Nature takes over a mailbox

I'm still busy with Tucson murals. I'm hoping to resume posting Tucson mailboxes by the end of September or so. In the meantime, here's a mailbox somewhere outside Tucson. It's from @SusanSeePhoto on Instagram:

Mailbox Art collection by Marcia Tetley

On Pinterest is a collection of fun mailbox photos collected by Marcia Tetley: 110 Mailbox art ideas.

Lots of murals, not enough mailboxes

Besides this blog, I also contribute to The Tucson Murals Project blog. We're just swamped with murals, so I've been spending my spare time trying to catch up and keep track. I'll be back to the boxes ASAP!

1902 North Arcadia Avenue: Split personality

I was there on April 26th.

4821 East Hampton Street: Police! Help! (with my mail...)

We usually don't show mass-produced mailboxes here, but this one is too amazing. (Besides, I need to find mailboxes as amazing as the ones David Aber finds. :) There are plenty of mailboxes like this in photos online, but a close look makes me think this one may be handmade. If you'd like to see more police public call boxes, click there for a DuckDuckGo image search. (DuckDuckGo searches just as Google does, but preserves your privacy.)

I found it on April 26th.

Blog on vacation

I need to take a short break. So I'm suspending this blog for a couple of weeks. Look for more mailboxes in May!

3439 East 28th Street: Steel flowers on a steel trellis

I've been tempted not to show any more mailboxes with steel plants growing along them. (Click there to see examples and info about why.) But they're mostly different from each other, creative, and beautiful. So here's another!

I stopped to smell the flowers (and failed :) on April 7th.

Flowers and a heart: 3761 East Juarez Street

On March 10th…

…I smiled all the way home. :)

150 East 19th Street: Doodles and sun over hills

This mailbox has a sunrise or sunset on two posts with fanciful steel between them:

I found it on February 19th.

Walk across Swan to see...

When I drove up Swan on February 9th to re-photograph the mailboxes around 2005 North Swan and 2013 North Swan, I turned right on Waverly, just south of the Swan mailboxes. I found rows of mailboxes on both sides of Waverly. Each has a different steel cut-out underneath:

The mailbox at 4703 has a post with a lamp on top:
