This is a lovely card from the Joshua Tree National Park.. Thank you for remembering me Arnold on your trip to Arizona. also thanks for the "Year of the Pig " Chinese New Year stamps.
JOSHUA TREE :  Joshua trees are amongst the oldest living organisms in the desert,but determining their precise age is difficult because they do not form annual rings as other trees do with cambrium layers as Oak and Pine do.They range in height from 9 to 30 feet and have trunks between 1.25 and 5 feet in diameter.

Here is a truly wonderful card showing Hopi pottery ..I love the colours of the earth in this card.
 A Hopi wedding Belt and sash belt frame the graceful shapes of Hopi pottery,from the pleasing creation of the Butterfly bowl and wedding vase both in buff white to the stunning earth red polychrome pottery. Hopi Pottery remains traditional in its forms and patterns. It is a treasured piece in any collection. Both the Wedding Belt and the Sash are worn by the "Cachinas"in the many and varied dances and ceremonies. Thank you so Much Arnold for this truly lovely card.and stamps..

Grand Canyon : U.S.A.

 This looks like the way to see the Grand Canyon from another perspective.. by The Grand Canyon Railway. . The Grand Canyon Railway made its first journey into the Grand Canyon in 1901., allowing visitors to see the legendary Canyon in ease and comfort which suited lots of elderly visitors.By 1968 the Railway had almost faded in obscurity as train travel giving way to the rising popularity of Automobile travel. However in 1989 it was resurrected and today carries more than 180,000 passengers a year to The Grand Canyon National Park.. Thanks Benita for this lovely card.
