Here are a few image searches for turkey mailbox:
Happy Thanksgiving!

6418 East Calle Dened



I'm not sure whether this mailbox was painted by one person or by a committee: flowers, leaves, a diamond pattern… and a flag with a pattern like a checkered racing flag?




I stopped by to ponder on June 21st.

6433 East Calle Dened



This mailbox isn't just mounted on the front wheel, fork and handlebars of a motorcycle…
Take a closer look at the box itself (below). There's a headlight on front and a handle for the flag. The house number is inside a license plate frame:


Amazing. I rolled by on June 21st.

Although I found this mailbox with an eagle on the post June 21st, I saved it for Veterans Day.

This rusted mailbox has seen better days — a lot of them. :) It was along my mailbox-hunting route on June 21st:

David Aber calls this CelestialBox. The homeowner hand-painted it:



He emailed the photos on September 17th. Thanks, as always, Dave!

426 West Simpson Street (in 2014)





We usually don't show mailboxes with saguaro-shaped posts, but this one has a saguaro made of horseshoes!




The door to the home also has a horseshoe design.
I found this mailbox on March 3, 2014, but decided not to show any more saguaro posts. I just changed my mind about this one. :)

2237 South Pebble Beach Avenue




David Aber found this example of “cat-titude” and emailed it on August 5th. Although we usually don't show mailboxes that have a cover (typically vinyl) hung over the box, those covers are usually commercially made. Dave pointed out that this one looks handmade, and I agree (it's a good job!). Whether it is or not, though, I'm sure I'd get an irate message from Colette if I leave her picture off of the blog.

Have a good Labor Day! (You can be sure that Collete is.)
