Good Morning and Happy Labor Day to those of you in the U.S.A. Busy holiday today watching and praying Gustav will lighten her load and that our far away neighbors will be spared another huge disastor!
Day One of Opening Doors Photo Challenge
For Day One of the Open Doors Photo Challenge I chose this gate and front door combination on a house I walked by in Ventura, California.
Make sure and visit Jientje at Heaven in Belgium to see more doors from around the world.
Photobucket is holding all my photos that I posted on my blog from 2007-2015 hostage and replaced them with big black and grey boxes with threats. So discouraging…as I’m slowly trying to clean up thousands of posts!

Wow ! that’s a very beautiful entrance !
BTW I WAS in my café, lol and had a glass of beer !
Good morning Ellen B.,
I hope you had a fun day yesterday @ the party. The fun never does end for you does it? Hee hee!
This is such an inviting entrance to a lovely house. I hope the owner asked you in for tea…
Have a wonderful holiday.

Pretty setting. Fun challenge!
So fun to see you yesterday! We got home at 11:30. Bill shoots his photos in a “raw’ format and tried to download them to his program to convert them. Six times the program crashed! This has never happened before! It was time to GO TO BED!
This morning the same thing is happening. He is trying different approaches to get it to work.
I didn’t take many photos, knowing he was! Frustrating ! More later!
Oh I would like to have a gate entrance like that with all the flowers! Love it! I played today too!
Ellen, that is just the prettiest picture. . .so welcoming. Happy Labor Day to you . . .
This picture is so breathtaking you almost made me cry.
Thanks, this is a wonderful post for this challenge!!
DANG! I was thinking that was YOUR front door and I was all fixin’ to tell you how GORGEOUS it is! Well… the whole entrance thing… and it is… I’m just sorry it’s not yours. Or mine… 🙂
That door is absolutely beautiful! The door, the gate, the roses – beautiful!
That’s just lovely! I like it quite a lot!
That is so beautiful Ellen. It makes me want to walk right in.
Very pretty. We don’t have doors like that around here. Most of the doors on houses are very plain. Have a nice long weekend.
Wow, this photo is superb!!! I love the way you framed the door with the trellis of flowers and the gate. Being a wrote iron gate, it also would have been a great entry in Manic Monday, lol. Very well done!!
Beautiful photo…love the roses!
This is beautiful!
They did a really good job on curb appeal and your photo of it is wonderful!
That looks absolutely welcoming!!
This is a charming shot. Don’t you just want to reach out, unlock the gate and climb the stairs to that door?
Oh my gosh! It’s so heartwarming. Wish I could have such beautiful flowers in my gate as well! http://nylarej.wordpress.com
gosh, this is just wonderful! makes me want to live there…
