2013: Europa - The Postman's Van

Fairy tale houses in Madeira known as casinhas de Santana.  An island that looks like the perfect place to ride on a post bike.
Fungarium - Illustrator Katy Scott
A postcard of one of the images from Kew Garden's 'Welcome to the Museum' series of books.  The Fungarium illustrations are by Katy Scott in collaboration with Esta Gaya, a senior researcher at Kew Botanical Gardens who is especially fascinated by lichen.  Guess what, the image is of a lichen - Umbrella basidiolichen.  The basidiolichens are a genius of lichen that are poorly researched according to wikipedia

Somehow I feel that the first and the second cards are connected :)

I had not heard of Santana houses before, and am off to read more about them. They are adorable! Nice vehicle for mail delivery.

Great card, and the bonus red on the postal vehicle is nice to see

Strolling through the streets of Madeira would be the best way to admire these houses. The lichen card makes me want to do some research. And all smiles for Snoopy and Woodstock (and me!)
