Doors

“Everyone is an explorer. How could you possibly live your life looking at a door and not open it?”

Elizabeth and Frank have issued a challenge for folks to view doors as art. Check out the doors on their sites and then follow these links for a delightful journey.

    Dear Leslie,
    This is an intriguing door and your sentiment is one of an adventurer!YOU! I'm wondering. Is the grill work on the door a handle? or is is decorative only?
    Thanks for joining the fun! I adore doors!
