Postcard IDTR-129991

Four legs are always good


Postcard IDRU-1623468
Country: Russia

Here is one more lovely postcard painted by Victoria Kirdiy.

As usual this card contains a poem. My translation is (sorry for its quality, I just want to explain sense):

If sometimes melancholy eats you
(There can be so melancholy, you even try to run)
Believe that no one helps you so,
As a muzzle, a tail, and four legs.

Also here is one stamp from series "The 275th Anniversary of the Birth of Dimitry Levitsky, 1735-1822" issued in 2010:

White Tail Fawn


Postcard IDUS-2161215
Country: USA

This is a White Tail Fawn (Odocoileus virginianus). Information from the back-side:

The white tail accounts for this deer’s name is useful communicative too. When alarmed, a doe flashes her white tail to alert others of danger and to help her fawns follow her in flight. Once threatened with extinction in the Northeast and Midwest, the white-tailed dear is now more abundant than ever because of hunting restrictions and removal of natural predators.

Looks like Bamby, huh? :)

Mailboxes

The Savior-on-the-Blood Cathedral, St. Petersburg, Russia


Postcard IDRU-1172146
Country: Russia

The Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood is one of the main sights of St. Petersburg, Russia. It is also variously called the Church on Spilt Blood and the Cathedral of the Resurrection of Christ, its official name.

This Church was built on the site where Emperor Alexander II was assassinated and was dedicated in his memory. It should not be confused with the Church on Blood in Honour of All Saints Resplendent in the Russian Land, located in the city of Yekaterinburg where the former Emperor Nicholas II (1868–1918) and several members of his family and household were executed following the Bolshevik Revolution.

Martenitsa


Postcard IDBG-44746
Country: Bulgaria

Wow, this is the first Bulgarian postcard in my blog. Big luck! :)
This postcard shows a spring symbol or, more familiar for me - Martsishor (in Romanian).

A Martenitsa is a small piece of adornment, made of white and red yarn and usually in the form of two dolls, a male and a female. Martenitsi are worn from Baba Marta Day (March 1) until the wearer first sees a stork, swallow, or budding tree (or until late March). The name of the holiday means "Grandma March" in Bulgarian and the holiday and the wearing of Martenitsi are a Bulgarian tradition related to welcoming the spring, which according to Bulgarian folklore begins in March.

The stamp is from series Wild roses issued in 2006:
