postcards
Mailed vacation greetings
Postcards are small cards for mailing without an envelope, typically featuring an image on one side and space for a brief message, address, and stamp on the other.
Tourists send postcards from vacation destinations: Wish you were here!
The format implies brevity and informality—a postcard message is short by design.
Figuratively, something postcard-perfect is scenic enough to appear on one.
