D is for Doors

D is for doors (not the group, though I do think that Jim Morrison was sex on legs) which I absolutely love - they are like magical portals to another world.  All around the world doors can look so similar but completely different as well.  I'm always taking pictures of doors and I love to wonder what the inside of the building is like behind the door - some I think will be totally magical whilst others very mysterious.

The first door is a pretty pink one which is in Tasmania - I can picture a really lovely colonial styled home inside complete with ladies in long skirts and gentlemen with beards and curled moustaches.

This door is in Budapest - there were lots of brown wooden doors with different carvings or glass etchings in them.

Nice blue and gold door in Mojacar (pronounced Mahaca) which is in Spain.

I really like how with the door below they've hung a patchwork behind the glass to give a plain door a really funky look.

I should have had Ken stand next to this door to show you how big it was as in the picture  you can't tell - it was very tall.

Old door  - I always think if these sort of doors could talk imagine the things in history that they've seen and the peoples lives they've silently been a part of.

The door below is actually quite plain but they've used a paint effect to make it look really special.

This door is very unloved looking but it still makes me wonder what's behind it - maybe a den of iniquity.

Doors that have been put in prison - lovely ironwork in front of doors.

Door to the house of the half moon (at least that's what I think the Spanish means - the moon is a bit of a clue).

This door is very beautiful as it's purple.  I've included the picture showing the whole front of the house so you can see how gorgeous it is.

I'm also a big fan of fairy doors as I think it's important to have a way for them to get into your home and sprinkle their special brand of magic dust everywhere.  Below is my purple door which sits in our lounge-room, and below that is one of my friends fairy doors ( see I'm not the only one).

Hope you've enjoyed this look at doors - they're such simple things but so beautiful.

Until next time, be good, be happy, and take a look at the doors around you and have a think about what they're hiding behind them.
