This week’s theme is inside. When you Google INSIDE you find out there are 7 films titled Inside and a few albums or songs. You can apparently turn things inside out. That is something I have tried with myself…interesting outcome. There is inside trading, looking inside from the outside, and I found this seriously wicked video by Rok Predin. This person is so talented it is scary.
So…did you think it was amazing ????
But me – well there is one thing that has always fascinated me.
What is inside the box ?
The letterbox to be exact. I miss the days of running out to the letterbox, throwing it open to reveal its secret stash. And that belly rumbling excitement when there was an envelope addressed to me.
So in honour of letterboxes and their hidden contents…
And my personal favourite…the best use anyone can find for a microwave oven !!!!!
As always, Beautiful pictures. The last one is the best for me.
Thanks Arindam. it is my favourite also. I found it one day when visiting a friend for lunch. After we went out for a walk and to my delight – there it was.
Awesome entries…..I LOVE the PO boxes!
Thanks Madelaine…they are rather special. I have never used them but find myself drawn to them when I go to town. All that beautiful red.
Your pics of mailboxes are wonderful, Jo!
Thanks Ruth…I have a thing for the quirker things in life…as there is nothing quite so quirky as a Kiwi mailbox.
Well maybe a Kiwi…
I loved your video images..Especially the beautiful flower that opens and the bear is inside.. Your mailboxes are very creative. My favorite is the one with the shells… very pretty… I need a new mail box.. I think it may be really cool to make one.. or perhaps decorate and try to fix my old one. It is on a country side road and some one or maybe a snow plow dented the side… I think with a little ingenuity and creativity.. I may actually be able to salvage it.. One less item in the land fill.. Now that is a grand idea!!!!
A brilliant idea. And when you are finished post it for everyone to admire.
Love the beads and shells. Tacky to the point of tasteful
Great stuff, Judy
And all I have to say on this is…
You are HYSTERICAL! Thanks for being such a good sport! And, by the way, LOVED that crazy show. Aunt Bea, not so much.
Sorry, “Jo”. Too many posts today. Bleary Bliary!
I have had many bleary days myself…hehehe
Love the microwave mailbox!
Me too !!! Been waiting for ages to be able to post it.

Hey there, at last a minute to visit. Have to admit I haven’t always had the time to read your posts but as they are emailed to me I do what I can. Determined to spend more time in blog land! Loved the video – though croc was a bit scary and a train in a bottle – should be a ship
Still love the walk to the mailbox! Take care,
Lovely to see you here Cheryl and catch up. I know what you mean though…sometimes it is hard to keep up with everyone and always comment. Life just gets in the way.
I love those post boxes! The girly one with shells
What’s inside the box? well it has the stuff you’re not ready to look at yet. You can take out one piece at a time to deal with and leave the rest safely contained 
Oh Gilly…you ALWAYS get it…every single time.
The microwave is hilarious! I’ve been taking pictures of interesting mailboxes in my area to do a post on it…can’t beat yours though Jo!
I love mailboxes…they say much about the people they belong to. Can’t wait to see yours !!!!!!!!
I love looking at letter boxes, particularly those in rural areas and small towns – they get creative
I know…they always make me stop and look…and usually take a piccy.
I also miss those days when letters could be expected in the mail. I enjoyed your letter box pics.
Thanks. I really miss letters. E-mails just don’t do it for me. When my son went to Naval bootcamp I was thrilled that the only way to contact him for a few weeks was by letter. Wow – that sounds odd i know…but I cherished the letters he sent me.
the microwave is hilarious! great captures.
Don’t you love the way some people live in this world…
that is some variety
Thanks Joshi…just like the Kiwis that make them.
You should win more awards. Rock on, Jo. Rock on!
Awwwwwww…thanks Russell. What a lovely comment to make.
LOVE the microwave!! Thanks for the good laugh!! I love you, Jo. And…miss you nearer, every day.
I thought you would like that one Brynne. So glad it made you laugh. Which makes me smile.
I love the last one. I miss the old day excitement of running to the mailbox too.
I think everyone who knows what it feels like to get letters misses that feeling.
What a neat video! I also thought that it should be a ship in the bottle, not a train, and I didn’t understand the bear inside the flower (unless it was like, a giant, bear-eating variety of pitcher plant…haha). But still an interesting video. Thanks for sharing! Now, the mailboxes…yeah I really dig the one with the mosaic. But a microwave? Seriously? LOL that is crazy. I guess it’s a creative way to recycle it, though, so at least it’s not leaching into the groundwater in some landfill someplace. I have to wonder what the postman must think about some of them, though….and I need to send you another snail mail letter soon.
I liked his videos so much I just had to share…some people are soooooo clever.
I love the microwave…recycling at it’s pinnacle if you ask me !!!!
Yes please – I LOVE snail mail.
Love your selection; so varied and interesting.
Thanks.
Just as we Kiwis are !!!!

Those are creative.
I think so Connie – so glad you do too.
Love to get mail but my mailbox is so ordinary. Thanks for the good tip on the ping backs.
Enjoy following your blog posts!
Thanks. Hope it helped (the pingbacks I mean)…so glad you enjoy the posts.
Fun interpretation. Thank you and thank you for stopping by my blog.
So glad to hear you think so.
I so miss the days when I would look forward to mail. Now I cover my eyes and open the bills slowly. Love the microwave one! I have a microwave that is sitting around storing my water bottles. I can’t remember the last time I used an actual microwave to heat up anything.
Yep – that is about what they are good for.
So colorful and brilliant post Jo , Good work
Thanks Jake – love that you think so.
Of course your Jo Bryant, still my elder in blogosphere
Don’t throw that word ‘elder’ around too much please Jake !!!!!
He,he,he peace
Haunting animated short.
I thought so too. He has a few other interesting ones on his site…
Great photos Jo! I used to have that over-excited feeling about going to the letter box to see if it contained anything for me, until one day there was a brown snake guarding it.
OMG…that is terrible. Truthfully I left Australia cause of those damn snakes…and spiders. A two metre king brown in my laundry drove me to New Zealand.
yes, fair enough too
that’s what i thought as well…hehehe
These are all very quaint and cool. Nowdays however, inbox has replaced a letterbox and I don’t think we are all so eager to see the content of it.
So true Paula. I just don’t get THAT buzz like I used to with the mailbox. And these days the mailbox usually just depresses me because it is all bills as no-one writes letters anymore.
Yes, or spam mail or adverts
. It is a shame really. I do have some old fashioned friends still that send me real cards and gifts for Xmas and b-day, and then my joy matches the joy of a teenager I used to be 
I know. Recently I got a parcel from a blogging friend and I was so happy I almost didn’t want to open it just to prolong the moment.
Somebody once said something about happiness consisting in postponed moment…. something like that. That’s why we eat desserts at the end of the meal I think
Sounds like it makes sense.
That microwave is so cool…
Oh yeah it is !!!!!!!
Mailboxes – what a great take on the challenge!
Thanks…it’s all to do with having a slightly twisted mind set.
Very interesting representation of the theme. And the video, really good.
So glad you liked the video…I sure did.
A M A Z I N G ! love the video, the pictures, love this post!
Thanks Ioanna…I love that you feel this way !
I like the movie…
Glad you found something on here that you liked.
One word, AMAZING
Thanks. I love to hear that sort of comment.
Loved the video! I forgot how much I loved mailboxes until you reminded me. Mailboxes are MUCH more fun then inboxes.
Aren’t they just…I miss snail mail. Now it is just bills.
I thoroughly enjoyed the video. I loved the flower at the end. Perfect ….!!!!
I loved snail mail and still mail cards for all occassions because I do. The mailboxes you have showcased are so creative. Very nice …!!!!
I love hearing that someone still actually writes and posts mail these days. Love that you love the mailboxes.
Yes how nice is that to actually get a LETTER in the mailbox….so nice.
Sadly it doesn’t happen too often these days. But when it does…I am one excited female.
Brilliant video, and a wonderful set of mail boxes.
Now I know what to do with the microwave oven I was planning to junk
I hope we get to see a photo of it in its new position…hehehehehe
What a fun post! Liked the video and the Letterbox what a great idea in regards to “INSIDE” loved it…enjoy your day
Jacqueline
Thanks Jacqueline. So glad you thought it was fun…I like fun. Hope you have a great day too !!!
