Robert at Thoughts of a Father is hosting a project he’s calling Show Me…
Today, Robert wants us to show our mailbox.
It’s made of sturdy plastic and has a really WIDE opening. If you look closely, you may be able to tell that part of the flag has faded because of the sun. I think it gives it character. :)
Our mailbox also has a lever that raises when the box is opened.
The really cool thing about this is it has a yellow sticker on the back, so you can tell from your home if the lever is up.
I never thought I’d show someone the ins and outs of my mailbox. One of the reasons I like doing these projects is the challenge of making something that’s often mundane a little more interesting.
Go visit Robert and see other people’s mailboxes. Please join the fun. Tomorrow, we’re supposed to show our kitchen. Hmmm… I so rarely use ours, so just finding it could be the REAL challenge!
Stumble It!

I love the angles you took on shooting these!
That’s a clever little lever!
I had to smile at your remark about finding the kitchen!

Isn’t fun to see all the different kinds of mailboxes that are out there?
That lever really is ingenious.

That’s so cool that you can tell from the house if the flag is up or not. This is really turning into an interesting project.
Yup, this looks a lot like our mailbox, but we don’t have that nifty little lever and flag indicator…

Nice mailbox. Interesting angles. I like the idea of the little yellow tab. People are so wonderfully inventive.

Those are great shots. It’s kind of fun to see everyone take an everyday, seemingly non-interesting item and turn it into art. I love that they’re all so unique, just like all the participants. Your angles are nice. I’d like having a wider mailbox for those packages, big envelopes, etc. :D

I never would have thought mailboxes could be so interesting! I like this one. It’s nifty that it tells you when you’ve got mail.

Loved the rest of the pictures you made this week! I’ll join the challenge too, and what you said is true, it makes you look at interesting ways too photograph things!
Very inspiring, those photo challenges!

I like all the scratches on your box, they give it character.

Yoiu did a great job with these angles! It’s HARD to photograph a mailbox in an interesting way! :)
Melli’s last blog post..Ella Adventures … and Show Me!!!
I agree, I would have never thought to show anyone my mailbox. Wonder what the neighbors were thinking when I was on on the ground taking pics of mine! These challenges make you look at things in a whole new way!
