J is for JUVENIA

 JUVENIA 2023 was the National Exhibition of Youth Philately held in conjunction with the National Philatelic Exhibition (EXFILNA) in Teruel. Correos issued this fun stamp in celebration of the event. It features a dinosaur, Aragosaurus Ischiaticus, known as the Reptile of Aragon, reflecting the important findings of some of the oldest dinosaur fossils on the Iberian peninsula there. Thanks to Eva for sending it!

I is for instituto, and innovación

 It's the letter I in the latest journey through the alphabet. This stamp issued by Correos in 2025 celebrates science, technology and innovation with the 40 year anniversary of the Institute of Astrophysics in the Canary Islands.

I just noticed that the stamp has perforations - does that mean the top part could be sent on its own? (I'm glad Eva sent me the whole thing!)

This is a large stamp and has some nice foil effects that are hard to appreciate in photos.

H is for Hortensia

 Hortensia is the Spanish (and French) word for hydrangea, as seen on this lovely stamp from 2009, sent by Eva.  H is also for Happy Spring in the northern hemisphere, with the equinox being yesterday.

Hydrangeas are a favorite of mine, although my yard does not have the best conditions for growing, so I only have 2 small bushes.

Do you like hydrangeas? Apparently pop star Madonna despises them, so if they're not your favorite you have famous company :)
