On January 11th, 2010, Canada Post began issuing a new permanent rate stamp featuring a photograph of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. This stamp features the Queen in a classic pose-waving her hand to the crowd. The beautiful photograph was taken during her most recent visit to Canada, and also features a close-up of a blue sedum flower in the backdrop.
