Two Canadian stamps on the same postcard for this week's Sunday Stamps theme: blue.
The Bluenose stamp celebrates 100 years since this famous yacht was built in Nova Scotia in 1921 as both a fishing and racing vessel. For more on this interesting vessel here is a link to its Wikipedia page. There is also an image of a previous Canadian stamp (coincidentally all blue) featuring the Bluenose.
Apologies for the blurriness of the stamp on the left, it is the 2018 Canada Post Community Foundation semipostal stamp. A clearer image:
Not stamp related, however going back through photos for today's stamps I found this blue image - jellyfish at Newport Aquarium in Kentucky.

The pictures in the clouds stamp is adorable.
ReplyDeleteI think we're all kids when we find shapes in the clouds
DeleteCute cloud stamp. I am not familiar with the Bluenose ship. Bluenose around here means a bluenosed pit bull! Jelllyfish were one of my favorite things to see at the Monterey Bay Aquarium.
ReplyDeleteThe jellyfish were mesmerizing
DeleteThe Bluenose is always a favourite. If you ever come to Canada, you'll find it on our dime :)
DeleteI must not be very observant, as I've visited several times and haven't noticed that. I'll pay more attendion in future!
DeleteThe blue sky stamp is so …. happy!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's perfect
DeleteThe jellyfish would do a nice blue stamp, too!
ReplyDeleteYou'll be the first to know if one of my photos ends up on a stamp 🙂
DeleteAlways love a sailing ship, the original Bluenose stamp is a beauty. Nice stamp pairings from your sender.
ReplyDeleteThey sent the perfect pair for Sunday Stamps
