Fun With Mailboxes in Tucson AZ!

By

Let's face it - Arizona is a desert!  But that doesn't stop desert dwellers from spicing up the exterior of their homes with a variety of colors ranging from earth tone hues such as Terra cotta, mocha brown all the way up to bright fantastic colors such as purples, oranges and reds!  Some home owners even spice up their driveways with enhanced gravel that comes in such colors as lavender and brick.

Driving around Tucson's northeast side and central Tucson neighborhoods I spotted some very colorful, fun mailboxes -- here are a few that enhance and showcase the beauty of desert colors all year long:

This one is painted on all sides - notice the quail at the bottom!  Here is another view:

I particularly like this one because lizards and geckos in Arizona aren't this colorful:

And of course, it is snake season in Tucson!

And these two - were a little unique because they are on the same street - in an urban part of central Tucson:

Gab, Mailboxes are so boring! I am really glad to see that this forgotten icon is getting some attention...

It's interesting to see how homeowners express themselves.  I have to say, I kinda like the geckos.

Such playfullness with such a mundane item! I just saw a truck go by, Mr. Mailbox. The truck looked like a giant mailbox.
