Here it is already Thursday, my now favorite day of the week. Norm, a fellow WordPress blogger, hosts a challenge on his site each Thursday inviting all to post pictures of doors. Appropriately, it is named Thursday Doors. Some of you may find this a bit odd but to those of us with a door ‘fetish’ we find this challenge dreamy! I never thought about my passion for doors to be anything more than that, my own passion, until I stumbled upon Norm’s site. I had no idea so many others shared my inquisitive eye for this inanimate object most don’t think twice about once they pass through. I feel as though I take a trip around the world each week as I peek through my fellow blogger’s photos of colorful, old, wooden, iron dressed, dilapidated, garden-gated, off-the-beaten-path, historic beloved doors.
When I travel this is the most exciting time to explore and photograph doors. I could walk around a town and photograph doors all day long. But as Norm warns, we must be respectful to those who live behind those doors. So far I’ve not had any issues while photographing but once did explain what I was doing to one person who popped out just before I took my picture. He was fine and told me to snap away. And I did.
I hope you will take time to visit some of the entries this week (and past) to Norm 2.0’s Thursday Door challenge. May you feel a bit more relaxed afterward!
This week, I found these sweet doors rather inviting…to the right guests.
“Come downstairs for tea,” said the wren to the chickadee.
And of course, this doorscursion (Norm’s term!) would not be complete without this…
What bird wouldn’t love this red house? Rent is cheep!
My response to Norm 2.0’s challenge, Thursday Doors.
These doors sure draw a smile. 🙂

Ah, what cute doors. Birdhouses are my fave– hope to be able to hang them in my garden some day.

Nice post; not the usual “doors” except for the bird cage but you have to admit that every bird house “opening/door” is different and is not same the circular hole.

Yes, not our usual doors but there were so many visitors that day it was hard to ignore. Not that they are nesting, I think just curious.

I think we humans call that an “Open House” 🙂

Beautiful interpretation of the door challenge. I love bird houses, although I have had to avoid them as I almost always have cats wherever I live.

Very unusual doors – not the usual ones with brass knockers or doorbells!

I’m going to assume that the birds were all okay with you snapping pics of their doors too 😉

And EASILY heard above anyone else. I doubt parrots will nest in these houses but I do love the exotic birds, macaws are one of my favorites.
