sent to Melody Mint in Thailand, who asks what is the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Thailand? May answer: it is a place I would like to visit one day.

sent to Anthony in Canada! He asked for music recommendations, so of course I wrote him Big Mama Thornton, my favorite blues artist. I've also been listening to a lot of latin pop lately, like Pierdo la Cabeza and Sigueme te Sigo.

My Shanty, Lake George, 1922
by Georgia O'Keeffe (American, 1887 - 1986). Oil on canvas, 20x27 inches. at the Phillips Collection, Washington, D.C.

Sent to Yan in Hong Kong. I absolutely love her writing prompt: "For me, image is powerful. So I wish you can send me a postcard with your drawing instead of only words. It would be fun. I will do the same thing when I send post card. You can draw everything, such as your hobbies, your pet, your mood, first thing in your mind.....There are no right or wrong, good or bad. Just a drawing."

I drew a little map on the back showing where I grew up... in a barn (hence the postcard)

That prompt on swap-bot would be great I think.

Whoa

Warning: another not-correspondence post...

My Fair Lady (1956) - In this musical version of G. B. Shwa's Pygmalion (1913), phonetics expert Professor Henry Higgins transforms a Cockney slower vendor into a well-spoken woman of the world. Highlights include "I Could Have Danced All Night" and "Get Me to the Church On Time."

This is not a correspondence post, but I have to share and save this forever.

Sea Sheep!

Isn't this the cutest thing ever? Up to 30mm in length, this sea slug gets energy from photosynthesis! I want one!
