Sunday Stamps: Blue

 Good Day, and welcome to my blog.  It is a warm cloudy morning in the American Midwest.  

It's time for Sunday Stamps, and the theme is blue.

Here is a new stamp, to be issued by the US Postal Service on Aug. 14 of this year:

It will be issued then for the 2026 World Stamp Show in Boston.  I believe that is Paul Revere, riding along.  Note the older style of this stamp.

These two scans are from the USPS website.

Very pretty I think and it fits the theme for today.

Sunday Stamps: stories or folk tales

 Good day, and welcome to my stamps blog.

The theme today for Sunday Stamps is stories or folk tales.  I have a stamp I shared a long time ago, from Russia:

At the time, in 2012, I did not know anything about this stamp.  Now I know this is part of a set of stamps issued by Russia, and shows Ailyp and Golden Hair.  She is not Rapunzel, and the story is quite different!

Sunday Stamps: Summer

 Good day, and welcome to my blog.  It is a warm humid morning in the American Midwest, and it's time for Sunday Stamps.

The theme this week is Summer.  I have a stamp I have shared before, one of a set of 4 celebrating the state or county fairs of the USA:

This scan is from the US Postal Service.  A Ferris Wheel is shown in the background.

My children, when little, used to love going to the local fairs.

Sunday Stamps: of the Sea

 Good day, and welcome to a warm morning in the American Midwest.  We are under the heat dome.  It's 8:30 AM and already 80 degrees F (26.7 C).

It's time for Sunday Stamps, and the theme is of the sea.  The US Postal Service has two sets of stamps that fit the theme.

1. Save sea turtles

And 2.  Save the Manatee.

All these images are from the USPS website.
