This is the smallest Post Office in Florida. Can you believe it - this teeny tiny closet sized, 7x8 foot building used to be an irrigation pipe shed for a tomato farm. In 1953, it was pressed into service after a fire destroyed the Ochopee general store - which also housed the post office. It is still in service today.
The sky was blue, blue, blue the day I photographed this little post office. Nothing would do but to add a new cloud-filled sky - a little grungy texture and postage brush add a bit of drama.

What a cute little post office and I love the texture and postmark! Very interesting history for this! xx

You have taken some tremendous photos but this one is really at the top of the list. I can see this as a poster or notecards sold in the local shops. Very beautifully done.
Looks super cute!!
I love how you edited this shot!!
makes it a treasure
Fantastic! Even with my headache and cold, this has turned the corners of my mouth upward! Nice job
Very creative and such an historical Post Office ~ great shot ~

Wow, surprisingly small!
I like the texture.
I've never seen a post office this tiny, not even in a town of 3,000!
I like the grunge edit, I've tried it, but hasn't fit my photos. I love so much the postmark effect; it's from my childhood days according to the year. :D
Cute little building! I love your editing.
I love this little post office! The history was fun to read. Glad I found you on the Thursday Favorite Things Blog hop. :) I'm over at pictmilitude (my G+ profile doesn't make it obvious) - glad I found you. You have a new follower.
What a cool post office...since my husband is the maintenance guy at our post office...I bet he would love to maintain this one ;)...should only take an hour out of his day..if that much ;) Thanks for linking with Cool Clicks.
Neat! Such a tiny post office.
nicely done. I can;t imagine working in a building that small. It reminds me of the old photo huts ( you are porbably to young to remember them)Happy New Year wishes and thank you for sharing at the hop. I hope you will stop by again tomorrow for the new giveaway! xo
Pat, I love what you did with your snap of the little "O" post office. I have always delighted in that diminutive building standing all alone out there. Great work and Happy New Year
What a quaint little post office and perfect edit with it.
What a fabulous edit you did on this..Happy New Year.
Great shot- and I love what you did with it- classic!
Looks fabulous, great editing job.
Great picture!!
Very cool, and I love that postmark you put on it. I also like the grunge effect.
What a cute little post office, I love that stamp across the image!
Looks such a cute place for a post office.
Are you kidding me? This is so adorable! I guess they don't have to worry about big lines at the Post Office. Thank you for sharing this with us. Please feel free to stop by my blog and enter my giveaway.
The postage stamp was an inspired addition, I think. Cute little building doing a big job.
I love this. A great job.
Saddly all of our Post Office's are going to look like that before long. They are being forced out of business by some very unreasonable legislation that needs to be rescinded. That said ... it is adorable and I love the way you fixed it up with it's own postal stamp. Fun ...

Sadly, all of our Post Office's are going to look like this before long because they are being run out of business by some very unreasonable legislation that needs to be rescinded. That being said, I love your little Post Office with it's very own postal mark. Very clever ...
