USA - Iowa

An Iowa Farm

This photo was on postcards, magnets, and pretty much everything I saw in Iowa (at multiple gas stations and stores in different parts of the state!)  I think it is just such an amazing photo.

Azerbaijan

AZ-2566

A new country!  Azerbaijan, a small country in the caucuses is not a huge Postcrossing country as evident by the extremely small number of the card.  This is only card 2566 from that country, and easily the lowest numbered card I've received.  

The card is of  a painting apparently called "Sona" made in 2009 by Azeri artist Ali Shamsi    A website appears to be here.

The card also comes with two awesome stamps and a very nice clear postmark from the capital city of Baku.

USA - Wisconsin

Mt. Horeb, Wisconsin.

Mt. Horeb is a small town near the state capital of Madison.  Apparently the area was apparently heavily known for Norwegian heritage and has a ton of trolls (see picture) everywhere.  

This card was sent by my cousin's daughter Evy.  Evy is not even five years old, but she wrote me a wonderful message on the reverse of the card which you can see below.

Adorable.  

Australia

A Direct Swap from Penny in Queensland, Australia.  She was trying to collect a card from each and every US county.  

The card is of Government House, Western Australia.  Also, the card is a first-day-issue postcard.

This card of a "Hoosier Lamb" ("Hoosier" being the term for anything or one from my home state of Indiana) was last seen on its way to Russia. I thought it might be a nice card to receive around the Easter season.

Kostomuksha, the destination for this card, is a relatively young town (established in 1977) only 19 miles from the Finland-Russia Border.  

This postcard is lost.  Please check your mailboxes.

What is one of the best cards to ever get if you're into postcards and cats?

Why, a postman cat, of course!  A postman cat who just might become the unofficial mascot of this blog.
