It is too darn cold to go outside and take a mailbox photo, so here's one from a couple years ago when we were in Santa Fe. (SD1400 IS) We walked by this set of mailboxes several times during our stay and the cat was often there to greet us.

Aw man... I missed the deadline. Can I share anyway? From a few years ago. This is what came to mind when I read the title.

Taking photos with a fancy camera does not make me a photographer.
