This week: our theme is trees.
I just received the following stamps on a card from the Ukraine. There must be a series of leaf stamps, I'm thinking.
On the left: I believe is a horse chestnut, and on the right an ash? I must admit my botany is nearly non-existent. Feel free to correct me.
Please, also feel free to join me this week with any tree stamp.
Theme next week: Open, anything you wish. I am tapped out at the moment.
I am on Facebook if you want to keep up with my posts: just search for Viridian61.

I didn't recognize either, so I looked them up. The left one is a horse chestnut, but the right one is a small-leaved lime.

these are really pretty :) i have gone for a more general, or should i say ambiguous appoach..!
Harder than I thought this week. I could make a study of leaves.
Nice leaves :)
I found trees harder to find that I thought it would be.
Have you thought of posting the themes say for a month in advance? I know I don't always have the time to search for something and scan it, also it would mean that you choose the themes and post the list once a month, and then don't need to think about them every week :)
I also found stamps featuring trees to be harder than I expected. So I went off in a slightly artistic(?) direction.
I seem to be in the minority or just lucky because I found several tree stamps.
I'll join Sheila with my abundance of trees.
