Postbox Saturday

 Spotted at Columbus Zoo.

I wish it was real so I could send postcards from there!

Boston Public Garden

 Gardens is the subject for today's postcard hunt.

CJ sent me this great card from Boston showing the famous swanboats at dock. The opening date for the boats this year was April 19th - and this is the 158th year!

This is also a place I have visited, albeit about 20 years ago.

White magic

 Today's Sunday Stamps theme is white, and I love the white images on these Art of Magic stamps issued in 2018. The white rabbit being pulled from a top hat and the white dove emerging from a flower are great symbols of magic, representing the illusions of production and transformation.

Thanks to CJ for sending them on this wonderful envelope in 2020. The classic playing card suits letters are perfect, and the first day of issue was, appropriately, Las Vegas.

And the hand made card inside used an image of another stamp in this set - the empty white cage signifying a vanishing act.

Eagle

 Today's postcard hunt theme is (song)birds.

Looking through my postcards I have very few birds. The only one I found was this bald eagle on a postcard commemorating 50 years since the moon landing of the Apollo 11 mission.

Pony Express

 Sign seen in Nashville

Waterfalls

 Today's Sunday Stamps theme is waterfalls and rivers.

I think this extreme sport counts. This is Descenso de Barrancos, issued by Correos in 2006, and sent by Eva. Whatever this is (waterfall, river, rapids?), it looks horrendous :)

This stamp is Harrison Wright Falls in Pennsylvania. I'll take fast running water as a spectator sport, please.

It arrived on this lovely February exchange envelope from Maggie M.
