Happy Chinese New Year

14 Feb 2010 183
Happy Chinese New Year to all the Chinese people living in various countries around the world as well as their own country. I almost missed out on the new Chinese New Year stamp for this year - someone posted an image a few days ago, but used an old stamp from a few years ago! When I saw it, I thought it looked too similar and so didn't bother to go and buy any. Hope no one else missed out for this reason. Fortunately, I had to call in at the Post Office yesterday to pick up a text book (that had used one of my images for the cover, yay!) and I happened to notice a picture of the 2010 New Year's stamp. When I saw that it was like this, I grabbed a few (I buy a few every year). The central design is raised in gold and is quite attractive. I always reckon the Chinese New Year stamps are some of our nicest stamps.

Happy Valentine's Day

Angel Wing Begonia - I love the name of this plant that was growing at the Calgary Zoo, November 2007, in the old Conservatory. Thought today was an appropriate day to post these small, pink hearts. Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!
