This nice postcard with a garden and reed roof house was sent to me from Butzbach, Germany.

Postcard from Taiwan

TW-196559

Received this For the Love of Nature postcard from a member in Taiwan. It is a close up view of a locust. As a gardener, I prefer these on photos and not in my garden. The photo is very clear and the focus perfect.

Kemi Finland

FI-914650

Received this Sunset postcard from Kemi, Finland. It shows a view of Kukkolankoski, between Sweden and Finland. A place popular for white whitewater rafting.
