A Bear .. Quilting verses Housework

Housework Whenever

This postcard is in honor of all those beautiful quilts you made and the ones yet to come!

If I am laying out like the bear in the front, I want the sun beating down on me while I'm on some tropical island.  No snow for me!

Animals in 3D from Colorado

Colorado

Colorado's natural beauty is enjoyed by all who visit the state.  With over 10 national parks, monuments and historic trails, a variety of recreational actives can be found throughout the mountainous region.  Canyons, mountains, sand dunes, and wildlife grace the landscapes of Colorado creating majestic scenes of rustic beauty.

This postcard was made by Howard Robinson in 2014.

I think most of the animals on this 3-D postcard are a: cougar, otter, sheep, chipmunk, beaver, elk, moose, eagle, deer, bear and a marmot.

Western Wildlife: Eagle, Bear, Buffalo, Cougar, Bighorn Sheep

Western Wildlife
As Easterners moved West, pioneers found animals as exotic as the landscape...buffalo, prairie dogs, bears, beavers, bighorn sheep, cougars, wolves and rattlesnakes.  The eagle became a national symbol.

This is postmarked, First Day of Issue, on Oct. 18, 1994 in Laramie, WY with a matching 19 cent stamp.
