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 "Y"

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

We are up to the letter "Y" in the tour of the alphabet run by our host.  It can be a difficult letter to find stamps for.  Upon the suggestion of "yellow" from other contributors, I went to find a stamp featuring yellow, that I have shared before:

A lovely yellow flower from Taiwan.

The Latin name is given on the stamp (as well as the Taiwanese name), but I do not know the name in English.

Sunday Stamps; Lighthouses

 Good Day, and welcome to my stamp blog!

We had a few days of warm weather in the American Midwest, and some buds have opened.  But it's back to cool weather today.

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

I have a stamp from Taiwan, which I have shared before:

No water in sight, so perhaps this lighthouse is up on a cliff.  A stamp from my Postcrossing days.

Please visit SeeitonaPostcard and see who else is playing.

Sunday Stamps: Toys

 Good day, and welcome to my contribution to Sunday Stamps.  It is a cool winter day in the American Midwest.  Temperatures are predicted to be above 32 degrees F during the day for the the next 10 days or so, so no white Christmas for us.

Today's prompt is for toys, or entertainment.  I have some stamps from Taiwan that I have shared before:

Children with oversized lanterns?  I am not sure.  But it's what I have for this week.  I do have stamps for the rest of the month lined up!

Sunday Stamps # 183

It's the dog days of summer, and the world continues to have many problems, in the Middle East and elsewhere. August is not a slow news month this year.

Tonight though, and tomorrow, I will think about Sunday stamps, and our theme of undersea life.

These stamps are from Taiwan and show two brightly colored species of coral.  Next up:

A longnose filefish, which could be swimming around with you as you snorkel or scuba.

In these warm days (in the Northern Hemisphere) I do wish I could take the family to the beach.  It's not going to happen this year though, sadly.  So I will study these stamps.

Please join me with any stamp showing undersea life.

No Sunday stamps next week - vacation (getting children ready for school, actually.)

Theme two week's from today: anything you wish.

Sunday Stamps # 122

I am leaving for a business trip and so I am getting Sunday Stamps ready a couple of days ahead of time. I don't have much time to work here before getting to the airport,so let's just remind you that this week's theme is Children, toys and games, anything related to children.

These stamps recently arrived from Taiwan, on a Postcrossing postcard.

Have fun with this theme!

Theme next week: Stamps from Finland, another country well-known for interesting stamps.

Sunday Stamps # 76

This Sunday the theme is anything you wish. I am still on vacation and if all goes according to plan, I will be in the beautiful city of Montreal Canada - stuck in an all-day meeting. Oh well, there is time afterwards for drinks and dinner.

My stamp for today is this beautiful pink rose from the Republic of China, also known as Taiwan, and for people of a certain generation, also known as Formosa.

I don't know if you can tell, but this stamp is embossed - partially raised up in areas.  Interesting!
Please join me this week with a stamp - it's easy, any stamp will do.

Theme next week: scenic natural areas.
