Postcard 32- Finland

Received 12 February 2012 from Finland. This was not a usual postcrossing card, but rather a reply card- I had put my address on the card, so she sent one back! Snow covered trees in Finland!

Postcard 154 - Japan

Received 2 November 2011 from Japan. The postcard is of a shrine in Sendai, and is actually one that I have in my collection from my travels. It isn't the first collection duplicate (I have two or three others) but it is interesting. I got the card and thought that it looked familiar, then going through my collection I found the other. I think I have been to this shrine.

Postcard 139- Belarus

Received 26 September 2011 from Belarus as part of the July round robin.

Day 292- Jacaranda

19 October 2011- Playing around with the special effects. Of course, since jacaranda is most recognisable for its purple flowers, not something recognisable in this photo.

Day 271- outside the gallery

28 September 2011- We went to the Surrealism exhibition, and outside the gallery found this impromptu piece of art.

Day 211- Art precinct

30 July 2011- Brisbane now has two nice art musuems, with the State Library in between. The walk between is nice, with a cafe under the Library and trees and open spaces. We went to see an exhibition of an Australian artist couple from the impressionist era.

Day 155- A novel experience

4 June 2011- I took a lot of photos in Stanthorpe, but this one is the one becuase it is somehting I never see in Brisbane. There are no native decidous trees in Australia, and the imported ones do not have the same cycle in sub-tropical Brisbane. So no beautiful autumn leaves here. I miss them, and I miss the smell in autumn of many leaves changing and falling to the ground. Pretty exciting just to spot them!

Postcard 50-Poland

Received 17 May 2011- A lovely picture of polish woods

Postcard 34 - Finland

Whoops, haven't been keeping up with these either. This one, which was a private swap was received 28 March 2011, from Finland. Very Pretty

Day 4 - Sky

 
4 January 2011 - Tree leaves against the sky. Think that it is a ponciana tree.
