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

  1. 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!

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

  4. 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:
