Travel the World of Postage Stamps - Cactus - Melocactus guitarti - Cuba 1978 - Michel Cuba 2294 - my hobby
Greetings friends!
*I decided to return to the island of Cuba, where the hot sun shines and the smell of the Caribbean Sea is felt.
*No matter how far I live from the island of Cuba, my hobbies can overlap with those of the Cubans, for example, I think there are many collectors of postage stamps there.
*Philately, as a hobby, can tell us about other hobbies, for example, like today, about collecting indoor plants, these will be a variety of cacti.
*Before you start writing your publication I decided to check my apartment for any cacti lol.
*Yes, cacti are not mice, but they may be hiding somewhere.
*Collecting cacti is not one of my hobbies, but my mother-in-law may well be hiding a thorny plant somewhere, and I was not mistaken, I found a cactus on the windowsill.
*It's evening, late evening, but I tried to take some pictures of this monster.
*Its base looks a little sad, but, the upper part is blooming and healthy, you will need to do it at your leisure.
*As a hobby, cacti are similar to cryptocurrency miners, because they grow themselves good ones, which you can exchange with hobbyists, or sell.
*Probably, this is one of the most ordinary-looking cacti on our planet, therefore, I propose to complete a series of Cactus postage stamps, issued on the island of Cuba in 1978.
*On the first postage stamp, one Cuban centavo denomination, we see a blooming cactus - Melocactus guitarti.
*It is clearly different from the cactus on my windowsill, perhaps someday I will take up the issue of growing cacti and this will happen thanks to a series of postage stamps.
**Let's take a look at this postage stamp.

I edited a photo in the program PhotoDirector, which I also installed on my smartphone. For my publications, I do not use stock photographs, it is fundamentally important for me to use photographs that I have made with my own hands for publication and I can name them - authorial work.
