Comment by Valentine Mark Herman on July 23, 2023 at 3:10pm: It's coming your way Heleen the next time I go to the Post Office for a stamp. (I don't need a 'reward', but more Boring postcards always welcome to keep this Group going). Regards, Val

Comment by Heleen de Vaan on July 18, 2023 at 8:00pm: Pleasepleaseplease, Val, send that bird-in-tree card to me!!

Those birds ususally cannot fly well, so it is a mystery how the bird reached that high branch. A mystery to be solved, far from boring!

As a reward I will send you 4 boring postcards. Pleeeaaase!

No?

Victor Poulain achieved fame by designing this roundabout on Boulevard Ed Labrasse at Stella Plage, France.

Their names and great works live on forever!
