Sunday Stamps: the letter "I"

 Good day and welcome to my blog.  It's a bit chilly in the American Midwest for the end of March.

It's time for Sunday Stamps, and the letter this week is "I".

I have some older stamps from the USA showing various Industrial processes:

This series of stamps was called Building a Nation.  I have shared these before, and in my old blog post I wrote:

This is a group of four stamps from a larger set.  Most of the photographs were taken by Lewis Hine, a famous photographer.  According to Wikipedia, "Lewis Wickes Hine (September 26, 1874 – November 3, 1940) was an American sociologist and photographer. Hine used his camera as a tool for social reform. His photographs were instrumental in changing the child labor laws in the United States."

Sunday Stamps: the Letter "H"

 Good day, and welcome to my blog.  It's a warm morning in the American Midwest, and it's going to get warmer today, and possibly have some thunderstorms.

It's time for Sunday Stamps, and we are up to the letter "H".

Our hostess has shared a horse stamp, and so will I.  This is a USA stamp for the year of the Horse on the Chinese zodiac.

I also have a Hedgehog stamp that I have shared before.

Sunday Stamps: the Letter "F"

 Hello and welcome to my blog.  

Past warm days have led to some of my bulbs sprouting.  It is cooler today, but there are warmer days ahead.

It's time for Sunday Stamps, and we are up to the letter F.  I have a stamp from the US Postal Service, issued last year:

This is a Forever stamp, worth the current first-class postage - NOT 5 cents.  It is a modern interpretation of an 1875 stamp of Benjamin Franklin - a Founding Father though not a US President.

More information on this stamp is on the USPS web page.  The image above is from their webpage.
