Sunday Stamps: of the Sea

 Good day, and welcome to a warm morning in the American Midwest.  We are under the heat dome.  It's 8:30 AM and already 80 degrees F (26.7 C).

It's time for Sunday Stamps, and the theme is of the sea.  The US Postal Service has two sets of stamps that fit the theme.

1. Save sea turtles

And 2.  Save the Manatee.

All these images are from the USPS website.

Sunday Stamps: Men who might be fathers

 Good day, and welcome to my blog!

It is a gray cool day in the American Midwest, and time for Sunday Stamps.

The theme is Men who might be fathers.  I don't think these men were biological fathers, but are considered fathers of the USA:

Two humble 1 cent stamps, affixed to many a postcard in the past.  Benjamin Franklin on the left, and George Washington on the right.

Sunday Stamps: Engraved (or looking like it)

 Good day, and welcome to my stamp and postcard blog.

It's a gray day in the American Midwest, but should clear up a bit later.

It's time for Sunday Stamps.  The theme is engraved stamps.  I have some I have shared before, but the actual stamps are buried in a stamp album, deep in a closet.  They look engraved, but I can't check.

A set of stamps ... on stamp collecting!  Newer stamps are printed a different way, and don't have such detail.  They are from some years ago, given the postage rate printed on them.

Sunday Stamps: Creepy-crawlies

 Good morning and welcome to my blog.  It is a cool sunny late Spring day in the American Midwest, and it's time for Sunday Stamps.

The theme today is creepy-crawlies.  This could be insects, or other invertebrates.  Yes insects are on stamps, though not often.

First:

A butterfly from the USPS.  This stamp is for square envelopes.  Most people find this insect beautiful.

And then there's an older stamp:

A dung beetle, from a set of stamps featuring insects released in 1999.  Eww.  Well, the entomologists were happy with that set of stamps.
