Greetings!

I love to travel, especially to see national parks and botanical gardens. I’m an avid photographer: landscapes, architecture, and nature. I also love crafting: knitting, crochet, paper crafts, & sewing.

Please don't exclude a card just because it doesn't fit a topic below! Some of the best things in life are pure surprises! Ideas in case you want them (but send any postcard you wish):

View cards:
landscapes & nature photos - I'd love to see your national parks!
city skylines, especially at night
botanical gardens & fields of flowers (daisies, poppies, and lavender are favorites)
water (lake, stream, pond, ice, mist, fountains)
religious buildings: cathedrals, mosques, temples - love the architecture
any UNESCO WHS site
other landmarks -internationally known and local
Multi-views welcome.
Unusual creatures, especially octopus, dragonflies, porcupines, bats
All endangered animals

Others:
anything related to cameras or photographers, new or old
Goats, sheep, alpacas, llamas, yak, camel, musk ox (fiber animals)

Shaped cards are rare or expensive for many, but I would be honored to receive them.

What to write? Answer one of these, or draw if you’re short on words.
What makes you happiest?
What is your favorite smell?
Best place you visited accidentally (not planned)?
Something you like that others consider odd - example: I like cayenne pepper in my morning coffee.

Handmade cards are welcome, as long as they will survive the journey. Please don't let the post destroy your hard work! Envelopes are appreciated if they help a delicate card arrive safely.

--> I collect stamps, so any special or beautiful ones are greatly appreciated. <--

*Favorites are cards I would like to receive*

-->Very favorite collections -adding to these would really make my day!
