Postcard: Shenandoah Valley

Apple blossom time in the Shenandoah Valley, Winchester, VA.

Although it's still technically winter, it's feeling mighty spring-y just about everywhere. So, I think it's time I started posting my blossom postcards. This first one is pretty old, probably 1930s-1940s but was never sent so there's no postmark. I do love the hand-tinted blossoms here - instead of pink, they're pink, coral, yellow, green and white...

A Happy Easter

Wishing everyone who celebrates it, a very Happy Easter! This lovely postcard is from around 1906 - 1909. Enjoy a lovely day today!

Postcard: Niagara Falls, Canada

Niagara Falls, Canada. The Canadian Horsehoe Falls with a few of the 500,000 daffodils that bloom in Queen Victoria Park in the spring.

John Robie (as Conrad Burns): Miss Stevens, what you need is something I have neither the time nor the inclination to give you.

Francie Stevens: Really, what's that?

John Robie: Two weeks with a good man at Niagara Falls.
