Mailbox transformed...

Painting the mailbox was important to me.

Before...and after.

The left pic above is the first day I took photos on 10/13. It's come a looooong way since then. Now, if I can only get some seeds in the ground...

Here are shots that equal a western panorama. Too much haze to see the ocean today, but it'll happen. Left to right. Southwest (Marina del Rey with several multi-story buildings). The center photo is straight west (just ocean out there) and the last is to the northwest (Santa Monica Bay and the Malibu bluffs way, way out there in the distance).
