the yellow door

    lol ... the pics I'm putting in the stream just so I can play "I spy" games :-D *chuckles* , though the "alphabet" game and "I have a request please" are also keeping me chuckling ;-) ... the things we do for some light-hearted fun and entertainment :-)

    the door ... I walk past this place often when I return from my walks in the woods ... there is one building which contains three homes ... a red door a yellow door and a blue door ... :-) gorgeous! All three gardens are absolutely spectacular ... three typical English Country gardens obviously tended to with love and care always :-) beautiful!!
    Interestingly, the pub in that area is called the Gardener's Arms :-) ... beautiful neighbourhood!!

    OOOoohhhh !! You guys explored the door !!! :-D ... Now I just might have to go knock on it after all and go tell the lovely folk there that their front door has been admired immensely!! :-D
    Thank you all !! :-)

      *Gasp! I love colored doors & fancy gates. I took a picture of a yellow door when I first started busting out my camera, but you're version is 10x's better!!!!!!

      Such a pretty place, and a welcoming entrance. It makes you feel you could go right up and knock and say hello.

      Everything about this picture looks so inviting. It looks like the kind of place that always have a hot kettle on and a cake in the oven, ready for visitors to drop by

      beautiful 'sunny' photo, great composition and colors

      A really great picture. Such vibrant colours. I have great affinity for doors. There is always something behind them. Not knowing what is an ongoing fascination that I have. Like sitting on a café and watching total strangers and speculating in who they really are. One never knows really and that is that all eclipsing fascination for me.

    16. BettinaSchwarz (45 months ago | reply)

      thank you all for visiting :-)
      I agree ... to me it also always looks like the kind of place where kindly people live, where there's somehow always a freshly boiled kettle, and some biscuits in the oven ... it's welcoming :-)
      And I love doors - I find them fascinating - I guess many folk have that kind of curiosity about "what's within / behind the door / through the entrance" ...
      I love the fact that in this country many people paint their front door a colour :-) This was something that I was not used to from our neighbourhood in South Africa - doors a varnished wood. Maybe white. but not red, blue, green or black or whatever ...

      Another excellent explored shot. You do well with yellows as well. It must be a colourful row of houses.
