Waiting for the Mail by kvphoto

Waiting for the Mail

"Waiting is one of the great arts."

--Margery Allingham--I still remember the Sears & Roebuck catalog from when I was a kid... we called it the "wish book" and my siblings and I would intensely study the toys trying to decide what to ask for from Santa. Getting Christmas cards in the mail was something I dearly loved too and waiting for the mail to arrive was always such fun as a kid. Waiting for Christmas day to arrive was difficult and was an arduous task as a kid. Now that I am retired time flies by so quickly. --This was taken last evening when the dramatic clouds appeared late in the afternoon.
Great black and white and sweet memories! I remember doing the same thing. =)

Nice composition the way you framed the truck with the tree & mailbox. I like the tones also.

The clouds look like an extension of the tree.
