Sunday stamps # 63

This week's theme is flowers, or Spring. 


Here are some roses from Great Britain.  This is an older stamp that had been hiding in my desk drawer at work.  But I do not how old this stamp is.

Spring is going strong here in the Midwest! Four days of well above average temperatures has made the trees and bushes bud, and then burst open with new little leaves.

If you use Facebook, you can follow me there at http://www.facebook.com/pages/Viridian61/347674418583948.

Now I ask for your help.  I am running low on ideas for themes for Sunday Stamps.  April is  National Poetry month, so there is one theme.  But do you have some suggestions for future themes, ones where people in different parts of the world will be able to find a related stamp?  What have I overlooked?

So, as you can guess, the theme for next week is anything you wish!

    I like the themes of postal history and postal services.

    I think a better idea is to have a suggested theme that people don't have to follow unless they have stamps fitting the theme and/or want to follow the theme.

    Hi Viridian!
    I love the idea of Sunday Stamps, and I am excited to join in this week.
    As for stamp themes, I am new and haven't explored all your blog posts, so I apologise if some of these have previously been covered. But here are some possible themes:
    1. Industrial heritage
    2. Science/scientists
    3. National Parks/ Wilderness areas
    4. Or my current favourite theme: Maps on Stamps.

    Cheers!
    Helen.

    all of the above are good ideas (though I like having a theme, even a very generic one, just to see how people will interpret it)

    I also thought of:
    anniversaries
    music
    literature, reading
    food
    flying
    activities or action
    cartoons or cartoonish figures
    ... and stamps that no matter how hard you try, you just have no idea what they are representing!

    Hello Viridian,

    It's been quite a while...

    Thanks for the flower theme. I've got a few to share :)

    Happy Sunday!

    How about:

    Olympic Games
    National Sports (in my country these are Rugby, Soccer and Cricket)
    Unusual Sports (that you don't see often like archery)
    Winter Sports
    non-team sports (like Tennis or Golf)

    Explorers
    Early explorers
    Space explorers

    Hobbies (anything from mountaineering to origami)

    Artistic Expressions - art, music, dance

    Landscapes

    Animals
    Endangered
    From each continent
    Venomous or Poisonous
    Biggest or smallest

    You have a comprehensive list already. I'd just add architecture.

    Wow, the suggested themes are wonderful! We do not have spring here in Cambodia but the flower trees in the city are in bloom.

    I just posted mine, will come back for the second entry later (a bit of ironing to do on a Sunday, can you believe it?haha). Meanwhile, here's my first entry:

    I like both postcardy's suggestions, and especially that it's not necessary to follow the theme. I prefer a theme myself but it would be a shame if people felt they couldn't join in for want of an exact match.

    I chose a rose too for my second entry. Aren't they lovely?
    I wouldn't mind if you repeated themes. There is always one more stamp from this or that subject we can post about.
