Here's a unique post that hangs the mailbox far out:

I found this box on June 25, 2013, but didn't publish the photos until now.

Birds are walking across the top of this box, and a lizard flag adds color:

I flew by on June 24, 2013 (and stopped for a photo). I haven't published the photo until today.

You can't miss those huge house numbers! And the “Yes” flag is a fun addition.

I found this mailbox on June 12, 2013, but didn't publish the photos until today.

When I found this mailbox on June 12, 2013, the hand-painted flowers on both sides were faded by the sun. I wonder what it looks like seven years later?

I used my photo editor to zoom in on this side of the mailbox…

Here's the other side:

I haven't published the photos until today.

This mailbox has the house number in the post, one digit per circle — except that the last number, at the bottom, is missing. Since the whole thing is tilted at a crazy angle, I wonder if a car hit it?

I found this on June 12, 2013, but didn't publish the photo until today.

The sun is just over the hills in the cutout sheet of metal between these two posts. I took the photo on June 12, 2013, but haven't published it until now.

Slowing down for the summer

I've decided to head for the hills this summer — to Santa Fe. So I'm going to publish mailboxes once a week — every Monday — until I'm home in September. If I see a great mailbox in Santa Fe, I might publish it here too.

Stay cool this summer! And by the way, if you haven't seen all of the mailboxes since this blog started in 2012, look for the “Blog archive” in the right-hand column on a desktop (or tablet?)… or just keep scrolling down the list of blog entries, page by page.

This group of four mailboxes has two lizards between the posts. I found them on June 12, 2013, but haven't published them until today.

Here's a mailbox with a mosaic post showing the sun, a saguaro, and a coyote (or wolf?).

The two sides are different.

You might have noticed a strange pattern in the second view above. The mailbox has a series of horizontal lines. But, as I edited the photo, I noticed that it had striped patterns that changed depending on how much I zoomed in. Here's an example:

If you see something like that, it actually isn't real! (If you have nothing better to do, click on the second view and zoom in and out… you might see the patterns. How exciting. :)

I took the photos on June 12, 2013, but haven't published them until today.

Another in our long-running series of mailboxes I photographed in 2013 but didn't post until now is this box with a cutout plant on a metal plate between the posts. I snapped the photo June 12, 2013.
