Prince of Wales Hotel, Waterton Lakes National Park, Alberta, Canada
Built in 1925, the Prince of Wales Hotel has a commanding view of mountains and lakes.
It has been years since I've taken part in Postcrossing, around 11 yrs., probably, so I am sending you a postcard from Waterton National Park. Sorry my city does not have postcards. WAterton is a 2 hrs. drive from where I live. Such a great town with mountains, a lake, a handfull of stores, plenty of nature and a bunch of wildlife!
My town is Airdne, but it is not like Waterton although we still see the mountains and also prairies and hills where I live.
I like spring. Everything is blooming here and looking so pretty Leaves blooming on trees, grass turning green, dandelions coming up. It's a beautiful time of the year. Jodie
My first job was as a page in the city library. I absolutely loved it! I got to decorate the children's reading area, look at neat books as I put them away, and my friends could always visit. I hope that you like this card. Happy Spring!
The amazing totem poles in Stanley Park
Hi - how are you? Here are some "wild" animals of a different sort! Stanley Park has a collection of Aboriginal creativity, talent & art. We are also lucky to have such a park in Vancouver. The park can be used year round - except for the pools. One uses sea water in the summer, so you can swim "in the ocean" without the waves. I have been to Arizona many times and explored most of it. I was surprised the first time to find how much AZ changed N to S. Came to appreciate, though. All the best, Susan

Hello Chris, I am a junior high school teacher, but still 7 - 8 years away from retirement. I teach social studies and phys. ed. A job at the library sounds like a great "after teaching" job - still get to work with kids, but no lesson planning! I just picked up some overproduced Halloween stamps. I hope you like the one I've affixed to the card. Happy Christmas and all the best in '18. Curt
Hi Chris. Greetings from Toronto, Canada. I am also a recently retired primary teacher (sp. ed.). I had a peek at your website link in your profile and have to wonder if you know Canada's beloved poet Dennis Lee. His poem THE MUDDY PUDDLE is delightful. Google it!! This card is by American artist Judith Sparks. It's cool, Isn't it?
I wish you lots of lovely cards. Happy holidays & happy postcrossing. (I have a good friend in Carlisle, PA!) Shelley
Hi Chris, I'm Katie from Alberta in Western Canada. By education I am an historian of early Medieval Europe...but these days I manage a medical clinic. I loved grad school, especially TAing, but found my own work rather boring. Better as a hobby! all the best, Katie
Hey Chris, I live to travel too!! I've been to about 29 countries so far (including your beautiful country) and I'm not looking to stop anytime soon. Hope you like this postcard.

Happy 241st birthday to your awesome country!! America doesn't look a day over 200, she's aging beautifully. Canada turned 150 on July 1st, but that's not as impressive at 241. Eat a hotdog and light some fireworks for me!

Hi Chris,
Greetings from St. John's NL in Canada. I get a kick out of this card because it's so 'stereotypical Canada' but being from Maine you are probably familiar.
I hope you're having a great day! Sabina

Hello grade 4 class in Tucson, Arizona! I am from a suburb of Vancouver, BC. Here we grow most of the cranberries in the world. Isn't it such a strange way that they are harvested? Do you like cranberry sauce with your turkey? They were probably grown here for "Ocean Spray"!

Hello from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada! Winnipeg is the capital of the Province of Manitoba. The building on this card is the government building with a "golden boy" on top of the dome - it was a gift from France.
Happy Postcrossing, Vera
299. Think Skink
Ontario, Canada
Common Five-lined skinks have the ability to "drop" their tails if grasped in order to escape. The moving tail gragment will distract the predator while the skink escapes. The missing tail with grow back over time, but will not be the same colour or length as before. The Common Five-lined Skink is Ontario's ONLY lizard and they are a species at risk.
