It is a funny thing to think how many things we just walk by and never observe. I have walked by this mail box many times and never noticed anything, even in the warm early morning light. This morning as I walked Charlie it hit me like a ton of bricks. I first saw the red flag contrasted against the black that seemed to scream at me. The second thing I observed was the heavy dew that was running down the mailbox. The third thing I saw was the warm reflective light of the morning sun. Without that last element the image would have lacked the ability to keep my interest. One good lesson I learned from this image is never take anything for granted even a boring mail box.

This is a photo blog of self expression. All the images I post are self assignments driven by the need for more creativity in my life. This is my escape from the everyday shooting as a professional photographer.
