Today's Sunday Stamps prompt is Trees and Leaves.
I chose this 5c stamp from Germany, which arrived by way of postcrossing.
The water lily stamp has leaves (lily pads), and then there's the petals on the flower. Petals are modified leaves, and the petals on the stamp are made of paper, which is (mostly) made from trees. A complicated route to today's theme! I love this new (since 2022) definitive set from Germany featuring all things related to letter writing turned into all sorts of landscape features.
To see more stamps with leaves and trees as themes, head over to See it on a Postcard.

I have a bonus eclipse stamp to add to last week's post!
Violet S very kindly sent me the amazing Canadian eclipse stamp which arrived yesterday - I love it, thank you so much!
You can see here that there are is also a hidden effect on the stamp.
Sent on the back of sun over Niagara Falls - this matches our weekend which is very sunny.
