Today's prompt is winter and snow, and I took a photo of a pair of stamps I sent together on a postcard heading overseas.
The left stamp is one of the four postcard rate stamps issued in 2021 titled Barns. Each barn in the set represents a different season.
The right stamp is the 3oz stamp featuring author Ursula Le Guin (1929-2018) issued in 2021 as part of the literary arts series. The background features a scene from her award-winning science fiction novel, The Left Hand of Darkness. The story is set on planet that is much colder than Earth called Gethen, also referred to as Winter.

Perfect choice!
ReplyDeleteThese stamps are very nice in person :)
My phone does not always take great pictures of the stamp details.
DeleteA nice choice for the Le Guin stamp. So few wintry scenes on stamps :(
ReplyDeleteI think I showed her stamp before, but it is a favorite.

ReplyDeleteThe seasonal barns postcard stamps are nice, although small.
Deletelike the idea of seasonal barns, do love a barn in all their variations. The Le Guin stamp is a classic.
