SUBJECT: Leaves on mailbox
After making the deposit for work this morning, I drove by the mailboxes in our parking lot and dropped some paid bills in the slot. As I did, I noticed that the yellow leaves that fell from the overhanging tree and the blue box made a nice color combination. I also liked the reflection of the tree on the wet surface. So I parked my car and debated walking back to the box with my camera. I gave myself a little mental pep talk, “You won’t have a picture today if you don’t do take it now…you will kick yourself later for not taking this picture….a few moments of embarrassment for a picture is worth it…come on, be a man!” I took my advice and did it. See, I’m FINALLY getting over my shyness about taking pictures in public. Yes, I am whacko, HandsomeHusband will vouch for that. But that’s why he loves me so!

A great picture. And I bet that once the shutter had clicked you found it wasn't embarrassing at all. :-)
Great color combination. I frequently kick myself for seeing and no stopping for a photo op. I'm getting better and I love the sound of a shutter clicking...
A beautiful color combination!
It looks like the leaves are swimming :)
I love the color combination!!
Great photo.
You just never know when you will see a photo worthy moment! I need to start carrying my camera in the car instead of leaving one at work and one at home!
It's a neat shot. I like the reflection of the tree in the water too.
Glad you are getting over that fear. My family would like me to be a little more fearful!
beautiful shot with the colour combination! And congrats for getting over your shyness!
