US Stamps 2024 Autumn Colors 5 Sheets of 20 Celebrates the beautiful foliage that makes autumn in the United States special Why the stamp was issued: To commemorate the beauty of autumn in the United States. About the stamp design: Includes 10 different designs featuring photographs by nature and garden photographer Allen Rokach (1941-2021). Special design details: Rokach was known for using what he dubbed the Rokach effect, to give his photographs an impressionistic quality. This sometimes adds interesting and unusual colors to the landscape shown. First Day City: The First Day of Issue Ceremony was held at the Great American Stamp Show in Hartford, Connecticut. History the stamp represents: The temperate regions of the world (areas further from the equator) experience four distinct seasons. Of those four, autumn is the most colorful. The leaves of deciduous trees undergo a dramatic transformation, changing from green to shades of yellow, gold, orange, red, and more, depending on the species. Previously green forests become kaleidoscopes of colors that draw in visitors from near and far. Autumn colors have been inspiring artists, photographers, poets, and other creative minds for generations. IT takes a special knack to capture the spirit of the season in a work of art or literature, skills honed over many years of trial and error. To other leaf peepers, autumn colors are a spectacle to be enjoyed in the moment. This can be done by going on a hike, visiting a seasonal festival, or simply taking a stroll through your own backyard. In the United States, most of us associate autumn colors with New England and other northern regions of the country. However, the southern states undergo changes of their own that can be just as beautiful. For example, New Mexicos golden cottonwood trees provide a scenic view from a hot air balloon during the famous Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta. The balloons themselves also bring a rainbow of colors for visitors to enjoy in October. At the end of the day, there is no right or wrong way to take in the colors of autumn. Whether you go on an adventure to a new place or sit back and appreciate the beauty of home, youre sure to have a great time. The condition of the stamp is as shown in the image and is suitable for paying postage or collecting.
