Congratulations Bob ... love the name for 'your' mushroom 'The Old Man of the Woods.' Hope the weather has picked up and you're having a wonderfully happy family day ... here's to many more - cheers Hilary
Happy belated birthday, Bob!
And thank you for sharing these stamps, as a nature lover I love them all!
I like the two aspects of mushrooms on the stamp. Happy birthday to you for yesterday.
The design of the first stamp is striking, I love it.
Congratulations, even a day later!
Belated wishes for your birthday, Bob!
Latin is always a useful alternate language.
