… or so it seems. A typical scene around 3:30pm most days is the postman arriving and filling up the mail box. This one likes his issue pith helmet, although most of the others don’t bother.
White (in some places light blue) sun helmets of plastic material but traditional design are still worn today by some mail carriers of the U.S. Postal Service (USPS), when delivering the mail on foot in hot climates such as South Carolina, Florida, Southern California, Arizona, and Hawaii.
says Wikipedia. So it would seem. I like the foliage at the front of this shot giving the impression that Postie had a far more difficult delivery to make than actually occurs. However that said, during the floods a few weeks ago the post van had to mount the lawn to avoid Postie stepping out into several inches of water. The mail must arrive after all.
