Another Postcard landed on my mailbox. Thanks Karolina!

Not much to say about the postcard theme, other than coming from Germany, it doesn't come as a surprise. I'd be happy to use the coupon but sadly  it would have to be Alcohol free for me... 

The sender, Karolina, is a honey producer, so it doesn't surprise me to see a stamp with "Maya the bee" and her friend Willy, was used, as well as another stamp with a bee's best friend.. a flower.

The 0,80 stamp is illustrated with the image of Maya the Bee, and her friend Willy.

Maya the bee (Die Biene Maja), was the main character of a children's book published in 1912, writen by German author Waldemar Bonsels. I was familiar with both bee characters because in the late 70's or early 80's, Maya the Bee run as a Japanese anime series on Portuguese TV, and even though I was past the age of watching it, Kids were crazy about it.

The 0,15€ stamp was issued on 18DEC2018, as part of the long standing definitive emission started in 2005 themed on wild flowers. it shows a milkmaid (Cardamine pratensis). 

The postmark reads Briefzentrum 49, what would indicate that my postcard was posted in the city of Osnabrück, a city in the State of  Lower Saxony, birthplace of ErichMaria Remarque of "All quiet in the Western Front" fame.
