HRH Queen Elizabeth II

(Elizabeth Alexandra Mary; born 21 April 1926)

Quote: "The events that I have attended to mark my Diamond Jubilee have been a humbling experience. It has touched me deeply to see so many thousands of families, neighbours and friends, celebrating together in such a happy atmosphere."

A cute shaped postcard, so suitable for postcrossing!

Tung Oil Tree Blossom

Tung Oil Tree Blossom

A deciduous shade tree native to China. Tung oil has been used for paints and waterproof coatings. I have heard of the cherry blossom festival (in Japan) but not of the tung blossom festival but I read that they do have the latter in some Taiwanese districts.

This card is a shaped card (I think it looks like the Gotochi cards people collect from Japan).
