Handmade Postcards Dump - Beaches

Recently I saw a user profile on Postcrossing that he/she does not prefer handmade postcards because the user believes that if he/she has the time to buy postcard, so does most of the other users.
I was a bit confused because making postcards is far more time-consuming than to go to the local bookstore or souvenir store buying postcard. Some people, like I do, make postcards as their hobbies for simple pleasure but not because of some reason like convenience.
Anyway, every one has their personal preference......













This first one was taken near my home while the rest were taken during picnic by my family.
These are more like photos than postcards......

"Petit Bateau" means "little boat", which is a brand name of clothes,
