Another cardinal?! I love the roadrunners. Not a beautiful bird, but so much character. And I can't help thinking about the roadrunner and Wile E Coyote!
ReplyDelete*meep meep* :))
ReplyDeleteYes, this time I go for the roadrunner, because
of the beautiful and colourful landscape that
comes with it :))
Have a beautiful day, John!

I'm fond of the roadrunner, too. But that bluebird and rose are so beautiful! That sure is a fine looking stamp for New York, too. :-)
ReplyDeleteI especially like the bluebird! You have such a great collection of cards with state birds!
ReplyDeleteyup, gotta love a roadie!
ReplyDeleteThe Bluebird steals the show today,at least for me.Thanks for your visits,John.I am doing well.
ReplyDeletePretty birds. Love the striking red cardinal.
ReplyDeleteNow New Mexico is really different as the terrain is very different.
ReplyDeleteMore cardinals I see. They must be the most common state bird.
ReplyDeleteSo hard to choose favourites but I like the bird of New Mexico.
ReplyDeleteEastern bluebird is so cute!
ReplyDeleteToday's birds are from three states I've never been . All are beautiful designs though!
ReplyDeleteJohn,
ReplyDeleteYour postcards are so precious and it takes me back to simpler times when illustrations were simple, but beautiful and non-offensive. Thanks so much for sharing these.
Always love to see a Cardinal!
ReplyDeleteHi John. Thank you so much for stopping by my blog. I really like the roadrunner. They are here in Oklahoma and at least once a week I will see one visiting us on our front porch. Very cool bird!
ReplyDeleteahhhh...miss my days of youth hiking in the deserts and mountains of New Mexico. Sking Ski Apache. Sigh
ReplyDeleteJust wonderful! A valuable collection!
