'''I'm ready for all your xmas cards and pressies now !''' On Black

So i thought i would find myself some extra mail boxes, as i know you guys will be sending me xmas packages very soon.. ..right ???? hehe

You would not believe how i had to take this photo ! LOL...so this is the best i could do compositionally with it (is there such a word?)

Beautiful capture. What a wonderful world you live in! I so miss living in the country, Sierra Nevada Foothills, which is very similar to what I see in the background. I can't complain about living by the California Coast though!!!

I have faved and tagged your picture with BRAVO and this serves as an invitation to The Best: BRAVO.

Im a bit strange but i absolutely love country letter boxes they are my favorite!

ohmykozy says:

Whenever I'm driving in the country I keep my eyes open looking for something just like like this. Have you noticed how many bush letterboxes now have the "official" Auspost labels, spoiling the effect - thanks Auspost!
This is a great shot- well done.

This is so good. No matter how you took it ;)

The different sizes, shapes and colors of the mailboxes are great and so are the trees in the distance adding some depth.

Seen on the front page of Explore at 13:14 MST on Sunday, November 26. Sorry, I'm not sure how to save a screen shot :)

We are off soon for our drive to the city to get my results from my bone test ( for my back), so won't be around most of the day, plus as most of you know it's our '2nd wedding anniversary' and my husband has taken the day off work to be with me :))

Catch up later with you all

Kind Regards

I know, just one more message, but I just had to tell you, I hardly ever look at Explore, but tonight I did. And there is this photo!!! And I laughed out loud at the photo and the title.
My employee Sarah always asks me to bring back pressies when I go out for errands.
Wonderfully universal message
