vintage and contemporary postcards and stamps from around the world

green

We have had a snow storm this week and now everything is covered in white. I eagerly await spring and some fresh green leaves.


This low value stamp featuring a simple head shot of the Queen also has a tree in the top left corner. Each stamp of this series had a symbol representing some sector of the economy - in this case, forestry. Apparently, in 1960, 48% of Canada's land mass was covered in forest. It seems we are down to 38% by 2020.


For Sunday Stamps - the colour green

Our snow has gone but the garden now is green but we have no leaves on the trees yet, except for the conifers of course. I guess that is a maple leaf you have shown us.
You have to use your imagination to see the leaves on my trees here - http://bit.ly/3scA0TB

The snow is just a memory here. Our landscape is more blue than green.

My green creatures are here.

Too warm for snow here but the rain is keeping the grass green.
