There are some kinds of mailboxes we don't show. Commercially-made mass-produced plastic covers is one thing that disqualifies a mailbox — usually. David Aber noticed this a couple of weeks ago, warned me that it's just a cover, and said he likes it anyway. I do too!

There are always exceptions to a rule…

7123 East Lakeside Drive

David Aber's March 7th email message was titled “Robbie the Robot.” It started with three photos:

Next, he wrote: that the sculpture in the background looks like two dragons:

And “The homeowner has hand-built several items for his yard and roof. This spider with
golf clubs for legs caught my attention. It may even light up at night.”

Another amazing mailbox — and more. Thanks, thanks, David!

1536 South Sahuara Avenue

Nice, isn't it? David Aber found this mailbox on or before February 21st, when he emailed me the photos.

6982 East 45th Street

Another great mailbox from David Aber: a covered wagon on a pedestal made of horseshoes.

He took the photo on or before February 21st.

5741 East 34th Street

Last week's entry showed a mailbox on a tree trunk. Here's another house — this one on a much different pedestal

7272 East Freestone Drive

The homeowner made this obviously-handcrafted mailbox.

That's an enlarged view of the house.

David Aber took the photo on or before February 21st.

6050 East 33rd Street

This mailbox has a gorgeous mosaic pedestal covered with dragonflies.

Above is an enlarged view of the top side in the first photo.

Now for the other side…

Thanks to David Aber for these photos. He took them on or before the day he emailed me: February 21st.

9621 East Myra Drive

David Aber says that the bird on the box is “probably a Northern Cardinal that has faded over time.
It still has the black mask that distinguishes it from the Pyrrhuloxia.” (If you're curious, try an Image search on Bing, DuckDuckGo, or Google.)

He flew by on February 26th… actually, he wrote, “I was taking photos of an 8 ft. tall armored knight and almost walked into this mailbox.”

Thanks, as always, Dave.

2437 East Beverly Drive

This is the third of three mailboxes in this corner of Beverly near Tucson Boulevard. Last week's entry, the second of three, showed the same style as this box: two posts with cut-out designs in between.

I passed through this part of the block on February 23rd.

2431 East Beverly Drive

Here's the second of three mailboxes in this corner of a block near Tucson Boulevard. Last week's entry showed a mailbox across the street with the same kind of design: cutouts between two posts.

I found this bunch of boxes on February 23rd.
