Thanks Natalie from Kiev in Ukraine! She sent this postcard in response for my postcard! 🙂 This illustration is by Gopehinska, who is a famous painter in Ukraine. The caption on the card means “Angel Gosha”, Gosha is the short form of name George.
The stamps are released in 2012, from a series of flowers and trees. The 5 ‘dollar’ one is Alnus incana – a wide range across the cooler parts of the Northern Hemisphere. The 30K one is Fraxinus excelsior (歐洲白蠟樹).

A postcard from Hamilton, a small town, but an hour time to reach the Washington DC, in Virginia in the United States of America. The postcard features a beautiful and famous painting – Cliff Walk at Pourville, from French Claude Monet. This painting now resides at the Art Institute of Chicago. This piece is one of the rare paintings in which Monet includes human beings. The stamps are so lovely! They are three lighthouses in USA, from left to right : New London Harbour, Connecticut; Fortland Head, Maine; Portsmouth Harbour, New Hampshire. And they are all from the series – New England coastal lighthouses. Take a look at the official website to learn more those lighthouse. Thanks Angi from the United States of America!

A postcard from Canada, featuring a waterfall from Ontario, a province in Canada. The stamp is featuring Black bear cub, released in 2013. Seems they release different types of stamps to international letters, letter to the USA and to Canada.
Black bears are born in late January or early February while their mothers are hibernating. Black bears start off 15-20 centimeter-long, weigh about 225 grams and are bald and blind. Cubs are around 18 months old before they’re weaned and have learned what to eat to survive on their own.
