Photo Friday: Doors, Doorways, Entryways…
May 16, 2008
For the official Photo Friday home, please click here.
Today’s theme is Doors, Doorways and Entryways. To the house, to the soul, whereever…
This week, I wanted to take some FRESH photos. Allow me to set the scene: on my walks down an old town byway, I see a nice farmhouse and between it and the street are these extremely interesting evergreens with boughs that dip and look so original! Perhaps, a long long time ago there was a fence that was built right over them and they had to bend and move to re-orient themselves to reach the sky?
THAT is what I had a hard time capturing - the bendies! But that’s not the theme - it’s the way the owners have a path THROUGH the bendies that give this the coolness aspect.
First, the shot taken from the rockwall across the road:
Zooming in…
and now, the grand finale!

Plus, a few other fun photo shots of other paths, doors, etc…
Not gettin’ to THIS door, huh?

This one is my ‘to the soul’ exhibit:
Ah, lush green….

Compared to the image in my mind’s eye, what the digitals caught is not as impressive as I had hoped. Oh well. I love taking pics of doors and have many many from my visits to various places over the years. I have the idea of framing a bunch of these and have yet to get around to it.
Hi CuriousC,
The title this week was fascinating, thank you. And I love your associated photos. I’d like to see more of the ones from the past too.
I particularly like the grand finale one - it makes me want to follow the path, stoop down under the growth, climb the step - and knock on that door to say “hello”! It’s very homely looking.
Thanks - the doors theme could be used in a lot of ways - those are the best themes, huh? We’ve got some challenges coming up - Thanks for doing all this organizing. I think Photo-Friday the whole week, ya know.

Ohh wow! I love the way those trees are shaped like that - it makes sense that there may have been a gate there at some point - good thinking! I’d love to see your doors too! Very cool!
Thank you. You’ve inspired me to get a move on my door photo collage! btw, that metal wall thingy you blogged about is REALLY cool - great find.
i love the bendie trees! i see a lot of that out here and always wonder what was there before. Great Pictures!
Yes, these trees are fascinating. I think they are cedars.
Looks very inviting….fun to imagine maybe a dwarf’s entrance to the house!
As a realtor - you would probably not be happy with these trees. No good angle for a good photo for the website, if you know what I mean! And, of course, you couldn’t say anything about height-challenges, huh?!
Love the way the first pictures pull you in! I wanted to go in further! The grass in there looks sooo soft and cool and it’s so peaceful.
thanks! I love walking this street and these trees are mid-way on my route. I haven’t ventured through them yet - I’ve never seen people at the house but it’s both inviting and foreboding, actually…

Great theme this week. I want to visit that old farmhouse just to walk through the “bendies”.
I love it. Thank you so much!
Tina, thank YOU. Very powerful post from you. I knew this could be an amazing theme in the right hands. We’ve got some challenging ones coming up, too.
I think these trees are Western Red Cedars, now that I’m tree-shopping… These particular ones, and why I chose them for this photo series, are extremely fascinating. I didn’t really capture that - oh well.
Thanks for choosing the theme this week. I love your paths and door ways. They are right where I would love to be in the now! Peace, Light and Love, CordieB.
Peace Light and LOVE back at ya CordieBee!
i love old trees and how they form archways and pathways to things. i grew up in a place that sported many old trees and they are very pleasurable memories. i think you’ve captured these very well. i may have to steal your idea about doorways - great concept.

Thank you Sarah! Your poetry is amazing.

These are beautiful!
Oh, thank you!
I just visited Author’s blog, and found her entry to be symbolic and a bit sad. Your entry, on the hand, is soulful and serene. That is quite a contrast. Good stuff.
