The Swallow's Nest

Sender: Tanjywka

The Swallow's Nest is a decorative castle near Yalta on the Crimean peninsula in southern Ukraine. It was built between 1911 and 1912 in Gaspra, on top of 40-metre high Aurora Cliff, to a Neo-Gothic design by the Russian architect Leonid Sherwood. The castle overlooks the Cape of Ai-Todor of the Black Sea and is located near the remnants of the Roman castrum of Charax. Swallow's Nest is one of the most popular visitor attractions in Crimea, becoming the symbol of Crimea's southern coastline.

Love Is.....

Sender: Raia

"Love is a many splendored thing,
It's the April rose that only grows in the early spring,
Love is nature's way of giving a reason to be living,
The golden crown that makes a man a king.
Lost on a high and windy hill,
In the morning mist two lovers kissed and the world stood still,
When our fingers touch my silent heart has taught us how to sing,
Yes, true love's a many splendored thing."

Catching Snowflakes With Your Tongue

Sender: Le_vik

A painting by a Ukrainian artist, Evgenia Gapchinska

(An unknown artist to me, I'm so glad Le-vik introduced her work as I definitely love this card!)

"Winter is the king of showmen

Turning tree stumps into snow men

And houses into birthday cakes

And spreading sugar over lakes

Smooth and clean and frosty white

The world looks good enough to bite

That’s the season to be young

Catching snowflakes on your tongue

Snow is snowy when it’s snowing

I’m sorry it’s slushy when it’s going"

-Ogden Nash, Winter Morning Poem

Have you done this before? Catching snowflakes with your tongue?

From Wikihow.com: How to catch a snowflake in your mouth:-

1) Spot a nice sized snowflake and focus on it. Stay focused on one until it's in your mouth and you can go after another.

2) Open your mouth as wide as it can go, without dislocating your jaw.
3) Don't close your mouth. If you do you will probably end up losing your train of thought and besides, you know what's going to happen, the snowflake is going to melt in your mouth.
4) Then keep your tongue out and watch it melt!
