Doorways I have seen

For some reason, I'm in love with all the different styles of doorways. They're like an advertisement for who or what lives behind them:) (Now I'm cringing, thinking of the PINK door we've got at home - what is THAT saying about us? Oh boy.)
ANYway, this is the subject of today's blog.
Saw this in Bath - doesn't it look just like you imagined the door to The Secret Garden might? Brightly colored doors show up so nicely against Edinburgh's gray limestone buildings.
And can you beat these welcoming bushes and flowers lining the walk?
In Amsterdam, many of the doorways had these beautiful tiled walls surrounding them. Gorgy!
Again in Amsterdam. You can see the pretty fall leaves (and, um, the photographer) in the reflection off this door;)
And, finally, the door of the local dentist's office (called a surgery). You will note the impressively boarded-up door, weeks of undelivered mail decorating the stoop and various indigenous plants taking root. For those of you who are familiar with England's reputation for dental care, this should be fairly amusing. For those of you who aren't familiar, you are now;)
Cheers!
