Winter Fun 2014 Forever Stamps Available Today!

I have many fond memories of childhood winters in Pennsylvania. Ice skating down frozen creeks, inner tubing down icy hills and the oh so many wipe outs after launching over a ramp, that perhaps we were a little overzealous in building. I am thrilled that two of my images are part of the block of 4 in the United States Postal Service's Winter Fun 2014 series.

Snowing in Hawaii

First snow on Mauna Kea, really!

Empathy

It's hard to be the new kid on the block. Illustration for a story on empathy and how it can lead to new friendships.

Let it Snow

Many people don't realize that we get snow on the island of Hawaii. There are many gorgeous mornings as I surf where I can see the snow-capped peaks of Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa. In the evenings, the cool air blowing down the mountains gives us "chilly" evenings. Not quite parka weather, but just enough to differentiate winter from summer.
