Weekly Doodles New Topic: mailbox

So we are starting something new. We are going to call it "Weekly Doodles" unless someone can think up a better name. (Note: the term "better" is completely subjective.)

This is meant to be something really simple, chill, easy, non-threating and thought-provoking. If you have time then you should participate. If you don't have time then don't participate.

The idea is to draw, paint, photograph, write, or whatever something relating to the theme for the week. No deadlines, so post late if you want to. Just know that we will keep moving on with new topics.

The first topic up is "Mailbox." Go for it.

(We might keep this one up for a couple of weeks to let people get into the swing of things.)

Mailbox, mailbox, mailbox.
