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.

Sunday Stamps: the Letters "X, Y & Z"

 Good day, and welcome to my blog.

It's a muggy summer morning in the American Midwest, and time for Sunday Stamps.

The letters at the end of the alphabet can be hard to find stamps for.  I can do no better than repeat the Y stamp I shared last time we went through the alphabet - a yellow flower:

This is from Taiwan. A cheerful stamp!

Sunday Stamps: the Letter "W"

 Good day, and welcome to my blog.  It is a cooler morning in the American Midwest - perhaps the heat dome has left us.

It's time for Sunday Stamps.  We are up to the letter W.

I have a stamp from the US Postal Service, honoring Phillis Wheatley, an early enslaved African poet.

Captured in West Africa as a child, she was taken to Boston and sold to the Wheatley family.  They educated her.  They encouraged her writing.  A book of her poems was published in London England in 1773 and brought her some fame.  The Wheatleys emancipated her soon after publication of her book.

More at her Wikipedia entry.

Sunday Stamps: the Letter "V"

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

In our tour of the alphabet we are up to the letter "V".  I have a Russian stamp I have shared before:

An active volcano in the far east of Russia.  I think this came to me in my Postcrossing days.
