"VENEZIA"

I love these Venice cards they are almost like real oil paintings.

They have taken a canvas textured card stock and printed pictures of paintings on them giving the look of authentic oil paintings

These Venice Cards are from a series. 

Don't know anything except the back reads.

CARTE POSTALE

FABULOUS FLORIDA FAVORITES

Villa Zorayda, St. Augustine, Florida

A castle of Old Granada, Spain, the Alhambra.  A rare privilege awaits visitors as they view within, the amazing collection of priceless relics and countless treasures.  Open to the public daily.

I caught a glimpse of it earlier this month on the road trip with my brother.

Above is another little video I made on the trip.

BEEN THERE, DONE THAT, Bought the Post Card

Made a trip to Lakeland to see this location in February.

Had been wanting to visit for years and finally got the chance.

A beautiful campus and I love the Architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright.

A short video below I made on the Campus.

I saw a few of these black wagons on the side of the road with Amish people selling produce while I was on vacation.  I think it was in Virginia or West Virginia instead of PA



"SUNDAY FUNNIES"

Were these just cute donkeys or did they allude to a Jackass? 

They are quite often found on these comic cards.

NEW FASHIONABLE

Backed by 22 years of tradition and close association

with the midwest people...Peony Terrace has a definite

appeal in the realm of dance seekers, as the most beautiful

indoor dancing rendezvous in the midwest.

VACATION IS OVER

I had a wonderful road trip with my brother.  We drove almost 4,000 miles.  Went through seven states at least.  I'll get something together to post as soon as possible.  

For now I will give you a glimpse of Florida in the Summertime.  It is June and our Poinciana trees are in full bloom.  They are absolutely beautiful.
