Card Assignment-The Pond Garden

       The postcard I chose was called "The Pond Garden" from 1968.  As you can imagine,the postcard depicted a beautiful view of a garden within a palace situated in England. The fact that the postcard was left blank secretly killed me on the inside.  The first thing that came to mind was how such a beautiful postcard went to waste, as it  was clearly left behind unwritten and without a stamp. Apart from its beautiful scenery and questionable mystery, the postcard held certain traits that drew me in.  First, the scenery in itself resembled  certain scenes from the film "Alice in Wonderland". The "Pond Garden" reminded me of the palace where a character called, the "Queen of Hearts" lived.  The structure of the garden including its vivid flowers, elegant architecture, and unique statues seemed to give me an image that you could only see in movies.  Ever since I was a child, I dreamed of roaming about my own palace and strolling casually within a garden as seen in this picture. Nevertheless, this postcard ironically motivates me to be successful as I know that hard work eventually pays off.  http://www.fsucardarchive.org/items/show/108.
