I received one more cover dedicated to Leap year, but this time from USA. A leap year is a calendar year that contains an additional day added to
keep the calendar year synchronized with the astronomical year or
seasonal year. Because astronomical events and seasons do not repeat in a
whole number of days, calendars that have the same number of days in
each year drift over time with respect to the event that the year is
supposed to track. By inserting an additional day or month into the
year, the drift can be corrected.On this cover from Miami you can see stamps dedicated to Year of the Rat and in the middle definitive stamp with American eagle.
Inside cover was this FDC dedicated to wild orchids. There are more than 30,000 species of wild orchids in the world. And these two stamps are from set of ten stamps which shows orchid species from USA.
Thank you, Mike!
