The Weather on Stamps

Sunny




Today's theme in Sunday Stamps-II is Weather. I have had a look at the stamps I have got. Among those that feature pictures, I have realised that most of them show sunny scenes. Maybe because the postal authorities tend to convey good news...

Cloudy



Misty



Windy



Snowy



Stormy



Humid
