And to finalize this months incoming mail showcase, here are two recent covers from Canada. The first one had a christmas greeting from Tristan with 2009 Canadian international christmas stamp on top of cover. Unfortunately all the cancels were put on the back of envelope… This is also a good time to remind everyone to post their christmas greetings in time. It’s only one month till christmas eve.

The second cover is from Kevin with whom I exchanged some stamps. It features a nice flow of recent Canadian stamps.

On the right are two bird stamps (from a set of four) issued in 2005 to commemorate wildlife artist and conservationist, John James Audubon.

Next to it is one of four stamps issued in 2006 to commemorate Canadian cheese- and winemaking. This is yet another great example of odd-shaped (but nice) stamps that Canadian Post makes year after year.

Moving on, 51c Newfoundland Marten stamp is part of the Endangered species stamp set issued in 2006.

And finally there’s 1997 stamp to commemorate the Chinese new year.
