I received a private flickr mail to say I had made a mistake and Friday is always Flickr Happy Fence Friday or some such rubbish. Now I might have a bit of a reputation for thinking differently to the mainstream, apparently different to anyone else in the whole world, but I've always thought it was Fungus Friday. Sure that I wasn't wrong I entered " Happy Fungus Friday", I entered those three words in Flickr Search. Well, I felt vindicated to see there are one thousand, five hundred and twelve postings under those tags. So I'm not alone. Today is also called Happy Fungus Friday whether some people like it or not.
Having my faith in myself suitably restored I decided to see how many also people believe that snails hop. Again entering "snail hop" into flickr search I found 446 postings. Indeed, this is also significant proof, and no mere coincidence, that indeed snails do hop. Make sure you go out in the garden to see this magnificent sight.

In the UK, you know you’re deep in the countryside when you come across a Royal Mail post box nestling in a dry stone wall like this.
This box is from the reign of King George V (1910-36) and I spotted it, with much pleasure, in the hamlet of Treen, not far from St Ives in Cornwall.
Lovely, isn't it? And by the way, for Royal Mail aficionados the post box number is TR26 40.

scusate se non ho più caricato nulla... ma sappiate che continuo a far foto, non smetterò mai, ho solo molto meno tempo libero di prima..
325012, heads south at Cathiron, running Warrington Royal Mail(Dbs) to Willesden Prdc.
To me, these mail workings are always something special to see, and I'm also pleased that parcels and letters still move by rail.

The British Rail class 325, built by ABB at Derby Litchurch Lane Works, solely to carry for Royal Mail, a total of 16 sets were built.
Passing through Crewe, headed by 325016 with 325007 at the rear, each set is made up of 4 unconnected unmanned carriages DTVA-PMV-TAV-DTVB, each with 4 roller shutters.
I love the large round oleo buffers, reminds me of the old CIE AEC Park Royals.
The mail box is a hog. It will gobble up anything!

Yummy fabric mail today! Stocked up on some favorite prints from Weekends by Erin McMorris.
I think it's confirmed, she is definitely my favorite designer :)
isn't this the prettiest stamp you have ever seen? I already own one of these. My parents gave it to me. But, I wanted another.
I received a gorgeous piece of mail art today, "Unspecified Growth" courtesy of the artist JimFromIowa.

My digital camera is out of sorts again so I couldn't take a pix of it in its place of honor on top of my bookshelf, so instead decided to scan it which in turn led to a quick collage.
I love the artwork and I loved receiving this - so much fun!!! Thank you soooo much Jim!!!! :)
I spotted this neighbourhood window and the little window bouquet .... then I noticed a mail box AND a mail slot on the door. Nice to see someone anticipating snail-mail.
One of the things I love when on our country drives is the imagination some people put into the letterboxes, or mail boxes if you will. So, as with past practice we have a few to show you along the way, including some quite exotic ones. This one somewhere between Dalby and Tara is a bit of a mixed bag including what looks like a Christmas reindeer and the ubiquitous milk churn.
90018 leads 1S96 willesden-Shieldmuir past Wilson`s crossing, Northampton on the 29th of July. The Class 90`s having been dragging these 325 units since last week. The pigeon, however, is showing no sign of interest!
Both Turkey Vultures and Black Vultures visited the neighborhood today. This Turkey Vulture took a liking to a neighbor's mailbox.

No mail,,means no crappy things from courts, attorneys, or child support enforcement. I get more stuff from them than advertisements.
This is a spot-free variety of ladybug, striped with shadows from the flower stems. Most people know that ladybugs are beneficial in the garden; one ladybug can eat up to 50 harmful aphids a day.
I read somewhere that in the old days, people used to order supplies of live ladybugs by mail to protect their vegetable and rose gardens. The supplier took the requisite number of specimens, put them in a box with a large pine cone, and the ladybugs obligingly crawled into the crevices and made themselves at home for a week or two. Apparently they like this environment and find enough to eat to sustain them. The box was then shipped, without fear of damaging the insects, and when it arrived, the purchaser simply tossed the pine cone into the garden and the ladybugs crawled out and went right to work. Yet another example of pioneer ingenuity!
More rust for Gavin!
