Sunday Stamps: the letter "K"

 Good day, and welcome to my blog.  It is a cool sunny morning in the American Midwest - more autumnal weather than last week.

It's time for Sunday Stamps, and we are up to the letter K.

I am sharing a stamp I have posted before - a stamp from Korea (South Korea).


At the time I did not know the details about this stamp.  Someone in the comments noted that this was a stamp commemorating the Korean Coast Guard.  This stamp came to me on a Postcrossing postcard.

Sunday Stamps: The letter "J"

 Good day, and welcome to my blog.  It is a nice autumn day in the American Midwest.   It is expected to reach 82 degrees F today, and my phone tells me this is 13 degrees F higher than normal.  It's been a very warm autumn so far.

It's time for Sunday Stamps, and we are up to the letter J.  I have a stamp from Japan I'd like to share.


Nippon is the name used for the Japanese country by the Japanese.  This may be a copy of an older artwork.

Sunday Stamps: The Letter "I"

 Good day, and welcome to my blog.  It's a beautiful sunny morning in the American Midwest.  We did get some rain last week!

In the tour of the alphabet, we are up to the letter "I".  I have two stamps from Iceland:


A lava field from a large eruption on the top, and what looks to be a radio telescope on the bottom?  I am not sure.

I am having fun finding stamps for each letter of the alphabet.

Sunday Stamps: the letter "H"

 Good day, and welcome to my blog. 

It is a warm sunny day in the American Midwest.  We really need some rain.

We are up to the letter "H" in the tour of the alphabet.  Here is a British stamp celebrating Edmund Halley:


Edmund Halley (1656 - 1742) was an English astronomer, mathematician and physicist.  He is remembered most, I suspect, for computing the orbit of a bright comet, and predicting its return.  This comet is known as Halley's comet now.  This illustration is a mash-up of Halley's face and the comet.  I am not sure it's successful.
