Sunday Stamps # 144

Hello again after a week away. My conference was very busy, as I had anticipated.  This morning I raked lots of leaves, and this early evening rain came down and knocked down so many leaves, it looked as if I hadn't done anything.  Ah well, that is Fall!

Time for Sunday Stamps!  I hope I have not lost you, with a week off!


Our theme this week is the Arctic or Antarctic.  I am sharing a stamp from Latvia today.


This stamps shows an Emperor Penguin and a small chick.  More information on this species can be found at the Wikipedia entry.  Why they are on a Latvian stamp, I haven't a clue.

Please join me this week with a polar stamp - I do hope you have one.

Theme next week:  Ships and boats of all sorts.

Theme two weeks from now: ???? Help me Sunday Stampers, I need some suggestions!

    These stamps were probably for the Polar Year 2009.
    I do think penguins are adorable ;)

    You can't shake us off so easily!

    I was going to post those penguins too but I had a quick change of plan.

    Fluffy baby penguins are adorable. Possibly landscapes or rivers and lakes as themes.

    An unexpected country for a stamp like this. But definitely worth seeing.

    It sure is difficult to find Arctic stamps, but I'm glad I found some just in time.

    How about beautifully-shaped stamps for next week's edition? :)

    Maybe stamps in a special colour? I suggest orange stamps!

    Or "breakfast stamps"?
