Sunday Stamps #25

In which the theme is summer, especially butterflies. Oh you must have butterfly stamps, somewhere!

These are from Turkey, and I am glad to have 4 different designs. Note each has the species name, and a design in the background.   I can't decide which I like best.

Next week: Sunday Stamps is taking a one-week break, as I am on vacation, and I do want to get away from my computer.  This meme will return July 10.  As July seems to be the month for national holidays, let's share some patriotic stamps on the 10th.

PFF: June 24

This beach is in New Zealand but boy, how I would love to be there today!  A postcard from a Kiwi Postcrosser.

Happy Summer!  I am joining Beth at Postcard Friendship Friday.

Sunday Stamps #24

Today's theme is anything you wish, or perhaps more se-tenant stamps that you would like to share.

Part of a larger sheet that includes many animals and insects. I like the illustrations in this set.  I can tell from the denomination that this is from my short-lived period of serious stamp collecting.  And USA first class postage rates have doubled exactly since that time.

Share some stamps, and visit other participants!

Theme next week: Summer is here, so share stamps of summer, especially butterflies - one of my favorite subjects.

Postcard Friendship Friday June 17

My last chrome postcard of this set, from a thrift store.
From the back:
Aerial view citrus tower, located on US Highway 27 at Clermont, Florida.  Elevator to the observation deck, 542 feet above sea level, where visitors may view numerous beautiful lakes and hills and thousands of acres of citrus groves."

Also this information: "New color card technique, R.A. Lasater, Apopka, Fla."

Has this Florida landmark disappeared like the Tiki Gardens at Indian Rocks Beach?
No!  It is still there, but I think the landscape has changed:

"The Citrus Tower stands unrivaled as a majestic and monumental tribute to Central Florida’s famed citrus industry and its lush subtropical groves. With the area’s changing economic climate, the Tower serves as a beacon guiding a burgeoning new business and population base to the scenic South Lake County region."
