Outgoing Broom Label Postcard

Marleen in Netherlands listed vintage and nostalgic pictures on her Postcrossing profile. So, I chose this little beauty for her. No, really. I chose this "Little Beauty" for her. :)

I found it at the WY Territorial Prison State Historic Site in Laramie, of all places.

The back of the card says that inmates at the WY State Penitentiary made brooms for the Laramie Broom Company. Sounds like it was a sweeping success! Ha!

This Wyoming collage card was sent out to the Phillipines a long time ago.  May of 2011, to be exact.
Sadly, it was one of those cards that was never registered for whatever reason.

Horses in Wyoming

Not only did I see llamas in Wyoming on a recent trip, I saw horses, lots of horses. I, actually, was at this spot to view a historic site, but then these particular horses moseyed over to me while I was taking pictures.

At this point, I'm thinking "oh crap" they're not coming closer to have their pictures taken, they want food, or at least a snack.

Suddenly, it dawned on me that I had some apples!

Well, maybe I was wrong about this one wanting food, I named her "Blondie", she seemed to be striking a pose.

But then, after Blondie finished posing, she gave me this look, as if to say "we know you have apples, cough 'em up, buddy".

So, after they finished eating my apples. They just stared at me. Not sure if they were saying "Thanks, those apples were yummy!" or "What's next?" or both?!

I did manage to take pictures of the historic landmark, too. There it is in the background. It's called Devil's Gate. I'll get to that, eventually, in another post.

I guess that barbed wire didn't bother Blondie's throat at all.

I named this one "Bashful". She had no desire to let me pet her, even after she ate one of my apples.

Blondie, on the other hand, was loving all the head and neck rubs.
Sadly, I had to leave and continue on my journey. But, I thoroughly enjoyed spending a few minutes, up close and personal, with the horses in Wyoming. : )

Llamas in Wyoming

Recently, I spotted these two cuties near Gillette, Wyoming. (After consulting Google, I think they are llamas, not alpacas.)

 Llamas just aren't that common of a sight, like cows and horses.  I might have come across the only two in the state of Wyoming. How lucky is that?!

This cool card went to Steve in Mississippi USA. I felt it touched on 3 of his likes: architecture, history and vintage scenes.
I told him that I had visited Cheyenne just last year and it is now in color! Ha ha! I crack myself up sometimes.
