcards

from Paraguay, from Paraguay, from Paraguay

 

I never meant to be a cheater

But there was blood on the wall

I had to steal from peter

to pay what I owed to paul

 

I couldn't stay and face the music

So many reasons why

I won't be sending postcards

from Paraguay, from Paraguay, from Paraguay

POSTCARD WORTHY is the topic for Friday, October 22, 2021, Group Our Daily Challenge

 

I have to go to this castle a couple of times a year, it is worth a visit at any time of the year.

This morning the sun was shining so beautifully, but when I got there the sun was gone ...

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ich muss dieses Schloss ein paar Mal im Jahr besuchen, es ist zu jeder Jahreszeit einen Besuch wert.

Heute morgen schien so schön die Sonne, doch als ich dort ankam war die Sonne verschwunden....

A spot where I go kayaking a lot through the Summer until early Fall.I always see a lot of Painted Turtles along this shoreline.

EXPLORE #20 THANK YOU MY FRIEND!!!!

Loved this old motel on Route 66. The pink doors and the rusty Packard out front had such a 1950s vibe. It has lived as motel all these years, it's awesome to see it still going! It's like walking back in time.

I was born in a time when people used to send postcards to each other, and I've decided to start sending postcards to a few special people I really love on special occasions. Maybe it's a small step for this age and humanity, but it's great for me. Chuckles*

My eyes are white circles

above cheekbones on fire:

Pale hand gripping my pen.

Rounding up to the zero,

adding infinite fractions,

Letting nine become ten.

 

Two pink doves strut the shingles

Picking crumbs from the breakfast I saved

For you dear. and I wish you were here

On this postcard day.

 

Focus on the fine

indeterminate line

Where the sky meets the sea.

Desperate midweek words,

banal and absurd

Freely flow out of me.

 

Well, I may be a hostage to summer

But I'm a hostage, not a slave.

And I'm clear that I wish you were here

On this postcard day.

 

Precious cargo of flotsam:

mixed memories on an ocean tide

Swim madly with spice from the orient

On a mystery watery carpet ride.

But with the sun going down,

the wind goes around;

Blows them back out of mind.

 

My eyes are white circles

staring down past the point

Of my restless pen.

While the ghosts of my youth

all sworn to the truth

Call my name again.

 

Two brown legs don't make a summer.

But two brown arms couldn't keep me away.

Well, my dear, I wish you were here

On this postcard day.

Thank you for your visit!

Dear J,

 

I hope my postcard finds you well. Everything is ok, only five more weeks to go. This place is a dark void with a plot of gray snow. Industrial area at night. A brick-concrete monstrosity with one long ugly ulcer of a chimney stabbing the feeric nonexistent sky. A threat lurking somewhere. Maybe someone sees it, maybe someone feels it but I never know for sure.

Life cuts into the landscape.

 

Love, N

@ MetaLES..O..

Welcome 2014 :) I hope everyone enjoyed or are still in the process of welcoming the new year. My last day of 2013 was a bit of an emotional roller coaster at first but then it turned out just fine. Looking forward to catching up with everyone :) This is one of my last images from 2013. That's my girlfriend over there while we wonder around on the beach. Later everyone :) Peace!

From a project back in high school.

UNESCO-World Heritage Site

Introducing Postcards from Johnny T, a set of six postcards showcasing the adventures of the renowned 1930s archaeologist and adventurer, Johnny Thunder.

 

The collection includes postcards from each of the locations Thunder visited on his travels, including the pyramids of Egypt, the dense jungles of Amazonia, the prehistoric landscapes of Dino Island, the ancient palaces of India, the towering peaks of the Himalaya, and the magnificent cities of China.

 

This MOC is a collaboration with Vanthica (vanthica.carrd.co), a friend of mine who designed the poststamps and prepared renders. Check out their other works!

Old postcard that was never sent.

I'm going to start something new, for me. I love postcards and I love history. I've done some volunteer work for SHSMO ( State Historical Society Of Missouri) working on restoring some of their archive photos. In the process I discovered what a great collection they have. The postcard images I have are from this source. Please visit them if you get a chance.
