Salish art 'Morning Flight' by George Hunt Jr. with quote: "The Blue Herson in flight while transforming into its human form. The Blue Heron represents ancient times." We don't know if herson is a typo - or a combo of heron and person. Thanks Grandma and Opa!

"The Old Country Market - Goats on the roof - Coombs"
It sounded strange to hear about buildings built to hold goats on their roofs! Thanks Grandma and Opa!

Festival of Postcards - Geography

This is a card from my dad's collection. He collected cards on trips that he took, and this one shows Mt Robson in British Columbia (which is stated on the left side). On the right side it's a signature - Henry Rowed (?) / Jasper. The pictures to the side show a dahl sheep, some girls dressed for the beach, and a fellow golfing - attractions of the area. On the back: "Mount Robson - This, the highest peak in the Canadian Rockies, thrusts its perpetually ice encrusted summit two miles above the valley of British Columbia's Fraser River. Passengers on the crack trans-continental trains of Canadian National Railways, view this magnificent mountain in all its splendor after a short 65 miles journey from Jasper."

What a fantastic card! I love the colours, the lines. :) It's called Eagle Transforming by Corey W Moraes. Thank you!!! :D

On a bit of a side note: my hubby was awesome and scanned these for me last night - there will be more! I just don't want to spend all my time in front of the computer. All right, maybe I do want to, but I really shouldn't. That better? :D

Wow - this is a big card :D I love how it gives me an idea of where things are - I've heard of Comox (and Courtney), Victoria, Tofino and Nanaimo - but I had no idea where they were, other than on "the" island. Thanks Mom and Dad! I'm glad you had a great trip!! :D

Two gorgeous daffodils. I have only seen these online (even our main post office doesn't have - I checked). Keep thinking I should get them, and then I think of my honey's face and go, nah, I got lots of cards :) Thank you mom, for the pretty flowers :)

Gorgeous card of the Canadian Rockies. My mom took about 10 days to drive from Boise ID, to Fairbanks AK. Other than seeing family (in Seattle, Vancouver, the Okanagon, and Prince George), I think she did some sightseeing :) Go mom! That's the way to travel (oh did I mention, she was with her 2 cats and dog??) Crazy :)
The card says: Few places in the world are as breath-takingly beautiful as the Canadian Rocky Mountains where the recreational opportunities are endless. Four national parks encompass the vast area: Banff, Kootenay, Yoho, and Jasper, and these have been designated as World Heritage Sites by the United Nations. Spectacular resorts like the Banff Springs Hotel, the Jasper Park Lodge, and the Inn at Lake Louise are world famous. For the outdoor enthusiast, almost anything goes, from rugged mountain climbing, to more tame hikes, from river rafting to cycling, from snow-shoeing to heli-skiing. Wildlife is abundant, and it is commonplace for cars to pull off the road to observe a herd of elk or spot a bear. The Columbia Icefields are a glacier remaining from the last Ice Age, accessible by the road connecting Jasper and Banff. And, of course, the Rocky Mountains themselves, the youngsters of the North American mountain chains, are worth seeing simply for their grandeur.
Thanks Mom!

This is a GIGANTIC card! I got it in the mail and thought it was a flyer (the mailman had to fold it :( ). It is about 11x8 inches (guess!). Gorgeous cat - Mountain Lion (or Cougar, or Puma, it's all the same thing). Thanks Mom!

This wonderful city view is of North Vancouver, BC. It shows the ferries between North Vancouver and Downtown Vancouver. I love how everything is so blue! Thank you Shayper!

A beautiful picture of Lion's Gate bridge in Vancouver, with a sunset. Simple and pretty. :) Thanks shayper for such a pretty card (private swap).

I love how the colours in the graffiti are reflected in the sunset - or I guess how the colours in the sunset are on the rock. But after seeing this I am hoping that Keith and Sherrie are still together! Thanks Jaid332 for this lovely card of Campbell River! (Private Swap)
