Everyday sights

I didn't mean to start a photo blog........but I've been taking a lot of pictures lately, for some reason.  Then again, this blog is about little details, as I frequently can't see the forest for the trees.  Anyway, my new years resolution was to take more pictures.  I meant to take pictures of people, but I keep taking pictures of things instead.  Still love them.

I noticed these leaves swept to the curb as I went to my mailbox on Tuesday, couldn't resist taking a picture.  Is it wrong that I bring my camera with me to check the mail?  I have been entirely too aroused by the mailbox ever since I joined Postcrossing.    

For a few minutes every afternoon the sun finds its way through a small space in the canopy of tree leaves above our balcony to form a thin stream in the window through the leaves of my plant.

My little box of postcard joy.  Thought it looked better with an artistic filter. :)
