Photo Hunters: Narrow-er Mailbox

The plow was over zealous. 
I now have to go to the village post office for the mail.

We had one like that too. It's amazing! I think the plows aim for them!

That's a nice entry for the theme. Happy weekend.

Poor you and the mailman although maybe he has a truck. Very original idea for the theme.

Carver said...

They don't make it easy for you to get your mail do they? or for the mailman either. That is a great shot though and perfect for the narrow theme. On another topic, I've been enjoying your amazing shot of the birds all winter. You are a very gifted photographer. I hope you have a great weekend.

How I'll be posting about snow too for narrow.

everydayhealy said...

I think I like the snow more than the mailbox cause it's so hot here in Malaysia. How I wish there are times when I can feel the snow in Malaysia. But, it's impossible! :~

napaboaniya said...

I'm thinking of the mailman getting to those mailboxes every snowy winter. *Gulpz* Given the hot weather in Singapore currently, I wanna jump flat on my face into the snow :P

Chris said...

Just look at all of that snow!! Here in the south of the UK we've had temperatures of about zero centigrade and a couple of flurries of snow which haven't settled and think we're hard done by. However the people in the north have had gales, snow and storms so I think we're very lucky.

Have a good weekend, Andree.

Jessica said...

I agree!!! The plows totally help with the roads, not with the mail or for getting the car out of the driveway!!!!

Happy weekend! I hope you got to your mail at the post office!

Cool photo for the theme. darn snowplow!
happy weekend!

Puss-in-Boots said...

Wow, that's toooo much cold white stuff for me...wuss that I am!

I love that LOL Cat Bible, but I don't think I could translate into that jive talk...however, I'd certainly buy a copy!

Gattina said...

You call this narrow ? You should see the once we have here, lol !

CRIZ LAI said...

Gosh...this is real bad. I can imagine now how hard it is to deliver mails now with such thick snow around. that's the reasons I rather use emails :P

P/s: Be in for a surprise for this weekend and COT...:P If you have the time, do check out my another interpretation at http://www2.crizlai.com/2008/02/02/photo-hunters-narrow/

Natalie said...

Oh no! What a bummer!

Blur Mommy said...

Oh dear, I guess the snowplow did too good of a a job, eh?

eastcoastlife said...

Oh gosh! Look at that snow! brrr.... it looks freezing cold to me. I can't imagine having to walk out in this weather to get the mail!

Marvin said...

Did you thank the snowplow driver for providing such an excellent photo op?

PastorMac's Ann said...

Aw, bummer. Well, at the bright spot is you got a Photo Hunters selection out of it! ;-)

jams o donnell said...

Great take on this week's theme. We just don't get snow like that here in London.. Happy weekend

Heart of Rachel said...

Great entry. I can't imagine how cold it must be there. It would certainly be tough for the mailman to carry out his duties.

Thanks for visiting.

YTSL said...

Heard from a friend of mine who also lives in Vermont that you guys have had quite the winter this year. It's pretty cold by Hong Kong standards right now too -- but still not cold enough to get any snow though! ;b

Hootin' Anni said...

That really is one gorgeous photo! Cold looking to the point that it made me shiver....but still, beautiful.

Thanks for the visit.

Pat said...

Oh no, your poor mailbox!! I love the snowy photo!

Happy Weekend.

Julie said...

Great photo. We have had that happen to our mail box before too.:)

MamaArcher said...

Haha, that is pretty funny!!

I posted a response to your question on my blog if you want to check it out!

claudie said...

Hello Andree
What a beautiful landscape! And this year I don't travel to the mountain to see the snow! Lucky you are but with warm clothes of course!

julie said...

My apologies, Andree, I have been here and was the first to put my name in the Mr. Linky box but my student came and had to work till 5pm. I just finished my dinner so here I am...

I love the photo of your mailbox. So why does it gets narrower? Maybe because a lot of private companies have been delivering packages unlike a few years ago? Or maybe people are no longer sending snail mail, except for bills.

It is so cold in Vermont! Have a great weekend and take care :)

rajson said...

I also loe that photo of your mail-box. We have similar weather here today!
Happy weekend!

Heather said...

Our mailbox is on the edge of a major highway and has gotten plowed a few times before. Could be worse--at least they were plowing. :)

Daisy said...

Oh my gosh, look at that! Poor mailbox. Now he will not get fed any mail for a while.

ian said...

poor mailbox looks like it received a right hook! at least its "ear" wasn't bitten off haha

Katney said...

When I used to deliver newspapers in the rural area I would come across some like that from time to time. It was not theplaw, it was teenagers. Ours just has a bullet hole in it from the previous owner.

Patricia said...

Oh, dear! I can honestly say that this is a very unlikely scenario here in the sunshine state! Hope you are having a wonderful weekend. You might enjoy a "narrow" story I tell in my post today that involves my cats. Blessings, dear friend.

si kiky said...

i can feel the breeze...brrrr....

Cindy said...

I've seen times when ours didn't even escape narrowly- it got knocked clean off the post and the post broken as well...I swear they aim for them...
Clever take on the theme!

Dragonheart & Merlin said...

Oops! Sorry to hear you have to go into town to get your mail now. Great choice for narrow, though.

JesieBlogJourney said...

Great thought for the narrow theme. My neighbor's mailbox faced the same fate too.

I love to look at the snow but I don't enjoy the shovel.

Mine is up too.

Ananda Niyogi said...

Cool (rather, snowy!) shot for the theme :-)

pinkjagxj said...

Way too clever! Yes the mailbox is a bit narrower.
Thanks for stopping by my blog.

Sandy C. said...

That's a fabulous shot :) What a great choice for today's theme. Hope it's not as snowy today...

The Trier and Jen said...

what a lot of snow!!!!
Oh no the plower :(

thanks for visiting my blog
Jen

A. said...

Wonderful picture! I can't remember when I last saw snow falling like that. Your photo sort of makes me miss it. Sort of :)

Siani said...

Lovely snow scene - not so lovely having to traipse to the post office to get your mail. I hope the bad weather eases off soon. Have a warm and safe weekend.

My narrow pics are up at Siani's Pot-Pourri.

Francine said...

nice shot

nightsky said...

What a lovely picture. Thanks for the visit.

Rebecca said...

Ooopsie! :/

JC said...

Ahh... the perils of living in the north. I do know the feeling... they are mere memories now though. It's a clever shot, indeed!

unrelentingambiguity said...

Great take on "narrow" and wonderful picture! Thanks for the visit!

zamejias said...

There's no snow in PI so I can't say much about the snow. But you have shown a unique "narrow" idea/pic.

zamejias said...

danielctw said...

No snow for me to experience. Lucky there is something called photohunt.

Pato & Pearl said...

Oh dear. How do you get to your mail? We dont get snow here so for it its really exciting.;)

Pearl

byrningbunny said...

lol maybe if we had mailboxes for the plows to aim for our roads would get plowed more often? We always have to go to town for our mail. Not fun in this frigid cold.
