Stamps - Tracing American History [Contest Finalists October 2006]

Happy Birthday Vicky D (Utah stamp) and Bill W (waterfall at Yosemite).
These are from my collection back when I was in high school. They've been collecting dust, like my Babe Ruth baseball cards. LOL. I've got a ton of US stamps, some dating back to the 1880s. These are mostly from the 30s, 40s, and 50s.
F4, 1/60 sec, ISO 400, 70mm focal length.
