AIRMAIL

A somewhat stoic figure, this Pelican seemed attentive to my every move. I guess the mailman would simply drop a fish in front of him. While he bends down to pick it up, shove the days posts into the box and take off. A pretty good plan but a lot of fish. On another note, A salute to all our Veterans for their service to our country. Thank you for a job well done.

    I agree with your sentiment re. Veterans Day; thanks for mentioning it! Don't you love these unique mailboxes?! Whenever I'm in a rural area, I look for them, esp. around Duluth where there seems to be many local artists with a whimsical flare.

    Pelican, pelican, on the post
    Sitting there as only a pelican can;
    Which fishy are you hoping for
    When you see the ol' mailman?

    I'm enjoying this mailbox art series. I imagine what funny looks you must get as you prowl through neighborhoods taking photographs of people's boxes.

    That pelican has quite a stern look on his face. I guess he's serious about the mail!

    I hope this series goes on for a long time. Your town seems to have elevated mailboxes to an art form.

    That would be good, a robot version that reaches out and opens its bill as the mail carrier approaches - and then swallows the mail!
