flights

 

Birds are a favourite theme and I was thrilled to find this first day cover featuring a barn owl and a kestrel in flightThis makes me think of those flip books.  Photography is by S Dalton and the series dates to 2003.

Wishing you all a year of fanciful flights in 2025

I thought immediately of flip books, too! My favourite bird stamps are those where the birds are flying.

Today's theme is very difficult :)
You can see my stamp here.

I wish you all the best for the new year too, and a lot of shared Sunday Stamps!

The owls soundless flight is wonderful thing to see in slow motion.
I've travelled to a southern hemisphere Christmas here

Yes, a flip book look! We have Great Horned owls in my neighborhood (if owls stick to a neighborhood!). I don't see them, but I see their "leftovers" some mornings, the headless bodies of other birds, including large raptors.
I have four favorites:
