Photographed while on holiday - Summer 2016 |
Instead of a colourful personal mailbox, I found this:

This is the side of a Canada Post mailbox. In fact, it's a mailbox that I pass at least 3 times a week, yet I never noticed the new paint job. I'm sure it was plain, unadorned red the last time I used it. How did I miss its new look? I quite like it. I particularly like that it includes the postal code for the North Pole.
My participation in A Month of Everyday Adventures helped to bring my attention to a change I hadn't noticed. The thought made me smile - until I turned around and discovered that my picture-taking hadn't gone unnoticed. A woman seated at the outdoor cafe across the road was watching me. Busted! Though I can't imagine what she thought of my mailbox photo-shoot, the look on her face made me think she didn't approve. I moved on before things got too adventurous. In hindsight, I should have smiled and waved. I feel like I missed an opportunity to share the adventure.
