Very striking! These colors look wonderful together. One of my up-north tasks after I retire next month is painting my mailbox. I think turquoise! (Maybe with red?!)
I can't believe some people actually prefer snail mail...especially the way the cost of stamps keeps rising and they take even longer to get from one place to another.
I am a former elementary school teacher, a full-time photographer, lover of all things French ( whose French is slowly improving), obsessive Paris traveler, enthusiastic church and community volunteer, and grandmother to 5 delightful grandchildren.
I fell in love with Paris in March 2007. It was as the French say, le coup de foudre : love at first sight. As a result of that trip, my photography took another direction. Since that time I have pursued a career of sorts in photography and dreamed of returning to the City of Light. November 2008 found me strolling the streets of Paris once again. My first visit I was so overwhelmed with the incredible beauty of the city, I photographed it as a "tourist". In 2008 I returned and I looked at the city with more of a photographer's eye. I wanted to capture the unique, the small details, and oh yes - the people! This blog was started as a photo diary of that trip, but I have been most fortunate to return to the city j'adore 15 times since. Each time I leave, I wipe a tear and start planning my list for the next trip. Paris may well be a moveable feast, but I think it's best savored in person! Someone told me that once you have been to Paris, you will leave a piece of your heart. I left mine right there, but I brought home some wonderful memories. It is my pleasure to share them with you.

I like to pictures mailboxes. A thing of every day life that tells a lot of stories..
Perfect color for the mailbox and the blue door is just adorable!

Love the color combination...good shot Virginia.
I hope it's not a bill peeping over the top of that letter box.
Like the matching colors !

Nothing wrong with "le courrier escargot." -- I prefer it to emails myself! Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)
What a pretty combination. It is a good reminder to step away from the familiar and colour outside of the lines once in awhile.
Thanks for a lovely image—and a good laugh!
Nice and simple
