A #BlueBuddy communes with its neighbors after a long day, chatting about what the humans have recently entrusted them to hold — broccoli, mortgage payments, Cheerios, love letters.

A blue USPS collection box rests on a square concrete pad in the middle of a patch of grass. Next to it is a short stop sign with a very bent pole, creating the illusion that the stop sign is doing a back bend as it gets ready to go under a limbo pole. In the back ground, a blue sky with fluffy white clouds peeks above a three-story beige building with many windows.

A #BlueBuddy watches in admiration as a friend demonstrates top-notch techniques for how to limbo.

A blue USPS collection box stands on a narrow brick traffic island next to a small tree with green leaves. On the side of the box is the USPS logo. On the back are two two large art activism stickers. One states "Protect Students Not Guns" and the other reads "Class Consciousness Is Rising. It is time you rose with it."

A closeup picture of the top of a USPS collection box, featuring a sticker declaring "ATTENTION Mail Collection Policy" with details about what types of mail need to be taken to a postal service window rather than put in the collection box; and the sticker that delineates COLLECTION TIMES for items left in this box, as well as the latest collection time in the area.

The #BlueBuddy hemmed and hawed at the photographer's question, thinking of how its brilliant blue had dulled over the years, chipped paint and spots of rust appearing. Then it remembered how well it continued to serve its community and declared, "I'm ready for my close-up."

Happy #PostboxSaturday!

A blue USPS mail collection box stands on a brick sidewalk laid in a herring-bone pattern. On the opposite side of the side, flowering tulip poplar trees stand on a lot filled with green grass. White cumulus clouds float in a blue sky above the scene.

After months of waiting for the seasons to change, a #BlueBuddy enjoys a contemplative moment pondering the beauty of spring and anticipating envelopes stuffed with joyful news.

A blue USPS letter collection box sits on a small median strip on a small town road, allowing people to drive up and deposit mail. Behind the box, next to a pedestrian sidewalk, a very tall tree stands in front of a 3-story building that used to be a house and is now a commercial space.

On this #PostboxSaturday, a #BlueBuddy collection box communes with its arboreal neighbor, wishing it a happy start to spring and many unfurling leaves to come.

Happy 250th #PostboxSaturday! Thanks to this tag I have learned that in Britain postboxes are marked with the Royal Cypher of the monarch who was on the throne when the box was created. In the US, you can find the date, location, and manufacturing company imprinted on #BlueBuddy collection boxes.
