Charming doorways


Do you find yourself taking pictures of the same subject over and over?

I just glanced through my photos and there are at least 50 doorways.

At least.



I can't resist the stone steps, the climbing ivy...


... the wonderful weathering.


Climbing roses seem so charming around a doorway...



... while others say, "welcome!"


I loved the whimsical tiled canopy on this doorway, like an eyebrow almost!



And the timelessness of other doors speaks of a slower, gentler era.



Our doorway is so plain when I look at these and enjoy their unique details.





Our own doorway is a Plain Jane. France and Italy have taught me I need to add a special touch. What fun to dream something up!

But plain as it is, our very own door is the sweetest one of all to me.

There's truly no place like home, is there?
