P is for Postcards

I love collecting postcards, not only of places I've visited, but also of pictures that I like or that interest me. I love browsing the postcard racks in book stores and museums. So I wanted to share some of my favorite postcards for the letter P. I admit this is a little bit of a cop-out, as I don't have a lot of time to write today. Hopefully the pictures will speak for themselves.




 

This one is probably my favorite. I love this Munch painting, and I have often felt this way myself. I can relate to this guy. ;)

    The Scream by Munch is one of my favorite paintings. :) Museums have all sorts of great postcards.

    The first postcard made me laugh. I started collecting black and white postcards when I was in high school, and my room was covered in them. Great post!

    Wonderful postcards! Old ones are the best--less slick and reminiscent of the past!

    Thanks for sharing,

    Lovely! I wonder about writing a postcard with as many P words as possible?

    The postcards do speak for themselves. Great word for P. One of the things I like about blogging is using visuals. This post is a good example of an excellent visual post.

    love the postcards! I used to collect them, and had one wall of our dorm covered with them by senior year. I think they're all still in a box somewhere... you've made me curious...

    What a great thing to collect. I like the one with the lady and the dog. :) I'll have to keep my eye out for some good post cards the next time I get the chance.

    @BREA, I can't remember now where I got the Chat Noir card, but I love it too. Hope you can find one!

    @Yvonne, so glad you liked the cards, thanks.

    @Amy, I have a little figure of the Munch guy too that I keep on my desk, I love him.

    @Bob, that's what I thought too, I love how the dog looks so comfortable behind the wheel. Thanks!

    @Julie, thank you!

    @MJ, thanks for coming by, it's great to meet you!

    I don't see it as a copout. You can pretty much blog on anything during the A-Z Challenge so long as it pertains to the letter of the day. Postcards work great for P. Thanks for sharing some of your favorites!

    Great idea for a P-post. I love postcards too. In fact, I have some of my favorites framed and hanging on my walls.
