American Wigeon by John Mogus
Fred's Anecdotal Note
1993 FLORIDA
At some point I wanted to use a silhouette in one of my hand-painted MILFORDS and I decided that this would be the one. A pair of American widgeons swim in a sheltered bay on Florida's West Coast. Beyond a narrow point of land, the cloud shrouded sun descends toward the Gulf of Mexico horizon. The magnificent sky colors are reflected in the tranquil waters and the sun itself sends a ribboned shaft of light to the swimming ducks casting them in picturesque shadowed outlines.
The passion flower stamp meets postal requirements. Serial numbers used were 2918-01 thru -10 to 2941-01 thru -09, except for 2932-03. A net of only 238 MILFORDS produced for this issue.
