Doors!

There is a posting project among a group of unrelated bloggers today.
The project is to post pictures on your blog that you have taken of interesting doors.

The project was first brought to my attention by a blogger who posts from Marrakesh.
You can see her door entries by clicking HERE
All the bloggers who agreed to participate are posting pictures that they have taken of doors.
Without further ado, here are my pictures of doors taken in several countries.

Love your doors. Your door to your Texas home is so similar to our Mt. Home door. I don't think I have a close up photo of out to check right now.

I did come across a couple of the other "door bloggers" already and now I'm off to see the rest.

You've got a great collection of doors here! And I love it that you included the inside of your front door with the light shining through...that's always my favorite part about doors with glass...the light!

Beautiful doors Jill!
(And I have two dogs with the same reaction to a closed door as Tigg. In fact, I am sitting here with the door open to appease them, and it's on 40-something outside!)

Those are great photos. I love pictures of doors. There is a New Mexico artist whose work I really like, and she always used images of women standing in doors or by windows as a symbol of transition.

I wish I could remember her name. :-\
