The U.S. Postal Service recently introduced three new beautiful stamps featuring scenes from across America. One is a First Class Forever postage stamp for mailing letters. The other two are for Priority and Express mail.
The First Class stamp marks the celebration of Arizona's 100th birthday. Arizona became the 48th state in the U.S. in 1912, the last of the contiguous states to enter the union.
The stamp features artwork by Ed Mell, a native of Phoenix. Well known for his distinctive modernist renderings of the Southwest desert landscape, Mell applies this approach to his portrayal of Cathedral Rock, one of the colorful and much admired sandstone rock formations of Sedona, Arizona.
The U.S. Postal Service recognized another celebration — 25th anniversary of
Florida’s Sunshine Skyway Bridge — by issuing the $5.15 Sunshine Skyway Bridge Priority Mail stamp. The stamp, designed by Carl T. Hermann of North Las Vegas, NV,
showcases a digital illustration created by artist Dan Cosgrove of
Chicago, IL. The Sunshine Skyway Bridge Pre-Stamped Priority Mail

Priority Mail stamp is being issued singly, in blocks of four or 10 and in self-adhesive sheets of 20 at the

On the other side of the country, in California, the U.S.P.S. released a stamp honoring the Carmel Mission, founded in 1770 as Mission San Carlos Borroméo del Río Carmelo. The stamp is an Express Mail stamp, priced at $18.95 each. It is available as a single stamp, in a block of four or a sheet of 10.
