Random Acts of Beauty

These photos are from a few days ago, driving around Oriental.
What a lovely mailbox! The blue color is so nice, and the fall decor is just happy. This house also has the biggest pinecones in town. I occasionally steal a few from their driveway. If they leave them in the driveway, I assume they are for squashing under tires, and are fair game.

Yes, we still have lots of roses in bloom. That's what November is, in the Deep South. Roses in November, camellias in January.
