This series - Cicadas - was issued in Oz today.
I love that the postmark is ‘Crawley’ in Western Australia. Someone in Oz Post has a fun sense of humour!
Cicadas conjure up hot summertime for me. I love being in the bush, when their roar is simply deafening. It reminds me of my childhood.
FYI - I do not recommend camping under a tree full of cicadas…without a waterproof fly (at least) above you. I have very fond memories of having to move my sleeping bag mid-night…after being constantly wee’d on by what must have been MANY cicadas above me .
The stamps of Belarus to them are something amazing. colorful and detailed collections, “Stories and Myths”, “Belarusian Cuisine”, “Year of the Tiger”, “Birds of Belarus”, “Mushrooms”.
