Very nice photos of bridges Colleen. There aren't any nice bridges here. They are all really boring looking. :( I will have to have a look in my photo collection and see what I can find.

Since I am too sick to go anywhere and take pictures, I was digging through my digital pics on the computer. This is the only bridge I could find:

At least it's not an ordinary bridge.:)

Gary, great shot, hope your feeling better soon and that its only a cold.

Sore throat, slight temp, stuffed nose, nothing real bad. Lately it barely gets above 0 (F) here, don't know what that is in celsius, all I know is it's COLD and I'm not going to get better unless I stay out of it.

I looked at my bridge picture again and realised that I didn't take it, I'm IN it! Does that still count?

Actually, I know 3 people in the picture. I am assuming it was my wife who actually took the pic. From the camera forward is: My oldest son Kaelan, his cousin Lee, and me. It was taken at a place near Hudson, Wisconsin where a group of railroad enthusiasts have built a miniature railroad. Once a month,(in the summer) they open it up to the public and give rides.

Colleen

I think the bridge is great! no one says it has to be just one bridge, I agree with Sophia you can always take another one. Love the name Kaelan.

It's been dreich and a bit snell (wet and cold for non Scots :)) here so no photo opportunites.

Colleen - it looks very cold where you are! Like the shape of the bridges - nothing like that round here.
Sophia - very magical looking - makes me long for summer.
Gary - nice wee train - hope your feeling better soon.

I can do that. We have a boxer meetup this Saturday, after that we can drive across the Golden Gate Bridge and take the long way home.

Of course my photos won't be as nice as Jan's.

My son, Tre & I were exhausted after the boxer meetup, I didn't feel like driving across the bridge (if we did, the ride home would have been an hour longer). It took us an hour from the meetup to the bridge due to traffic. After we took the photos, we went Pier 39 and had dinner (yummy).

How about mailboxes?

It was the "theme of week"months ago,but we can do it again.We have not pettily decorated mailboxes in my neighbourhoud,but i will try to find one :p
So the theme of the next week is "Mailboxes"

Emmmm sorry if this sounds stupid ;) But do you mean a mailbox as in something you get your incoming mail out of or a mailbox that you put your outgoing mail in to be collected?

It's just that over here we don't call them mailboxes! We have letterboxes (a slot in your front door) for your incoming mail and a postbox that you put your outgoing mail in to be collected.

Signed confused of Scotland :confused:

I thought that these boxes in the front door called mailboxes!we have not boxes for the outgoing mails in our front door in Greece.

Sorry about the confusion - we don't either - I meant these:

www.anidea.co.uk/lower-edmonton/general/pillarboxes.html

Although we don't called them pillar boxes - usually we call them post boxes! Like we have the postman (who delivers the post) although we call them the "postie" :)

So we are taking photos of mailboxes at your house that the mail is delivered into?

Colleen

Actually, where I live we use the same box for both purposes! We also have the large collection boxes for out-going mail, but the only one in the town where I live is in front of the post office. Why not just have it be a picture of whatever you get mail in or put mail in where you live? It will be interesting to see the different types from all over the world!
