Again, a new country for my collection - Slovenia - thanks you so much Janez, for a cover full of beautiful stamps. carrying postcard n.12 inside.
Memories,as we all know, can easily be triggered by artifacts. that's what happened to me when I inspected the postmark on this very nice cover. Bled, it read, and I was immediately taken back to the gorgeous afternoon my wife and I spent walking around and bathing in lake Bled, after enjoying the pleasure of a glass of cold white wine in the castle that overlooks it.
Hopefully we will all be able to get back to regular programation soon (I already have my 2 jabs) so that we can all go and get to know the world further away from your doorstep....
The beautiful 0,05€ and 0,10€ stamps are 2018 reprints (01JUN2017 and 28JUN2019, respectively) of similar stamps (but with differing perforation) issued in 2015.
The 5 cent stamp shows a Black stork, an elusive and generally endangered species, which can also be found in my own country and that I once had the pleasure of photographing from a river boat on the Tagus.
The 10 cent stamp shows another bird that can be seen in Portugal, a wader this time, the Kentish Plover (Charadrius alexandrinus).
Focus on environmental awareness is also the leit motiv for the 2 vertical stamps, part of a 5 (5, 10,20,35,50 cents) autoa-dhesive stamp definitive set, issued on 09NOV2018.
The little souvenir sheet with a 0,82€ stamp was issued on 25SEP2020 to commemorate the International Year of Plant Health, the adopted logo also being present on the sheet.
