tall trees

 

Redwoods, or Sequoias, are the tallest trees in the world and can live for thousands of years.  This particular view makes me dizzy just looking at it.

Y

I spent so much time looking for Q and X, that I forgot how challenging Y might be...

though Germany has a Y, there isn't a Y in  this Deutschland stamp 

maybe "youngsters"?  Bibi & Tina are fictional teenagers who apparently have exciting adventures  with their beloved horses (one is a witch with magical powers)

And Ukraine has a letter that looks like a Y 

though it is pronounced more like "oo"

snow

I was going to use this for 'sunshine', but the snowy scene was too perfect

he is cutting a good figure in the snow

xhosa

 

This stamp shows a Xhosa woman and traditional beadwork.  It could also be considered x-rated - at least in Canada and USA?!

water

Sometimes it is enough just to get a bird's eye view of the water

other times, you want to be right in it

or maybe you'd like to live surrounded by water

wolf moon

 the first full moon of 2026, and the first supermoon

sunshine

a new year is dawning 

time to get up and start fresh for 2026

we have a bright sunny day

winter needs the sun to shine (and the snow to be fresh and white) to make it less depressing

rays of sunllight adding to the view
