Sunday Stamps - Winter: Great Britain, Canada

 We moved into our present home in 1991. At that time we could stand at the windows at the back of our house and see the North Yorkshire Moors in the distance. This view has now been lost due to new houses blocking the way.

In 1992 the first series of the Four Seasons - Wintertime was issued and included this ...

Hare on the North York Moors
Great Britain - 14 January 1992

It is difficult to match winter and the snowy conditions in the Canadian World Heritage Site, The Dinosaur Provincial Park and there's not a dinosaur to be seen as a competitor of our Yorkshire hare.

Canada - 21 August 2015

However you may see competing Canadian animals and another of the GB Wintertime series at Snow on Sunday Stamps

Nice winter stamps. It's a pity you don't enjoy the view any more from home.

Ah, that is the one 'Wintertime' I don't have. What long ears that hare has!
It is startling to see the loss of snow cover year after year. Just as it is to see the loss of views like yours.

Hi Bob - I always love the hare pictures ... while I never got to the dinosaur park - but did write about it.

I hope you and the family have a happy festive time - quiet seems better at the moment. All things being equal I'm off to my brother's nearby ... take care and cheers Hilary
