Alphabet 2023 | A Is for Atka


As the first letter-postcard I got was C, I did not grasp immediately Bryon's project: sending the whole alphabet during 2023. That would make a lot of postcards!

This was supposed to be the first. Mailed from Atka (Alaska), it got an extra postmark from Alaskan frontier. 


One of the stamps belongs to the 1982 State Birds & Flowers issue and depicts the state bird of Alaska, Willow ptarmigan (Lagopus lagopus) and the official flower of Alaska, forget-me-not (Myosotis alpestris). The other two stamps depicts a porcupinefish and Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary.
