LEPORIDS (RABBITS and HARES). Another one of my non-traditional MAXIMUM CARDS with YOTH (Year of the Hare), from USA, made with a folded card which I can "postcardize" anytime, should I want. Should I? Pictorial postmark from Los Angeles, California, February 5, 2011

LEPORIDS (RABBITS and HARES). Another one of my non-traditional MAXIMUM CARDS with YOTH (Year of the Hare), from USA, made with a folded card which I can "postcardize" anytime, should I want. Should I? Pictorial postmark from Los Angeles, California, February 5, 2011.

All domestic LEPORIDS are rabbits.
The one above has flaccid downward ears.
The wild ones, rabbits and hares - don't.
What happens when a heart shape elongates its lobes? Won't it resemble a hare head shape, with upward ears? Find it in the above image.
If not, I'll find it for ya.

See my previous blogpost about the differences between RABBITS and HARES:

Guest Heart Thursday #78


Welcome to Guest Heart Thursday -
A place to share YOUR heart!

I like what Merrie Casteel commented at mashable.com: "Having just learned STEVE JOBS has passed, I can’t help but quote his words from 2005. “Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose.” In the end, no matter how much money or how much impact you have on the world, we all die. It is the one thing we truly all have in common. If that doesn’t change the way you live, I don’t know what will."

See the 10 slides here:

"Were you surprised by Apple’s announcement of the new Cards app for iPhone? You shouldn’t be — it’s a multi-billion dollar industry that has so far weathered the recession better than most.

According to the U.S. Greeting Card Association, Americans send 7 billion greeting cards every year, with the average household buying 30 cards. Retail sales of greeting cards within the States are estimated to be in excess of $7.5 billion.
The figures are no less impressive when you leave U.S. shores."

"Dorincard: Blogger Dorin C is a stamp and postcard fanatic, and luckily he's more than pleased to write prolifically and charmingly about his obsession. He has a particular bent for stamps with wild mammals on them, but his blog demonstrates an affinity for stamps of all forms and backgrounds, as long as they offer a special narrative that's worth sharing with his readers.

    Postcards and stamps, mainly featuring mammals and birds but Dorincard also has other creations
    and interests he likes to share.
    His enthusiasm for Maximum cards (a postcard and a similar themed stamps sent through the
    postal system) shines through.
    He shows how he gets the right card, stamp and postmark together.
    Visiting his site you will also learn things about the natural world told with a dry sense of humour,
    possibly with a play on words, and a unique style of headings.
    Topical and informative both for the enthusiast and casual visitor.
