Sunday Stamps: The Sky

 Good Day, and welcome to my blog.  It's a cool cloudy day with some rain, in the American Midwest.  I hope no one was affected by hurricane Helene.  We got some high winds and heavy rain, some tree branches down.  But nothing like the Southeast USA.

It's time for Sunday Stamps, and the theme today is the sky.  Skies are not often featured on stamps.  You must look for a beautiful sky as part of a landscape, for example:

As in this painting of the Columbia River Gorge.  This 2016 stamp is a very high value stamp, US $22.95, so for big packages.  (I have shared this stamp before.)  I don't think the USPS issues such high value stamps anymore.  But look at that sky!

Have a good week, everybody.

Sunday Stamps: Yellow

 Good day, and welcome to my blog.  It is a cool sunny morning in the American Midwest.  Gosh we need some rain!

The theme this week is Yellow on Stamps, and I have a stamp I have shared before:

This is the California dogface butterfly, and this stamp was intended for large or odd shaped letters that can't go through the sorting machines.  I am not sure I see a dog's face!

Have a good week, everybody.

Sunday Stamps: Aerial views

 Good day, and welcome to my blog.  It is a cool (45 deg F!) and sunny morning in the American Midwest, and time for Sunday Stamps.

The theme today is aerial views.  Inspired by Joy's contributions from France, I found this stamp, shared on my blog previously:

A joint issue with China, a view of Paris.  I received this stamp via a Postcrossing postcard in 2014.

Have a good week, friends!

Sunday Stamps: Food

 Good day, and welcome to my blog.  It is a beautiful September day in the American Midwest, not a cloud in the sky.

It's time for Sunday Stamps, and the theme this week is food.  I have a stamp of grapes, not exactly grapes for eating.

According to the US Postal service, these are Pinot grapes, more likely to be made into wine.

This is a stamp to make up postage - therefore the 5 cents printed on it.  You would never see it alone on an envelope, as in the second image.  Even postcard postage is much more than that!

Have a good week, everybody.
