Iowa, USA

I have realized that it's been a long long ago since I have posted an Iowa card here...more precisely 2008...so here comes one to give it the place it deserves...I just started to wonder if I really lack Iowa cards in my collection..

US-1545834

I received this one as an official back in 2012, showing, as the back of the card says, an Iowa Evening Glow.

Iowa is a thriving agricultural state, but one can still find examples of a simpler time while travelling picturesque rural backroads.

If you are asking me, I can just imagine it is too hot there for my taste...though I may be wrong..

I dont often see the Northern Goshawk on stamps, so it is nice to have it here...issued in 2012 in a set of 5 Birds of Prey stamps...George Washington...you know him...

Iowa, USA

Map map map map map map map!!!!

I asked for a map card of Michigan (which im gonna show in some of the next posts) and in addition received to other map cards....so its 3 new states in total!!! Yay!!!

I quote the sender: "This card doesnt make poor Iowa look very exciting, does it?? Pigs and jail prisoners!"

My reply: This card its absolutely hilarious and i love it coz of that!
Ive been analyzing it more than any other map card probably, and just cant help it but have to laugh each time i look at people's faces, at their expressions, at their attitudes...there is something in the way their eyes/nose/mouth are drawn, which gives them an exquisite personality.....and the animals as well...look at the pigs, or the elephant, or the cow....real comedy!!!!
