Saturday's postcards: 2 cards stashed away more than a decade ago

It's been a quiet (though windy) Saturday. After taking care of all the cat chores — including feeding community ferals Mamacita, Creamsicle and MeowMix — this morning, I spent some more time pruning circa 2012-2014 time capsules, finishing with a satisfyingly heavy bag bound for the trash can. 

During the pruning, I came across a handful of postcards, including these two. The first features a black bear (photographed by Hälle Flygare). More than a decade ago, I put stamps on it but then had some sort of false start on the Postcrossing card I intended to send. So now I have available a bear postcard featuring Jimi Hendrix and Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus stamps (both issued in 2014). Thanks to the nature of USPS forever stamps, the postage is still correct for sending an international postcard! 

The other postcard is a blank "Silveresque" card published by Valentine's. Edinburgh Castle has appeared on Papergreat before, but not this particular card. Now it has once again been liberated from an envelope and can be mailed to someone, to cheer up their day.
