Sunday Stamps: Vacation destinations

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

This week's theme is vacation destinations.  For me, I immediately thought of going to the beach.  And wouldn't you know the USPS issued stamps in April of this year that fit this theme:


And the whole set:


These images are from the USPS.  Here is the link to the webpage.

No beach vacation for us this year - maybe next year.

Sunday Stamps: Geology

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

The theme this week is geology, and for me, I'll narrow this down to mineralogy, the study of minerals.


Here are some garnets from Switzerland.  And the whole set:


I love minerals!

Sunday Stamps: Rivers

 Good day and welcome to my blog.  It's a muggy morning in the American Midwest.

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

Here is an image from the US Postal Service of a river along the Appalachian Trail.  This is part of a group of stamps that I have shared before, when the theme was waterfalls.

Have you ever hiked along a portion of the Appalachian Trail?  I grew up near the trail in Massachusetts but no, never hiked it.

Sunday Stamps: Mountains

 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 is mountains.

Having nothing in hand, I used Google to find an appropriate stamp, probably from an on-line seller:


A brown bear and a gorgeous mountain behind.  Large mammals need lots of territory to roam, and as the valleys get developed, the mountain habitats are like 'islands' surrounded by development.  And there are more chances of bear - human interactions, which rarely go well.
