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.

Sunday Stamps: Aircraft

Good day and welcome to my blog.  It's a cloudy morning in the American Midwest, after a night of rain and thunder and a tornado watch.

It's time for Sunday Stamps, and the theme is aviation or aircraft.

Having no stamps in hand, and older stamps on my blog have been shared three times already, I searched the web and found this sheet on the page of an etsy seller:

Face value is 32 cents and they are from 1996.  The Wright Brothers craft is there, as is my dad's favorite, the Lightning.  You may have to click on the image and expand it to see the details.

Sunday Stamps: Children's stories

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

The theme this week is children's stories, such as Peter Rabbit by Beatrix Potter.  I have no stamps for this so I am going to bend the theme a bit and post some stamps of children's toys.  Think of children making up their own stories.

Barbie, a toy from the USA and an icon of sorts.  This image is from the US Postal Service.  In my youth (a long time ago) Barbie was about fashion but now she has many different careers, including as an astronaut.

Sunday Stamps: Lighthouses

 Good day and welcome to my blog.  It's a warm summer morning in the American Midwest, and the air is "unhealthy for sensitive groups".  This is better than 2 days ago, when it was "hazardous".

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

There is a new set of stamps from the US Postal service, issued June 9 of this year, called American Icons.

One of those stamps is a lighthouse.

This image is not from the USPS but from a stamp dealer on-line.  It does not say which lighthouse this is, but I suspect it is one of those along the Atlantic seaboard.
