Delphins in the Netherlands are grey, like today's weather. And sometimes they are blue, like sometime's clear weather. But in the minds of (mail) artists and smaller children, and out of their hands into paper or canvas, dolphins can get any colour you wish. Same as unicorns. And dragons. And aquarius.

(Concerning the latter two, yes, a deadline set in the first week of February is okay, Dean, even though it is a little after that certain personal day)(such a big relief for me to read that I am not the only one who struggles, creating delayed mail)

Thank you for blogging, and happy to see you are happy to have received it well.
Even without a postmark by Dutch PostNL!
If you ever get to NL you should take this cover with you, so that you can send Mrs. Artist in Seine mail for almost free. Just add 3 cents more postage (I can send you those 'bijplakzegels' then), as the rates have increased. (international mail was € 1.25 (= 39 + 73 + 10 + 3), and since this year is € 1.33 (= 39 + 78 + 10 + 3 + ....exactly, one more 3 cent stamps)

Silly, in Holland the dolphins are ORANGE!

(but the rooster is RED for 2017 :-)

Nope, they are bananas, that's for sure.  Besides, yellow dolphins don't exist.  Then again they might in Holland.

Nice Banana Year 2017...and Red rooster, too :-)

Hmmm, those bananas could be yellow dolphins?
