#235: Ballard, 17th Ave NW at NW 57th St

235) There’s something real freaky going on with this box, man. A few weeks ago, I visited this location and took a photo very similar to the one you see here. But when I got home, the photo… was GONE! Poof! Vanished! Sure, I probably accidentally hit the little trash can icon while fumbling with my phone, but I prefer to believe that sinister forces were at work that day. Fortunately, however, those sinister forces apparently took the day off, so here’s a replacement shot.

#233: Beacon Hill, Beacon Ave S at S Myrtle St

233) Yes, this is yet another photo of me with a mailbox. But there’s something in this photo that is even more interesting than that box. More interesting than me. More interesting than the lovely fall leaves. It’s that sign nailed to the tree. The sign that advertises “A TERATIONS”. I honestly don’t know if the proprietor is making a great joke… or if the L just fell off.

#232 Ravenna, NE 65th St at 20th Ave NE

232) This is another one of those boxes that was really getting on my nerves. I don’t know how many times I’ve explained to the boxes that I’ll get to each and every one of them eventually, but the ones that I see frequently seem to think they’re entitled to jump the queue. Such is the case with this one. I drive past it four or five times a week, and it always gives me that gaping “Whaaaa??” look, like I’m just supposed to stop then and there and take its picture. I guess it worked, because I finally did just that.

#230: Sunset Hill, Seaview Ave

230) Here we have another example of “I really can’t be bothered.” You see, I was running a bit late and had to get this shot as quickly as possible. Plus, a landscaper was working that hedge with a very menacing trimmer and I didn’t want to risk getting any appendages lopped off. So, I stayed in the care where it was safe. That doesn’t, however, explain why my finger looks so weird.

Ravenna, Ravenna Ave NE at NE 65th St

227) It’s another Mailboxes of Seattle first! It’s another Mailboxes of Seattle first! Yes, for the first time ever, a mailbox photo features a barrel! I know you all have been waiting for this day patiently, and I’m sorry it took so long… it’s just that trying to get all of our schedules synced up to do this was no easy task. You ever try to book a barrel? It’s a lot harder than you’d think.
