A Postcard for the Weekend
We've been thinking about a postcard to include in this post for Maria's Postcards for the Weekend. Thanks to Maria for hosting. This week the theme is "Anything you wish." The card we are sharing is a very old one: Rain in the Face, Sioux Warchief. Here is part of what Wiki has to say about him: "Rain-in-the-Face (c. 1835 – September 15, 1905) was a Warchief of the Lakota tribe of Native Americans. His mother was a Dakota related to the band of famous Chief Inkpaduta." Biography is here.

John, it is good to hear from you. Your photo of Haystack rock, with the tiny person, really puts it all in perspective. Well done!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful scenes in each of these pictures.
ReplyDeleteJohn, you found some awesome sky shots again.
ReplyDeleteHello, beautiful captures of Canon Beach. Hubby and I have been there way back in 2012. I love the Oregon coastline and the Haystack Rock. Cute bunny and great closeup of the gull. Lovely sky shots. Thank you so much for linking up your post. I appreciate you comment too. Happy Monday, enjoy your day and week ahead.
ReplyDeleteI love your sky watches. Particularly the streaking sun shot. Wonderful array of 'being there'. Kudos
ReplyDeleteAh, it's wonderful to find you in my news feed, John. I miss you when you don't post for awhile, and your pictures this time are just delightful. I am glad there was that person in the Haystack picture for perspective. Otherwise I wouldn't have known how large it is. Thank you! :-)
ReplyDeleteTerrific pictures. The Haystack Rock is amazing!! Like the sunbeams coming through the trees and the sky pictures are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWonderful pictures! I love how the sunlight shines on the sea on the 'looking south from Ecola park' photos, and the sun rays through the trees.
ReplyDeleteAnd how good that you managed to get the rabbit and sea gull before the camera!
I arrived at your blog via Postcards for the Weekend, and I think you made a great choice by showing a postcard dedicated to a native American, important historical person. I didn't know Rain in the Face, so thank you for having us learn more about US history!

Oregon has such a fantastic and beautiful coastline.
ReplyDeleteI haven't been up there for a while and I think it's about time I did!
Hello John, in response to your comment on my blog -- I will definitely tour you around if/when you come to Singapore! Just let me know in advance :D About the postcard you shared for last weekend's theme, I'm always fascinated on how the Indians select their names! I'm looking forward into seeing more postcards from your collection!
ReplyDeleteWell one thing for sure Oregon must have the most beautiful sea coasts in the world...:)
