springscapes

 
 
I'm yearning to catch spring up in our city again this season.
Unfortunately for the first time in my life I find myself with an allergic reaction to our
abundance of pollen. Apologies for the low resolution of these photos, but that's what
 happen when you pull them off an old post to work with them.

Thanks to Vee for hosting this fun card party every month.
And oh yes, if you use cards of this shape (the top three--square)
don't forget you need extra postage.
Did you hear that the canceling of Saturday mail has been canceled?

  3. Lovely! We are a bit behind with spring this year but it will be here--or, maybe summer will just heat us up. This is the first year that I've ever had a sign of an allergy. I actually made an appointment with my eye doctor as I thought I had a clogged tear duct. He said my eyes were fine--just not liking the pollen.

    Best,
    Bonnie

  4. Spring is such a wonderful time of year - I'm sorry you are suffering from allergies. Not fun. I especially like the view from the coffee shop table - it looks like a relaxing and beautiful place to stay for a few hours.

  6. That is the sweetest statue! Sometimes I run my photos through an editing program to see if I can improve it...sometimes yes and sometimes no. :D

    Local honey for those allergies...works great for me anyway.

  7. That's a great statue! Thanks for sharing your photos. [I had not heard about the Saturday cancellation being cancelled... good to know!] Thanks for the tip on the extra postage too! =)

  8. I love your collection.
    I would love to receive the one of tulips with the bike in the background - stunning!

    Interesting about your mail... we are being threatened with dropping down to three deliveries a week. I'm sure the Saturday post has gone as there's only rubbish in our box at the weekends.
    All because of the internet!!!

  10. Delightful note cards Dotsie; yum, a Starbucks on the side.
    We've never had Saturday delivery and I've heard a rumour of Canada Post possibly only delivering 3 times a week in the future.

  11. These are all so pretty with the frames around them. The last one is my favorite....but I like that you chose 4 very different photos. I hope you feel better soon. We have terrible pollen here in Florida right now!

  14. You have Saturday mail? I can't even remember when we lost that - it was so long ago.
    I'm sorry to hear about your allergies - not fair that allergies come just exactly when we most want to be outside!

  15. Beautiful photo composition! I loved my visit here.

  16. I hope you get relief from allergies soon. That's a miserable situation feeling, isn't it? Your pics may be low in resolution this week, but they're high in "pretty." Of course I love the sculpture of the children, but the bicycle and tulips is delightful!

  17. Happy Spring! Love the Starbucks shot and the wonderful sculpture. All your selections scream -- SPRING! Bring it on! (I've been having trouble with pollen this year, too)

    I enjoyed seeing your springscape pictures. Sorry you're having allergy problems. Hopefully some April showers will soon wash it away.

  19. Love the springtime theme! And I didn't know that they charge extra for square cards. What a ripoff!

  20. Your note card photos are all charming! The sidewalk table (including the Starbucks cup!) calls my name. I love tulips! The sculpture is sweet...

    Yes, I love them all!

    Hope you soon have relief from your allergies, so that you can enjoy spring in the city!

  27. The spring photo Note Cards are lovely, it makes me want to see flowers, soil and bare ground.
    I don't think we've ever had Saturday mail delivery and I'm surprised that you still have it in the USA.
    Have a good weekend!

  28. Great post...and get MAIL ART out to keep our USPS going strong! How about if everyone here in the NOTE CARD PARTY, print out at least one of their note cards and send it off to a friend! 4 X 6 PHOTOS, require nothing more than a postcard stamp...check out the LIBERATE YOUR ART 2013 POSTCARD SWAP...
