The 'Waterfall Forever' collection was unveiled during a ceremony held at Yellowstone National Park, a fitting debut for the nature-inspired imagery. Each stamp design in the Waterfall Forever collection features a photograph of a waterfall, its name, and the state where it is located. The stamps were designed by [USPS](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/usps-stamp) art director Greg Breeding using existing photographs. Michael J. Elston, the Secretary of the Board of Governors for the U.S. Postal Service, excitedly notes that the nature-inspired stamp designs "will bring the beauty of these waterfalls to millions of people who will see them on the cards and letters they receive in their mailboxes."
