Hello Mr. McMillen / Having a wonderful time. The flowers and orange groves are beautiful. Swimming is fine to. / Nancy Niumman / 80 degrees in Eustis, FloridaFirst off, I love the temperature gauge! Many Europeans who send me postcards through postcrossing include the current temperature; I've taken to doing it too when I send cards overseas. Getting to draw would be more fun! Second, I'm a fan of symmetry, even if it's a little boring.

I wonder how often that temp gauge was used on postcards? It's a clever idea, and I've got to believe it was used a number of times. And the image? That's crazy symmetrical! It almost looks like they started with an abstraction and then morphed it into a landscape.
That's a very clever idea with the thermometer, and must have been especially fun for kids like Nancy. I also like the front of the card.
The temperature gauge is so fun! I love the illustration too.
I've never seen the thermometer on a back before. What fun! I wish that feature was the norm and not the exception.
