Today's theme in Sunday Stamps is the most difficult one: Your choice!
I have chosen two series I have received this year on postcards. My friends Bryon (the USA) and John (the UK) have been very thoughtful. And the postal services have collaborated in delivering all the postcards!
The first series is Wild Coasts, issued by Royal May on 22 July 2021. You can see here better pictures.

| Long-snouted Seahorse |

| Northern Gannet |
 |
| Orca / Fried-egg Anemone |
 |
| Bottlenose Dolphin / Spiny Spider Crab |

| Cuckoo Wrasse / Cold-water Coral Reef |
And the second set is older, but also sent and received along 2021. Endangered Species was issued on 2 February 1996 by USPS:

Love the vibrant colors in the British stamps!
ReplyDeleteBoth series are wonderful. Thanks again!
DeleteI am a cat person and that ocelot is adorable!
ReplyDeleteI think the colours are beautiful in both series.
I agree. It's difficult to choose only one of these.
DeleteI like the diversity on the US stamps, something for every wildlife enthusiast. I'm amusing myself by saying piping plover, great name.
ReplyDeleteAnd what about Fried-egg anemone? :)
DeleteFantastic selection/collection.
