My dear friend Karli from Canada sent me an envelope full of surprises. She sent me two wonderful postcards from
Saskatchewan along with some of the most beautiful stamps I've ever received!
The first card shows some views of
Prince Albert, a city in the center of Saskatchewan. You can see from top left: the residence of former Prime Minister
John G. Diefenbaker;
North Saskatchewan River overlooking downtown; the night skyline and
Grey Owl Mural. The second card shows
The Berry Barn in Saskatoon. Karli told me it's a must see for everyone who comes around Saskatoon. The card also gives some information on its back:
"
The Berry Barn eatery and gift shop is one of Saskatoon's most popular tourist attractions, minutes from Saskatoon, and is flanked by 28-acre Saskatoon berry orchard. Enjoy homestyle cooking and scrumptious Saskatoon berry pie in our country style eatery, with breathtaking views of the South Saskatchewan River. The gift shop is filled with unique gifts and souvenirs including a full line of Saskatoon berry products. Located at 830 Valley Road Saskatoon, Saskatchewan."
Karli also put some amazing stamps on the envelope - have a look! A very special one it the
Haunted Canada Stamp, it was issued to represent some of the local canadian ghost stories - this one shows the
St. Louis Ghost Train. I tried to capture the fluorescence of the stamp in three different photos.
Many thanks Karli - you really made my day! :)

| You probably all know that there are plenty of german standard flower stamps that are used as a supplementary value along with other stamps - well I think they're lacking in variety... but this canadian flower stamp is so beautiful! How does Canada manage issuing only the most beautiful stamps? |

| Isn't this fluorescing stamp gorgeous!? |
