Yikes! This week’s challenge from Ana is postcards. I never bought them when I traveled because I knew I would be home before the reader received them. Fortunately she suggested that we post images of our own that we thought would make good postcards. As I started looking through my archives, I remembered that each year I create a calendar to give friends and family. So here are some of my images on my 2019 calendar that I think would make a nice postcard.
Tulip Time at Ananda Village Tulip at Ananda Village Iconic Tower Bridge Sacramento Sacramento Zoo Folsom Prison Sacramento River, Old Sacramento Plymouth Countryside Yolo County Countryside Sacramento Historical City Cemetery Napa Valley in the Fall Calaveras Big Trees State Park: A Family Adventure Going vertical at Calaveras Big Trees State Park
Thanks Ana for taking me down memory lane.
In her post, Ana gave many good reasons for buying and collecting postcards and what they mean to her. I might start buying them now!
Any of these would be a beautiful postcard!

Wonderful collection of postcards you have shown us here. I love them, I would take them all home. Although I have to confess, I stopped buying postcards a long time ago, maybe, too, I’ll do it again now.
Thanks for your participation, Anne 😘

Definitely postcard- and calendar-worthy photos! I think they are really lovely. It might be fun to find or make a preset to make them look like some of the old postcards from the 1950s! Nice work!
