This and That: A Blog

 B ird Women (my name for it) is a ink on paper I rescued from the Goodwill Outlet bins.  The photo turned out rather pixel-y, it's really clear and crisp. Read the related B poetry form here . 

  Sunday Stamps this week is B , and I've picked Animals for a sub-theme. I'm finding it hard to narrow down my animals! Three B irds... B ooby, the Red-Footed variety Montserrat 1970  B ustard, not just any b ustard, it's the Great B ustard, one of the heaviest flying b irds in the world! Russia 2024 B ird of Paradise Papua New Guinea 1957 ... and a B rown  B ear, a semi-postal with surcharge to raise funds for the Moscow Zoo.  Future letters will feature other animals in the series. Soviet Union 1988 C will be next week. 

The A to Z theme was so fun the host of Sunday Stamps  decided to do it again!  So this week is A stamps.  I've decided to make it harder on myself by using animals.  We'll see how that goes! A ardvark  Kenya 1966-1969 A merican Bison Hungary c. 1961 Budapest Zoo Animals series FYI, bison are not buffalo! Next week will be B stamps.
