Someone in our neighborhood put these santa hats on everyone's mailbox.

Mailbox on Mailbox. I cleaned it out today, but there wasn't much in it. The best thing was an unopened disposable water bottle. Tom and I shared the water.

Here's an R2D2 mailbox in NYC in celebration of the 30th anniversary of Star Wars. Unfortunately, this one is tagged. The ones around Atlanta still look good.

One of our "mailbox frogs" had been positioned on the mailbox door when I retrieved today's delivery and allowed a photo shoot. Unfortunately, I suspect it's a juvenile Cuban Treefrog (Osteopilus septentrionalis), which is an invasive species. Indicators are large eyes, warty skin, white stripe near the mouth, and large toe pads. I'm awaiting ID confirmation. Among other things, Cuban Treefrogs feed on this area's native frog population.

It's now clear to me that one way the frogs get into the mailbox is through a rather large gap between the hinged door and the box itself.

I liked this silk lily that adorned a mailbox in the Artists' Colony in East Gloucester, MA.

A sea turtle mailbox. This guy has an evil smile on his face.

love the scrolled numbers and red flowers

The mailbox is the most permanent part...followed by the skull on the fence, and the bones on the window...

I liked the contrast so took this photo

Rural mailbox with colorful flowers blooming over it

I spied another view of the mansion near me and grabbed this shot, nearly the only angle without the fence. What strikes me is the ordinary mailbox, with a little flower next to it, to go with this monster of a home. My mailbox looks like this, and has even more stuff around it, but my house? Uh, not quite. :)

Well, she wasn't home, but her house was open to explore. And this mailbox was simply too cute.

When the mailbox we had fell off the house, it was time for a new mailbox. We decided to make ours as unique as we are -- Complete with clouds, dancing girls, and our cat Milo as guard.

Prattville, AL

the wire words around the box were lyrics from a Postal Service song: "I'll be the phonograph that plays your favorite albums back, as you're lying there drifting off to sleep"

This is the size of our mailbox. If you are going to send a package, it's best that it fits. Otherwise, I have to stop by the post-office.... which might take days to get there.

Tried some cold tones on this mailbox shot in NYC. For some reason these mailboxes take really well to a shallow depth of field.

Even my little Mailbox is under Your care.

This sign was taped to the old plaster wall near our front door, under the more recent drywall.
