Thursday Doors – July 07, 2016
“When someone you love says goodbye you can stare long and hard at the door they closed and forget to see all the doors God has open in front of you.”
― Shannon L. Alder
This week’s submission to Norm 2.0‘s Thursday Doors.
Thursday Doors is a weekly feature allowing door lovers to come together to admire and share their favorite door photos from around the world
The image above is of yet another fine door at St. Mary’s Anglican Church, in Richmond Hill, Ontario. The door is an oddity, as there is no step down (I was going to title it “Mind Your Step”), and it’s sealed off on the inside. I imagine it must have been a door to the Incumbent’s residence in days gone by. I will need to ask about that.
In any case, it’s a beautiful door and is nicely complimented by a set of wonderful windows and framed below by a lush garden at this historical church in Richmond Hill, Ontario.

That is a lovely door indeed. Nice find Ed 🙂
Thanks Norm.
A beautiful and unusual color. Very nice 🙂
Thank you
Ed, what got my attention was the quote you used. It made me think about closed doors, and did I feel the way the sentiment ther saame way. When a heart is open to love, that love is forever, the human body can walk away, (or die) but the spirit and nature of the love, remains.. it is always with us. someone else could I suppose close a door, and turn their backs, but then, they would no longer be the love that was.. My love would still be with me.. and the door would always be open, for when we love, we love unconditionally.
Sorry… this blog inspired that thought.
No apologies needed. I’m happy to inspire. Thanks for letting me know.
Gorgeous colour, and wow yes that is a big step down!
Thanks, early morning light.
Beautiful place. It looks like it belongs in Europe. 🙂
It is lovely and welcoming.
It is. Except for the huge step and the fact that it does not actually open 😀
The door through which one can never pass–isn’t that a short story waiting to happen?
🙂
Perhaps, as I improve my skill as a writer orcas an inspiration for another.
I agree with some of the comments that the color of the door and windows are fabulous.
Thank you
Ed: Thanks for the like on my, “Day Lilies and Frog Rain Gauge.”. Interestingly enough, it’s raining here right now – and we need it. Our Spring was unusually low on rain this year. We generally get plastered in April and May – not this year. Take care, bud.
Ed: I want to thank you for the, like on myYellow Day Lily. The Lilies stopped blooming for a while and are now coming out again.
You are welcome. It is a lovely image. I have lots of Day Lilies but my Stargazers are done for the season.
So I’m not the only one who shoots doors. I’d love to share one with you that opened a memorial to a close friend at https://rite2run.wordpress.com/2016/07/22/the-gallant-warrior/
Well done, my friend.
Beautiful tribute Jim.
Ed: Thanks for the like on my, Iris in the Sun.
Beautiful photos, I get a lot of inspiration in my writing from photos.
Thanks. If you want to collaborate some time, let me know.

I like the color of the door. It has character. This part of town, houses, window trims are have contrast colors but not standing out. Culture! Thank you for liking my newest post on my blog.
Thank you
I may add a page to post my photos since I’m just taking pictures for fun, not as a professional.
Ed: Thanks for the like on my, Where’s the Male American Gold Finch. Always appreciate your continued interest in my work.
You are most welcome. I enjoy your images.
Inspiring photo and quote. Thanks for stopping by the table and for the like. Without it I might never have opened this door to your blog.
Thank you
