Sunday Stamps: Western Hemisphere

 Good day and welcome to my blog.

I was at a professional conference last week, and could not blog.  But I am back again, on a warm day in the American Midwest.

The theme this week is stamps from the Western Hemisphere.  North and South - that is set by the equator.  East and West - that is set by the prime meridian of longitude, and that was set by Great Britain back in the day.

Anyhow.  I have a stamp from a postcard sent by traveling friends, and it continues the Caribbean theme:


A nice harbor scene from the Cayman Islands.  Probably hot there today!  And I believe they were affected by the last big hurricane.

Sunday Stamps: eastern hemisphere

 Good day and welcome.  I am on vacation with family but making time for Sunday Stamps.

The theme is stamps from countries in the Eastern hemisphere.  In looking back at former blog entries, I found some stamps from a Postcrossing postcard from the People's Republic of China, perfect for today:


2 Chinese stamps issued for the London Olympics.  I can tell from the "tectonics plates" logo on the left hand stamp, and the strange one eyed creature on the right hand stamp.  And it's postmarked 2014.

Sunday stamps: Northern Hemisphere

 Good Day, and welcome to my stamp blog.  It is a nice sunny day in the American Midwest, blue skies and fluffy white clouds.

It's time for Sunday Stamps.  We are going to take a trip around the world, starting with the northern hemisphere.  I have few stamps from France, host of the Olympics, starting soon.  But I do have this, shared once before:


Stamps from Spain, showing national parks and flora and fauna.

Sunday Stamps: Flags

 Good Day and welcome.  It is a lovely sunny morning in the American Midwest, and time for Sunday Stamps.

The theme today is national holidays, and flags.  I have a USA stamp I shared in 2016:


And I see the date in the corner is 2014.  Appropriate for this week, as it has the USA flag, and fireworks, and it's almost Independence Day (for the USA).  People in my neighborhood are already shooting off some fireworks.  This makes it hard to relax and get to sleep.  We have a family cookout planned for Thursday.
