Butterflies of Belarus!

I enjoy many things in life...fine wine, watching American Football, eating good Italian food, travelling to wonderful places around the UK with my partner Mark in our VW Campervan, exchanging postcards via Postcrossing.com. I also enjoy watching butterflies flap around in a meadow on a sunny day. So, getting this card from palinakr in Belarus was awesome! I received it on 7 August 2017, after it had spent 9 days travelling 1144 kms.

• Southern Festoon

Arizona State Map Card!

I love collecting map postcards and I particularly enjoy getting maps of American states in the mail! Today I got this one, US-4773950, from tilly30318, in the United States of America of her home state of Arizona.

US-4773950

So, three facts about Arizona:

• Their symbols of the state are Cactus Wren (bird), Palo Verde (tree) and Saguaro Cactus Blossom (flower).
• The capital is Phoenix, home to near 1.5 million people. 
• Their American Football team are the Arizona Cardinals and are the oldest continuously run professional football team in the United States of America.
