Maldives II

After trying for ages to get a card from the Maldives, I've now received two only a few weeks apart! And not only that, but the two postcards have the same photo of Male' Atoll. (Although this card is jumbo sized). I only have two other doubles card in my collection, and I always think it's a wonderful and crazy coincidence. Special thanks to My of the Maldives for agreeing to swap!

Maldives

I've been trying to get a postcard from the Maldives for ages. I was beyond happy when friend Molly announced her holiday plans to the idyllic Maldives. She reports that it is indeed as paradisiacal as all the tourist  brochures make it out to be. My very hearty thanks to Molly, naturally, for this card.

Black-saddled coralgrouper, Plectropomus laevis, is a large reef fish that grows longer than one metre.
