A Zazzle card of Heather's picture from her trip to the woods

Thank you Hezzie for this beautiful view of the woods. I love cards of trees and here it looks like if you wait long enough you might see a deer or a fairy!

Providence

 

Providence is the capital and most populous city in Rhode Island. Founded in 1636, it is one of the oldest cities in the United States.It is located in Providence County, and is the third largest city in the New England region.

Providence was founded by Roger Williams, a religious exile from the Massachusetts Bay Colony. He named the area in honor of "God's merciful Providence" which he believed was responsible for revealing such a haven for him and his followers to settle.

Once nicknamed the "Beehive of Industry," Providence began rebranding itself as the "Creative Capital" in 2009 to emphasize its educational resources and arts community.

I labeled this under Funny Names although Providence isn't a funny word, but what I do find Funny is that a word is used as a name of a city :) Thank you Hezzie for this beautiful view from Providence! love the beautiful Forever stamp too!
