Bahamas Beach

I will be away for the weekend but I do know the theme for the next Sunday Stamps, which is sea creatures. Yes I am quite early, but I have skipped one sunday and this topic is a good inspiration for a bit of blogging.

Lovely beach view from the Bahamas sent by Niki, who used great stamps, thanks! Among them two sea creatures - Spirobranchus giganteus, commonly known as Christmas tree worms,  tube-building polychaet worms; and Lobatus gigas, commonly known as the queen conch, a species of large edible sea snail.

Map Of The Bahamas

 

A new country for me, received last autumn - The Bahamas is an island country in the Atlantic Ocean north of Cuba, consisting of more than 3000 islands. The Bahamas were the site of Columbus' first landfall in the New World in 1492; they were orriginally inhabited by the Lucayans, but became a British Crown colony in 1718. The country became an independent Commonwealth realm in 1973, retaining Queen Elizabeth II as monarch.

Many thanks to dear Niki - and for the great stamp, loving it! ;)
