Greetings friends!
Every day, when I publish a post about another postage stamp, I try to show that small financial documents proving payment, or making it possible to send mail correspondence, are a powerful source of information and they know how to talk to us, in that case, if we want to hear their story.
What can a postage stamp with the Green Sea Turtle (Chelonia mydas) century BC depicted on it tell about, from a series of postage stamps Turtles issued on the island of Cuba in the distant 1983 year?
For example, she will show us the appearance of a turtle, tell us that such a turtle can be found off the coastline of Cuba, and give us a reason to think about vegetarianism, lol.
Yes, you heard right about vegetarianism!
I respect people's food preferences, and my words are not intended to condemn those who refused food of animal origin, no.
This is an opportunity to look at vegetarianism from the perspective of nature.
Turtles are one of the most long-lived creatures on our planet.
Green Sea Turtle (Chelonia mydas) is no exception, and it spends most of its life in the open ocean, hunting fish and shellfish.
In fact, she is an active predator.
But, when old age comes, the Green Sea Turtle leaves the depths of the sea and moves to shallow water, closer to the coast, where it switches to plant food.
For these strong creatures, vegetarianism is a compulsory measure to maintain life, but not something they could dream of.
We can say that vegetarianism in the animal kingdom, the transition to it, is a sign of old age, retirement age.
Let's take a look at this postage stamp.

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.
