Trees for Sunday Stamps

 Eva sent me a very green tree-related envelope a while back. The stamps show olive trees (the four se-tenant stamps), the botanical sciences, and a famous Holm oak (Quercus ilex) found in the municipality of Zarza de Montánchez in Spain. The Terrona Holm oak is thought to be 800 years old. Even the crowns in the background of the definitive stamp are green.

  1. Nice to meet these again. I really love the design of the olive tree stamp, especially with the four stamps together.

  3. I would have to give that 800 year old oak a big hug if I came across it. The one with the leaf detail is lovely.

    Amazing trees, what would they have seen and heard in all those centuries of life?!
