Mailboxes


The subject for this month's Theme Day is 'mailboxes' - the first two are in the medieval village of Roquebrune and the last one, full of unwanted mail, is in Ventimiglia Alta across the border in Italy.

Please click here to see how others around the world have interpreted today's theme.

Laurie, in South Pasadena, California, has posted exactly the same mailbox as the one above. Isn't that fascinating...the same box all those miles apart.

  6. What a pretty mailbox and that's too cool that another just like it was posted, makes the world feel small and cozy!

    I gasped when I saw that you had commented on my blog. You are like a celebrity to me! Your daily photo blogs are my favorite. I appreciate the variety of your subjects and all of the information that you pass along with your photography. When I read your blogs I feel like I have actually traveled with you. So fun!

  9. Wonderful catches for the theme, Jilly. I would guess there are many charming mailboxes in your beautiful part of the world as you have so often shown us with windows, entrances, house numbers, walls, byways and such. Love it all. Thank You!

  19. Jilly, I love all three, but when I saw the first one I thought that it looked like my neighbor's box... I will have to check it out in the daylight!

    I am crazy for the red one but the setting of that first is beautiful.

    Bises,
