Snow

 

2001: Aurora Borealis (Design - Bjarne Reisto)

Snow laden trees stand sentinel under swirling skies

2008: Christmas (Design: Jenny Burman)

Snowy winter fun sledging down hill. Making a snow lantern, ooh I thought what is that?  So for anyone like me wondering, here are two cute kids making one here

2004: Winter Birds (Design - T Niemi)

The birds, like us, are glad that winter is retreating. but on the stamps it is still winter - Great Tit and Yellowhammer. Then we have the Pine Grosbeak, common in Scandinavia but if one of these is spotted in the UK it would lead to a twitching frenzy the last one to make the watery crossing showed up in the Shetland Islands a few years ago. Striking birds, as indeed is the Bullfinch

Sunday Stamps theme this week is - Winter Snow - See It On A Postcard

Lovely stamps - the Swedish 2008 Christmas set is amazing, and of course the northern lights are amazing.

I like the set from 2008, esp. the snow flake design in the background.

Love the idea of a snow lantern! And the birds a so striking - especially the pink of the grosbeak.

I was expecting to see an aurora borealis today.

We never have snow enough to make a snow lantern, but I've enjoyed the link. So fun! :D
