Lovely Moomins


Postcard IDCA-560577
Country: Canada

Here is absolutely amazing card. Each cell with Moomin character is a sticker! Also here are all my fauvorite characters in one place :)
A week ago I installed a game Moomin Valley to see all these guys each day :)

Also the card contains some beautiful stamps, but I indentified only one. There is no year signature on the stamp, I checked period from 2000 till 2015 and haven't found these 2 big stamps.
However the small one is from the series 'Beneficial Insects' issued in 2007:

Geri's game


Postcard IDCA-499992
Country: Canada

To be honest I haven't watched this animated film yet. But postcard looks so kind that I think that I should watch this film as soon as possible :)

Geri's Game is a 1997 computer animated short film made by Pixar, written and directed by Jan Pinkava. Although Pixar had started out with a successful string of shorts in the 1980s, these were put on hold for most of the 1990s to focus on for-hire work, and development of the feature films Toy Story and A Bug's Life; Geri's Game was the first Pixar short since the 1989 short Knick Knack. The film won an Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film in 1998.

Also this postcard has a stamp issue for Chinese New Year theme:

Saugeen First Nation


Postcard IDCA-341265
Country: Canada

Here is Belarus we like any stories about first nations in America. We watch films and read books. Now I also have a chance to receive postcard with them.

Saugeen First Nation is an Ojibway First Nation located along the Saugeen River and Bruce Peninsula in Ontario, Canada. Organized in the mid-1970s, Saugeen First Nation is the primary political successor apparent to the Chippewas of Saugeen Ojibway Territory.

The Saugeen First Nation's reserve includes four land reserves and portions of Lake Huron. The land-reserves are Chief's Point Reserve No. 28, Saugeen Reserve No. 29, Saugeen Hunting Grounds No. 60A and Saugeen & Cape Croker Fishing Island Indian Reserve No. 1. Of the four, Saugeen Reserve No. 29 is considered the main reserve, while Saugeen & Cape Croker Fishing Island Indian Reserve No. 1 is shared with Chippewas of Nawash Unceded First Nation.

Here is a Canadian stamp:

Ottawa, Canada


Postcard IDCA-443562
Country: Canada

This card shows an aerial view of the Parliament Buildings at night with the Chateau Laurier on the right.

The Fairmont Château Laurier is a 660,000-square-foot hotel with 429 guest rooms in downtown Ottawa, Ontario, located near the intersection of Rideau Street and Sussex Drive and designed in the French Gothic Châteauesque style to complement the adjacent Parliament buildings. The hotel is above the Rideau Canal locks and overlooks the Ottawa River. The main dining room (now the Laurier Room) overlooks Major’s Hill Park. The reception rooms include the Wedgewood-blue Adam Room; the Laurier Room defined by Roman columns; the Empire-style ballroom and the Drawing Room featuring cream and gold plaster ornament. The hotel was designated a national historic site in 1980.

Also I see here an interesting stamp. It's not a real stamp that sticked on the postcard, but printed image that says that postage paid:

Stanley Park Totem, Canada


Postcard IDCA-411406
Country: Canada

This great card was sent to me by Chinese girl Vicky from Canada. When I'm going to Canada I will know the places I should visit ;)

One of the province's most popular attractions is a group of eight totem poles at Brockton Point. Four totem poles were originally brought from Alert Bay and placed at Lumbermen’s Arch in 1924. Some had been carved back in the late 1880s. More totem poles were purchased in the 1920s and 1930s, this time originating from the Queen Charlotte Islands and Rivers Inlet. All of the totem poles were moved to Brockton Point in 1962 to allow the construction of an overhead road at Lumberman's Arch. Many of them have been replaced with replicas, with the originals now kept in museums for preservation. The most recent addition, erected in 2009, was carved by a member of the Squamish Nation whose mother was born in Stanley Park

And look on this beautiful horse on stamp!

Niagara Falls


Postcard ID: CA-403122
Country: Canada

This card is one from my favourites coming to me this January. I think that this view as absolutely amazing and incredible. Sometimes I revert this card head over heels and imagine that this is polar lights :)

As wrote on the backside "the Falls and landscape are awash in light every night of the year".

Niagara Falls is the collective name for three waterfalls that straddle the international border between Canada and the United States; more specifically, between the province of Ontario and the state of New York. 

Niagara Falls were formed when glaciers receded at the end of the Wisconsin glaciation (the last ice age), and water from the newly formed Great Lakes carved a path through the Niagara Escarpment en route to the Atlantic Ocean. While not exceptionally high, the Niagara Falls are very wide.

I would like to see this beauty with my own eyes :)

Also this card has nice stickers...:


...and nice Christmas stamp:
