  • Dear Judy, You had an excellent idea to scan and present all these beautiful images of the past; We have got from an aunt of Pierre, teacher of an Auvergne village, 3 precious books as wills when she died: one on France, one on the world and one on antic civilizations; They are full of images all aged from one siecle to more! I have already thought to picture some unbelievable images present in all pages of these voluminous three books as the transformation of some towns and sites is outstanding! Very good idea a new time, with my best thoughts, Jacques

  • Dearest Judy, you had a great idea with this album! I enjoyed myself thoroughly following in your steps! If I only had patience.....I could do the same thing with my huge postcard collection! Hope you're fine! Hugs from Gabriela

  • Hi Judy, Wow, it is really great that you went to all the trouble to put these in. Thanks for sharing!! I hope it is cooler up there in NJ than it is here. You know funny thing is, I am ashamed to admit, but I am not sure where Hernando county is here in FL! I have lived here 14 years now.

  • Hi Judy - I like this. You have done a masterful job in getting these all digitized. Interesting to visit your life in postcards. Thanks again for you comments on my Michigan album. I actually went through my life in pictures a while back when I scanned many of the slides I had taken over the past 40 years or so. Some are up here in WS in a series of albums called "Glimpses of a Lifetime" I look at those now though and think I have to do it all over again--the technology for scanning photographic slides has gotten so much better. Thanks again for your comments. Mike

  • Wow, this is something I could not even start with. I have got thousands of postcards:-) A lovely collection, Judy! I also buy many post cards from places I have visited as the professional photographers take so much better pics than I can. On the other hand, I have thought we are not allowed to use such pics that are not ours. I have got only one, maybe, the one taken of me as a child in the album of someone else!! You know, the one Loree has made:-) You did not find me? Merike

  • Hi Judy. What an undertaking this has been - and how well you have done it! So far I have looked through the thumbnails, clicking on places of particular interest. St John, New Brunswick is a big coincidence because I have a great internet friend from Fotki living there and she is always posting photos from the area. For instance, I knew about the Reversing Falls because she has an album on them! Next thing will be a slide show and by then I'll have a pretty fair idea of the ones I want to get up separately and linger over. This has been a great idea and you are fortunate that all these cards were in colour - I have a 1" thick pile of cards from my travelling days in England but they are all black/white and/or sepia. But you have given me an idea, all the same! Thanks for your interest in my Aussie snowfields album - I am gradually working my way through all my old slides and scanning in a few here and there. Many thanks for the link to this album and also for the link to the Crackenback webcam - it'll be night time there now so I'll look at it in the morning. Tattibye for now and catch you again soon. Hugs, Peter

  • Hi Judy, Wheww this album was a lot of work and what a fabulous job you did on it. A lot of wonderful places are represented here. You can imagine my surprise when I saw Saint John here, it made me a bit homesick eeeing my hometown. Many treasured memories and now in a place where you can often travel through the years! Hugs Leslie

  • Hi Judy - This is a great idea, and as has been said, represents a lot of work on your part. I plan to look at all the postcards, but wanted to thank you for your congrats on my photo in the Climate Change Collection - I never would have known it was there if you hadn't said something. Off to a wedding today (isn't everyone?), but will be back to see more! Cheers, Lynne

  • Paul - in answer to your question, the postcards are ones we or the children bought as souvenirs over the years.

  • Hi Judy, quite a collection of post cards! The thought of collecting post cards from the places I have visited had never entered my mind, but it makes great sense. Were these actually mailed or did you just keep them as souvenirs? I must say that they seem in wonderful shape. Best wishes from a slightly moist Cape Coral, Paul. P.S. Thank you for your wonderful and numerous comments on my Grand Teton album.
