Franck Auberson. Squirrel.

As you all probably know, I love animals. I grew up in Manitoba, where we only had grey and red squirrels. I was really excited when I moved to Hamilton, Ontario in August 2009 because they also had black squirrels like this guy. Too cute.

This postcard is just weird, which is why I like it. Who thinks of these things? I can't quite understand what is going on and why someone would create this and then sell it! I always try to imagine what goes on at the creative meetings at these companies when someone wants to make a card like this. Do they present this as an idea? and everyone agrees? I wonder what cards didn't make the cut.

Vintage postcard.

I received this one from Finland through Postcrossing. I love that it's a vintage card and of a dog! If you don't know what postcrossing is yet, check it out! I just love it. I recently started again after about a two year hiatus. It's so much fun.

Yoshitomo Nara. dogs from childhood. 1999.

Taina and I had both bought the Yoshitomo Nara postcard book from Chronicle. I never minded when we bought the same postcards. I buy them because I like them, so it's always nice to get one back because I've had to send it away! I loved this Nara card because I just love her dog sculptures. Any postcard with a dog or animal gets on my favourite list automatically.

I love these deer. My mom found them for me in Pacifica, CA.

My mourning dove returned to her nest this year. Last year she built one nest. So far this is her second clutch for this year. I think her first clutch completely failed and I found her dead baby on my porch. So far this clutch seems to be doing better.
