The color blue

Today's theme for Sunday Stamps is the color blue. I have selected stamps sent by Scott, Heleen, Eduard and William.

First up, a Large Blue Butterfly on this British stamp from 2018 that is from a set titled Reintroduced Species.

Next is a (mostly) blue international stamp from the Netherlands from a series of Dutch Icons


Here is a definitive stamp from the 3rd series of the Russian Federation. This stamp is representative of industry.


And finally, from Taiwan, one from a set on blue and white pottery.

    1. I hadn't looked at the others before writing this post. I really like how each piece has a different design in the upper right corner in addition to the pottery.

  3. I love that the butterfly has such a simple descriptive name! and yes, I am also missing my spring nature walks :(

    1. With all the plants and trees blooming and budding, it constantly reminds me that nature has no regard for COVID-19.

  5. Pretty pottery. I have never seen a large blue butterfly but the good weather has certainly brought the butterflies out, I saw five different types yesterday, none rare but all lifted the heart.

    1. I think the large blue is a European species.

      That's great that you saw so many - I don't think I've seen any so far this year.
