Sunday Stamps: Butterflies

 Good day, and welcome to my blog.  It is a cool rainy morning in the American Midwest.  I've had some coffee, and it's time for Sunday Stamps.

The theme this week is butterflies or dragonflies.  Having none in hand, I turned to the web site of the US Postal Service.

This is the Colorado Hairstreak butterfly, native to the American west and southwest.  It can be found in forests and close to oak trees.  More on this species can be found on the US Postal service website.
This stamp is for large, lumpy, or square letters that can't go through the sorting machines.  That's what they mean by "non-machinable surcharge" printed on the stamp.

I have a page on Facebook: keep up with my infrequent quilt and stamp posts at https://www.facebook.com/pages/Viridian61/347674418583948?ref=hl

What a pretty way to 'decorate' your lumpy package! We would just get a boring meter stamp.

We coincided again today. This is a beautiful stamp.

A beautiful stamp for an unusually shaped package. I have never seen one of these special stamps before. Just another piece of postal quirks that us stamp nerds love.
