    I must say, I do love that card of Christ the Redeemer. I find it really breathtaking.

    Hey I recognize the Brazilian stamps from an earlier participant! I would also guess that the bush dog is not a dog (Canis) at all.

    thank you for participating.

    I really like those occupation stamps from Brazil. I have a couple Postcrossing postcards from Brazil, but they both have the same boring stamp.

    The bush dog looks like a cross between a dog and the UK badger except for the head colours.

Your ongoing feedback is always appreciated.
If you never return, it is my fault for boring (?) you.
If you return, it is your merit to have discovered a blog worth exploring and following. :)
