Wow!
For once, Canada Post was speedy!

I'm really glad you liked the sprocket 😊

Two wonderful cards in the mail this morning from Francois and Bryan. Thanks guys!

My cards have just arrived from the printer, so they will be posted today. Thank you for all the cards received so far - I especially like Shaun's view of Dorset.

Last night I got Harvey's card.
I'm really surprised by the tones on that tree. Looks like charcoal. Sweet.

All mine have been shipped out! I actually made two different images this time and I can't quite remember which I sent to whom, so it will be a surprise for both of us. So far I've received a dog, a ribbon on a fence, and a scene from the American West, all of which I really enjoyed! So fun to see all the different approaches to capturing and printing these.

I want to thank you all for the cards that have popped through the letter box over the last week, a wonderfully varied selection of shots.
I have decided to tone the prints so I will get my cards out soon just waiting for some dev trays so I can selenium tone them

Wonderful cards today from Harvey, Francois and grit .
Fabulous all!
The piano tuner from grit is especially a treasure.
Harvey's tree is sublime.
The bridge lift from Francois is really cool.

This is so far a fun and varied exchange

When I returned from a photo shoot this morning there were two very nice postcards waiting for me, one from Ryan and one from Shaun. Thank you very much guys!

Now do I have a story for y'all!
Just a minute ago, I see an old rusted-out Jeep park in front of the house and a guy with a plaid lumberjack coat and a tuque come out and ring at the door. I was really wondering what's up with that. He told me that he lives in an apartment on the following street and that he found a postcard lying on the sidewalk. So he proceeded to deliver it since "nobody sends hand written letters anymore".
It turns out it was Ryan's Piano Tuner postcard!
The image is in perfect shape, corners barely rounded.
Now that it what I call a stoke of luck. He definitely is a good person!

I should add that the mailman came yesterday at 8:30pm... And it has been just sitting there on the sidewalk for all that time without anybody stepping on it.

That's something I worry about when I mail my cards, it would be easy for them to slip between a crack or get lost somehow. I printed a few extra so if someone didn't get one I can send another. I mailed all of them on April 8, hopefully they all made it to their destinations by now.

Must be your lucky day Francois, hope you used it well! People do those kind of deeds here as well, but here it could easily have been gone with the wind.

That's what usually happens to my mail... especially when we have an illiterate mailman (it happened more than once).

Same, I have a few spare ones. But I finally posted them only yesterday morning so don't expect them next Monday… Sorry, it took way longer than I wanted!

What a journey!! Glad it made it to you in one piece!

Not as much as me 😊

Just got Zapsnaps' South African sun last night.
One more for the collection 😊

And great news, the mailman got a headlamp! So there shouldn't be any more lost mail 😊

Phil Snaps · « **Reply #66 on:** **Yesterday** at 09:17:35 AM »

I also got it a couple days ago, love how the sun trail mirrors the railing.

irv_b · « **Reply #67 on:** **Yesterday** at 07:06:54 PM »

I received Phil's card today a colourful scene from France, thanks very much.
Mine were posted on Monday so hopeful that you should all get it soon

astrobeck · « **Reply #68 on:** **Yesterday** at 07:52:37 PM »

Ihave extras as well if anyone is missing one.
I posted mine long ago, so everyone should have one by now...just let me know.
P.S. Bryan, I can resend you one since yours was wrecked in the mail.

Francois · « **Reply #69 on:** **Yesterday** at 11:12:42 PM »

I just got Ed's card in the mail.
A lovely piece of Diana magic. 😊

No need, it’s not that bad. It gives it a little character.

A mysterious card from Ed in the post this morning, thanks!
