I love the way you took all those beautiful door shots and drew a comparison to all the doors we either choose to go through or turn away from in our lives. I agree with Judy, sometimes we wish we hadn't gone through some of the doors in our lives but taking that chance is better than walking away and never knowing. Who votes for an FOL trip to AZ next time? We can all capture these doors in our own way. During Deanna's visit here, it has been amazing to see how we all have captured things differently. One of the amazing things about photography! Thanks, dear Deanna, and safe travels today. Will be thinking about you in all that snow. It's supposed to be 90 here by the end of next week! Wish we could mix the two together!terriporterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14333055591899961253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068408751309289035.post-56834300871561393852014-02-07T06:50:51.301-08:002014-02-07T06:50:51.301-08:00Great message and these beautiful images are the p...Great message and these beautiful images are the perfect metaphor.CarolHarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535526506601587242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068408751309289035.post-42437291440780429042014-02-07T06:33:20.718-08:002014-02-07T06:33:20.718-08:00I am so loving all these doors....I must go to Ari...I am so loving all these doors....I must go to Arizona!!

My nephew is moving to Tucson for a new job and I can't wait to visit him ( and these doors :) So many doors in our lives, that is true. Sometimes I've resisted and have been delighted, sometimes I wish I had just walked away. But I'd rather open those doors and live then to sit and look at the doors and wonder. You have put this all into words so well - so well.
